The Thread We Need: WA Wolf Population Up Again

[KillerDave]

So how come if I go deer hunting I'm "trying to murder Bambi" but when wolves do it they are "controlling cervid overgrazing"?

Personally, if you were to run down a deer on your own 2 legs and kill it with your own 2 hands. No guns, bows or knives I would be in favor of giving you unlimited free tags.

Take your shoes off though, to make it a fair “game”.

So you guys want me to kill Fawns with my bare hands? Seems kinda brutal!

Sorry, you walked right into that

Well I agree with David, bare hands AND bare feet

Real men hunt wolves with their bare hands.

Anyone who thinks a modern rifle with modern sights and modern hunting boots somehow levels the playing field against the deer has clearly never been deer hunting..

I just read a report that the wolf population in OR has increased also.
New wolf pack right here in my neighborhood.
The sheep farmers might start having problems.

Challenge accepted. You’ll regret this when you learn that I am related to the Schrute family of Scranton, PA.

Does he get to recruit 4 or 5 of his buddies to join in?

4 or 5 Shrute boys could decimate an entire forest of its deer in a single night. Like lambs to the slaughter.

And like Mose the Beat Bandit, you'll do it while wearing socks to not leave footprints.

I worked in the woods, and like all who do we’d joke about tackling a deer. A friend while in Florida was on a crew brushing line, and they came upon a small deer with nowhere to go but the path straight at them. One of the guys tackled the deer. Wrong! Deer are all bone. “That deer kicked the shit out of him.”

So I was at a conference last fall where Donny Martorello (WDFW Wolf program leader) led a panel discussion on lessons learned from the last 10 years he’s been doing the job. You wanna talk about walking a political tightrope? Wow. Say what you want about wolves in WA. That is a tough job.

I just hope WDFW can do a better job managing wolves in WA than they do with seals and sea lions and cormorants.
