This is impossible.  Only 27 people here saw wolves or sign???  I thought WA had a wolf hiding behind every tree!  ;)

And then there is the 3-S's……... ;) or just two if you left the shovel at home…..

 Three weeks ago I saw two black wolves on the driveway, five days later the neighbor saw them cross the road, later that week they were seen crossing highway 20. Last week a grey and a black killed a cow and calf next to the sewer plant in Colville. Sightings are to common to list. Game Dept. calls every kill something other than a wolf kill. S.S.S. Take care.

   Saw a wolf in 117 during spring bear hunt. May have seen another but couldn't positively identify.

I saw 2 wolves in the Wenaha lastweek.  I live in Northeast WA and work in the woods, I see alot of sign and have heard them howl but these were the first wolves I've seen in WA. Theres alot more than people think.

The question wasn't if people had seen wolf sign, but if they had seen a wolf SIGH. Seeing a wolf sigh is much more uncommon than simply seeing wolf sign. Wouldn't you agree?

Seeing any wild animal sigh is something I've never witnessed in a lifetime in the woods.

Hunted 5 different mountains in NE WA over the course of the regular muley season....hunting one mountain each day pretty hard shaking and moving putting on the miles just trying to find game, cut a track, or see any fresh sign...and hunted a few of them a couple times. ALL been good quality mountains to me over the last 22 years, seen lots of deer and killed many bucks, on all of them. Saw 3 does and 2 wolf kills on one of the mountains, and both wolf kills were nice bucks... a big heavy 3 pt and a 4 pt. No LIVE deer on the other 4 mountains except 2 nice 4 points and another nice 3 pt, also killed by wolves. I was in snow every day and put on about 8-11 miles on average each day and besides seeing those 3 does, only cut 2 tracks over all the other mountains...both big buck tracks. Followed the one track for about a mile after cutting it and went through all kinds of shin tangle and then started seeing a single wolf track in the buck track. That went on for about another mile, maybe more. I was fortunate enough to catch up to the buck, but unfortunately it too met a furry four legged fate right along a heavy timber line and old burn with lodgepole and reprod. Several different sets of wolf tracks all around it, looked like a sport kill. Looked like they tugged on a front leg some, the neck, and left it. 2 days later I went back to check it out, no fresh wolf tracks anywhere around it but a bear had been on it that morning. Like I said, sport kill. The other buck track I cut came up out of some seriously thick timber up and over the ridge and back down the other side in to some seriously thick timber. Looking at it's tracks in the snow it was moving pretty quickly, definitely not screwing around. Never seen anything like this before. Knew of more bucks killed by wolves than harvested by hunters..some of the most depressing *censored* I've ever seen. Saw 6 legal bucks and about 30 does in the first 2 days alone last year, saw 3 does all season this year.....pretty dang sad. And the fact that they appear to be targeting bucks makes it even more depressing. I'm still losing sleep over it. And we have 4 new confirmed packs in the eastern 1/3 of WA just this year?? To add to the 12 confirmed packs already in the eastern 1/3?? With 14 of those in NE WA?? (That's the last I read where it was at)
It's time to collect them ALL and bring All of them to King and Pierce counties....if they want them so bad, by all means....take em. WA state is going to be a draw only state for Mule deer in no time at this rate...pretty piss poor job of game "management." Washington Department of no-Fish and no-Game is where they appear to be heading. As you can tell I am still quite bitter about the whole situation.
Kill to hunt, hunt to kill!
