I lived in NE WA and still have property there (working our way back out there). The hubris and ignorance displayed by many wolf management critics often knows no bounds. They are often completely unaware of how range land is priced and managed nor how the wolf management program works.
However, with all the concern expressed for the gray wolf, I have yet to see wolves re-introduced into the many acres of protected greenspace on the west side of the state.
I am sure the western side the Cascades can use more wolves to cut down the deer overpopulation and coyotes.
- arminiusreturns 6y agoWell, it seems like education on the topic would be a good start. Do you know of any good introductions to the topic for laymen?
- pnw_hazor 6y agoHere is the State of Washington's wolf management portal. Lots of good information here: https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/at-risk/species-recovery/gray-wolf https://wdfw.wa.gov/species-habitats/at-risk/species-recover... Washington State Dept of Natural Resources - Grazing (Leasing/Contracts) https://www.dnr.wa.gov/programs-and-services/product-sales-and-leasing/agriculture-and-grazing/grazing https://www.dnr.wa.gov/programs-and-services/product-sales-a... Some Indian tribes (maybe just the Colville Confederated Tribes) have their own rules for range area management but they are similar to WA state rules.
