Wolves’ numbers strengthening in Washington

[nwwanderer]

Rant: Give them the same status as a coyote and quit spending money on them, they will be fine, done

If anyone is under the impression that someday we'll be able to manage the wolf population, wake up. It ain't gonna happen.

It will soon be illegal to even talk bad about them......choose your words wisely

A fair an accurate count of the wolves in Washington.

-During calendar year 2023, WDFW spent a total of $1,611,412 on wolf management activities, including $84,686 for Damage Prevention Cooperative Agreements for Livestock (DPCAL), $164,102 for Contracted Range Riders, $28,596 for livestock loss claims, $31,602 for lethal removal operations in response to depredations on livestock, and $1,302,426 for wolf management and research activities.


$$$$$ like everything else. The wolves and bears and bees are to the activist bio like the heroine addicts, homeless, and mentally ill are to the metropolitan city official - an endless source of government funds.

Perhaps they ought to consider purchasing SD cards and cameras from Midway.

Wasn't that long ago that we couldn't talk about SSS on here, the wolf lovers would get their ban wagon rolling. My how things have changed....

Not surprising the cat's outa the bag so to speak, more people are a little brighter on what the wolves really do, like the guy who had his dog eaten in his yard a while back while his wife watched, He's not pro-wolf anymore.

Reminds me of Idaho back in the day, uncontrolled wolves have finally worn-out their welcome and WDFW know it, and it won't improve, it will only get worse.

If the WDFW raised Ungulates like they do Wolves our hunting would be amazing!

I remember a time THEY DID and IT WAS.👍

But that was when we had a Game Department.

Minnesota has 3000 wolves, give or take 10%.  Deer hunting there has definitely suffered and moose are almost extirpated in the northeast arrowhead region.  Even though the federal guidelines are vastly exceeded, any attempt to manage them has been stopped by pro-wolf litigation.

I wonder how much they spent on Mule Deer management?

They probably spent the mule deer funds on the wolves to help manage them.🤬

Probably a line item under the Wolf management plan titled:
Wolf and ungulate relationship “How many Mule Deer it takes to feed the current and future wolf populations”
