What this hunter doesn't like is the reintroduction of a species that hasn't been here for decades. Other predator species have filled in some of the gaps in the absence of wolves, the way that the number of cougars have increase, and as some have said, coyotes too.

The primary arguement for the people who want wolves here is the coolness factor. Everybody who goes outdoors into the woods, and lives in areas, where wolves are present and are expanding their packs will be impacted.



So your saying wolfs have not habitated the PNW for decades?
How would you compare that to tens of thousands of years prior to that?


Yup. They've been gone (wolves) for many decades as a viable population, and the prey species is ill equipped to deal with them because they haven't had them as a predators in generations. While there may have been a stray wolf or pack that had traveled through Washington in the past 50 years or more, they really haven't been here in any numbers until the past decade or so.

Man came and displaced the wolf.
