I was hunting elk in the Puyallup GMU clost to the Mud Mountain area about 3 / 4 miles out of Enemuclaw. I was watching a pair of deer (sm buck and doe) from a higher vantage point. The buck walked off quickly but the doe was staring hard off to her left. I continues to watch her for over 75 / 7 minutes and she did not move a muscle. . . FROZE. So I was determined to wait it out and see what had her undivided attention. Well, I got bored and stood up after another 5 minutes and there, standing on a log about 50 / 60 yards down to my left, was a huge, hairy, gray wolf ! ! ! I glassed it with my binocs as I could not believe what I was seeing. I have seen thousands of yotes and rogue dogs, but these were wolfs. Yes these, as there was also a redish brown one as well. they were doing the tag team to get that doe. Well I scared them off. When I did, they ran together than ran off, just as a mating pair would act. I contacted WDFW and they seem to think they are "wolf-dog" animals released by some other party? I think they are a new mating pair from the Teanaway pack and have sought out a new territory to call their own. The Teanaway pack is only slightly N/E of this location and wolfs will travel long distances to establish a new territory. So, has anybody else seen or heard of wolfs in the White Water area? I am going back VERY SOON with my movie camera and am going to put up trail cameras in the area to see if I can capture pics of the pair.
If he said they were hybrids you can shoot them with no questions asked....
