Have not run across a wolf yet, but when I do, I am sure it was a coyote.............

I did run into a Griz up on Blewitt pass a few times and was told the first two times I was crazy, but the third time the Gamey admitted they were there but it was kept very quiet.

now thats silly, the WDFW should be telling everyone they are there and to be careful....



EXACTLY BearPaw!!!! Thats why I love to share with u all people what I found and what I know.

It's much easier to find missing hikers if we make sure they carry those little bells and Bear spray.

We could just look at and smell the piles of Bear crap in the woods.  :chuckle:

A few years back, a guy going over the loup loup to okanogan kept seeing this guy pulling one of those big culvert grizzly bear traps into or out of the JR camp ground. So he got the guys licence plate number and ask his friendly county commissioner what was what. The commissioner called the wdwl and ask and they said they had no one in that area, didn't know what he was talking about, so he called someone a little higher up. Come to find out the wdwl had released a collered grizzly bear and now they were trying to catch it agin, to prove there were bears in that area. So now ask me agin just how much I trust wdwl?

The Methow pack is the worlds largest wolf pack, upwards of 150 wolves in the one pack. Tell him to name the pack because, the WDWL are not in any hurry to find wolves, they want to drag the new "wolf pack" sightings out as long as they can in order to asure a very large wolf population in Washington. Part of the Methow pack is on MCclure Mt. tonight, howling up a storm, the main reason I am up at this hour.  :bash: :bash: >:( :guns:

I have relatives who claimed they saw wolves in the Twisp River Drainage at less than a hundred yards for several minutes...it wasn't until I heard them howl myself a few years later in the same area that I was convinced that their there, no doubt, 100%.  Saw tracks and fragments of bone from a fresh kill, the chunk of bone had been regurgitated in the middle of the trail...should of saved it for DNA I guess.

I think the last five years WDFW have been really dumping wolves in the Methow Valley, more people are coming forward with having seen wolves being released. I wondered why the WDFW jump up and down so much trying to defend themselves. They sure don't want it coming out public what they have done. Lied to the public how many times now? Not that it matters, they seem to think they have no one to answer to. It is starting to screw their credibility all to hell though. First wolf pack in how many years? what are they claiming now? seven wolves in the Methow, they are starting to become the number one joke. I would guess the tall stories that they put in the papers are for the people who have no clue, people that would trade everything to hear the howl of a wolf. The same people who are selling there micro ranch livestock, and those who's dogs have been eaten by wolves and they won't report it because they love the wolves. I wonder how they are going to feel when they can't let their kids outdoors to play without standing by with guns. I bet they will really enjoy the country life then,eh.

Down here in the Southwest up in the Coweeman, we do alot of elk and deer hunting up past headquarters and when the big game is slow we go after the coyotes up there.  We began howling one day and got several to answer back, then they all started to sing, it was really cool to hear them all together. Then one started to howl with a deep  deep howl.  All the coyotes COMPLETELY shut up.  This one howled 3 different times.  Never saw anything, but we hunted above Afton WY 3 years back in area G and on the Last day we heard this same sounding Howl, and the guys we were with said, ya there are several wolf packs up here....It was spooky then, and it raised the hair on the back of our necks here.  Talk to any of the locals around here and I'm sure others have had the samw experience!!! Lets see what the WDFW has to say about the SW having Wolfs????
