Right from one of the links Fox Claw... "However, we have been informed that Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) is standing in the way of the delisting legislation."
Anyone that looks a little closer can see Maria is not happy in how WI was managing their wolves. Tammy shared some of same feelings so she allowed her leadership to block it. This allowed her to stay neutral on the issue. So now instead of returning the wolves back to the state to manage, they manage(prevent the management) from Washington DC.
The last election was about that very thing. Some intellectual in a far away land telling the deplorable how they should go about living their life. Hillary was going to walk in and was going to be business as usual. That is the reason she wouldn't publicly come out and support the delisting effort until after the election. Anyone that has been communicating with her over the last few years has see a radical shift in her public stance since the last election. Now if everyone that is sick of business as usual would take the time to write/call their senators asking for a vote yet this year, we can inch this thing along.

I have to give credit where credit is due. Tammy is still working hard on the issue. http://wxpr.org/post/sen-baldwin-calls-congress-act-delistingkickin buck, are you and your dad out trapping this year? If so, send me a PM. I might have something for you.

If you want to lay blame look no further than the speaker of the house for failure to allow the bill to be acted upon. Congress is a failure, this bill was a compromise and reasonable, yet didn't get done. Well put Fox Claw.

I still get several farm papers to keep abreast of the trends etc. This week two of those weeklies wrote very good articles giving Senator Baldwin credit for being strongly supportive of the science based research for managing wolves and also other agriculture concerns. Not often conservative farm papers support a liberal Democrat but there are times and issues when common ground can be reached. With the power that Baldwin now has to help move issues as the minority party I feel we can work to encourage her to continue as she probably has more capability to change mindsets of more liberal Democrats than any of us do.

Good post Bryce. Really it is all about our voice being heard and those leaders working to lead on those issues. Sure it is a setback and puts us at the bottom again, but we should never be worried about how fast we get there. Sometimes we just need to enjoy the climb.

Wolf Summit Is anybody going? Last day to register is tomorrow. Caught some really nice northerns and even a few muskies in the lakes across the road from the facilities so the trip up should bring back some good memories.

Thanks for sharing. Ironically, I just had a discussion this morning with DNR regarding my encounter with fresh wolf sign Thursday on my property. Here's the response I got today from DNR: "Looks like you probably have a wolf there. The size of the tracks is definitely in the wolf size range and the fact that one of the pics shows it walking a very straight line leads me to wolf. Many large dogs have a similar size print but almost never walk a perfectly straight line. We’ve had some recent reports of single wolves being caught on camera outside of known pack territories. It’s always possible to get individuals or pairs searching out for new areas to set up in. We are committed to service excellence." Visit our survey at http://dnr.wi.gov/customersurvey to evaluate how I did." We sure do need a season on them. I never realized how far apart wolf prints are when they are running.

Here is a link to the bill Link Maybe you Wisconsin guys could try to lean on your Representatives to take over lead authorship of this bill so it can get a vote on the floor. Peterson is a Democrat and for the time being the Republicans aren't letting bills introduced by Democrats to get a floor vote. There are four Republicans from WI who are co sponsors. Duffy, Sessenbrenner, Grothman and Gallagher. Also a Republican from MN Tom Emmer. It seems at present there aren't any Republicans willing to stick their neck out, a push from their constituents couldn't hurt.
