Another sighting by the trapper who has been providing a lot of photos and locations of these wolf packs in NE Washington.

Three times this last summer 2011, a pack of 5 adult wolves was seen around the dominion area just east of Colville.

Jan 29, 2012, today two wolves crossed the road on the backside of Dominion Mtn. Here's a photo of the tracks.

Another wolf picture from my trapper friend on the Orient side of GMU 105.

This could be one of the wolves that H-W members have been seeing near the Pierre/Summit Lake area. This is also very likely one of the wolves that's leaving wolf scat full of cattle hair. McIrvins lost over two dozen head of cattle this last year and there was wolf scat all over the area full of cattle hair.

There are 5 wolves running in this pack, the trapper only got a photo of this one so far. But numerous people have seen these wolves, seen the tracks, and heard this pack howling in the area.

Trailcam photo taken January 2, 2012.

That wolf looks like it has been eating well. >:(

BP maybe you should introduce your "Trapper" to the Colville as a way of getting his Fed certifcation  as a Gov trapper done...  :twocents: Make it so hard for the WDFW to not hire a guy like this.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Wolf caught on trailcam by my trapper friend north of Kettle Falls near Barstow in GMU 101.

This makes 4 areas in GMU 101 with wolves. Barstow, Malo, San Poil River, and Sherman Creek.

Where is WDFW?

What is the justification for a 2 yr degree? What would you need one for? Why would you need an AA let alone a Bio degree fro trapping and slapping a collar on?  :bash: Sounds to me like they were trying to limit their pool.  :twocents:

99% sure I saw one near Loomis two years ago. I have pictures of the tracks.

No dogs in here either.

These wolves have been on this mountain for over a year straight. They don't seem to ever venture off of it. One of them is BIG!

Are you friggin serouis? So if the best trapper in Washington state doesnt have a 2 year degree at a collage, they cant trap for the WDFW? Thats BS. Hands on is way better than a text book. :bash:

Talked to mt buddy in Republic today and he has been finding a TON of fresh wolf tracks and kills.  Everywhere from in the 204 up behind Konz's Ranch all the way to Quartz Mountain.
