ID has a great long term study on integrated predator pre relationships. I've posted it before. Very applicable to eastern wa. I've been told that other states studies cannot be used in court in this state.

I would be in favor of only WA residents being able to comment at Commission meeting too.In fact I don’t think as far as game management is concerned only WA residents wishes should be considered.

I've been told that other states studies cannot be used in court in this state. Idaho also did a study a few years ago in the couer d alene river drainage on elk mortality. Greatest number of elk kills were lions and many think the wolves are constantly running cats off their kills. leading to lions having to kill more often. That would be an excellent study to compare with eastern Washington. Not a huge difference outside of an imaginary line. Its really easy to google the study. The season(with dogs) and bag limit on lions has been extended till the end of june with 2 otc tags. The fact we still have a healthy population of cats would be a good argument against Washingtons ridiculously limited season.
Wsucoug,This is a tremendous thread, and I'm very glad you've made it. You are right. Statements not backed by studies are simply that; they lack substance and are as bad as the commission's statements. I just got accepted to the Environmental Science and Terrestrial Resource Management major in SEFS at UW and I am passionate about studying these topics. I will return to this thread as I come across resources and literature. Thank you for taking the initiative here. I'll support how I can when my studies allow.
Go to you tube search predator prey WDFW there's a video on there study. There's mention of why they won't use other states studies here in Wa.
