[QUOTE="jmden, post: 433980, member: 1742"] If any of you Washingtonians get the RMEF 'Bugle', you'll see an article in there about Washington State and Gray wolves. There appears to be 3 established packs, acc'd to the state. The Management Plan (yet to be finialized) is currently calling for a minimum of 15 breeding pairs in the state. Washington has roughly half the elk popluation of ID, OR and WY and 40% of what MT has. [B]Yet, Washington is calling for the same number of breeding pairs of wolves as is ID and MT!![/B] OR recently settled on a much more reasonable 7 breeding pairs--[B]Yet they have 2x the elk WA does! ...and WA wants 15 breeding pairs? There won't be an elk left to hunt.[/B] During the public comment time this summer WDFW received over 50K 'canned' form emails from 'Defenders of Wildlife' disciples. I wonder if they would 'defend' the elk? Edit: [URL]http://www.defenders.org/[/URL] The Gray wolf--their biggest reasons for contributions--follow the money.
