Recordings and summaries of emergency calls show Washington wildlife officials at first objected to an air rescue of a woman treed by wolves, or help from the Okanogan County sheriff.
Washington wildlife managers initially opposed sending a helicopter or a search-and-rescue team to save a woman treed by wolves in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, according to recordings and summaries of emergency calls.
...
Notes from a call between DNR dispatcher Jill Jones and a wildlife officer summarized WDFW’s position, and her position, shortly before the helicopter launched.
“No helicopter. Federally listed species. 3 WDFW personnel saying so,” according to DNR’s call log.
“We are more concerned for her life than the listed animal,” Jones told the officer. “He indicated that she is safe up in the tree. ... I told him that we do not know how safe she is. I don’t know how stout the tree is, and if the limbs will continue to hold her or how long she can hold on.”
...
. Within a half hour, the woman was safe in the DNR helicopter piloted by Devin Gooch. The wolves had scattered as Gooch flew overhead before landing in a meadow.
...
according to DNR call logs, the agency was prepared to “launch the rotor and will deal with aftermath of WDFW later.”
...
Jones, the DNR dispatcher,...
“When I talked to Fish and Wildlife, they said, ‘Nope. That’s not search and rescue. That’s just us. And no helicopter,” Jones said.
“For goodness sakes, somebody needs to figure it out,” the county dispatcher said.
“I don’t know how long this girl can hang in the tree,” Jones said. “... so we’re finally just launching a helicopter.”
The flight from Omak to the woman took 14 minutes,

These imported, not native Canadian Timber wolves are huge.
Too many : overlapping government agencies.
Correct : Wolves do kill for fun .
Federal Government wildlife , chair sitters would have arrested her .
Shoot and scoot. Never tell a soul.
Preferably 10mm against full sized wolf. And a couple of high standard capacity magazines.
A myth indeed - no need to call Jamie...

there is, right now, a wolf pack in/around Eagle River (a ‘burb of Anchorage) that has followed several people/killed their dogs. The local fish & Fur have refused to do anything about the pack.

Not surprising, given the number of bears (7 this summer) killed in town. After they killed one human/mauled another.

Disbatcher should have told government asshole that the woman was a voter. The help would have gone out like a shot.
Mind your language, please; there are ladies present.
Infuriating, especially when a woman’s life was threatened.
Also infuriating that wolves are even listed as endangered.
Sickening that they even questioned what had to be done.
I’m curious about this story. What was a lone woman doing hiking in wolf country, and how did she manage to outrun a wolfpack and climb a tree? Who actually called, and how did that person manage to evade the wolves? All of this happened at a point that was a 2-3 hour hike from a road, but a phone call came in.
Correct : Wolves do kill for fun .

This is absolutely false. First of all, do you think the emotional state of “fun” is actually something wolves can achieve?
Yea,no.
This story doesn’t add up, I agree.

I once worked with a woman that had ~ 8 wolves at home. There was a 20’ chain link fence in her back yard. She invited me to visit her “dogs” one evening. They were outside when we arrived. She cautioned me to “stay still/Don’t move” when she let them into the house. They approached me, sniffed and wandered off to other parts of the house. I admit to being concerned but not fearful. My clothing probably smelled of the 2 female pointers I kept at my house. I was a potential pack member to them.
“Too many : overlapping government agencies.”
Yes, and each one of them is, in reality, just another jobs program for the otherwise unemployable. Just think, the USDA has more people in its employ than there are farmers today, and their main mission is food distribution welfare. Eisenhower was right when he said: “It’s hard to be a farmer when your plow is a pencil and you are 1,000 miles from the corn field!” ( or something closely akin to that)
Back in 1995, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( Ed Bangs ) kicked off its “Northern Rockies Wolf Recovery Project” with the release of Canadian gray wolves in Yellowstone National Park. . At that time, Yellowstone’s northern elk herd was 20,000 elk living in the park and in the adjacent areas..
Then, the experimental, non-essential Canadian gray wolf population of the Greater Yellowstone Area decimated the elk, deer, moose .. local populations.
Next stop : destroying Washington, Oregon ... populations
I never go hiking without my loaded .44 magnum in my backpack and plenty of spare ammo.
Wolves don’t kill for food only. Mass killings for fun , too.
Wolves killed 120 buck sheep in a pasture south of Dillon, Montana , .
Kathy Konen says the sheep were killed, but their carcasses were almost all intact.
Jon Konen said: “I had tears in my eyes, not only for myself but for what my stock had to go through.. “
