Seems fair to me, the hard part is going to be getting the certificates of cause of death.

What good does a tax credit do when you do not have the tax load to use it?

It is not a subsidy when it is to pay for damage caused by a public resource.

of course it is. predators exist and this small group of people want to be paid when it impacts them negatively. SUBSIDY. buy insurance if you want to protect your assets

Wolves are not the same. If you want wolves you should have to pay for the damage they cause on private land.

Attitudes like this will force ranchers to do illegal things to protect what their family has built over several generations.

No, those people will do what they re going to do. My opinion is my opinion.

I have insurance to protect my property from damage and I don't get a subsidy from the government. IMO Wolves are the same. Every subisidy starts with a special interest making a good case for it and once it is created it is sacrosanct. I for one don't want to pay for any more subsidies for special interest groups.

Nuisance animals should be handled appropriately but leaving that in the hands of individual land owners is likely to result in extirpation again.
Actually, a depredation program already exists to deal with chronic issues from deer and elk.

If a rancher or farmer can show evidence of crop depredation, ODFW can issue kill permits to the landowner.
