I'll vouch, we both thought it was a bear at first.  The thing would keep standing up alert, almost acting nervous, then go back to doing whatever it was doing.  It was silvery on the back with a blocky head, and had a long bushy tail.  I had the scope out to snap pics of it if it was a bear, once we realized it wasn't a bear I didn't take pics.  It's captured on the gopro but can't see detail, just its size.  I wish I took pics through the scope now, didn't think they were uncommon.
Just like bigfoot sightings! Something always goes wrong with the camera. :chuckle:
  :chuckle: I know right, maybe I should post on the other thread we seen a bigoot instead, had Dan-o been there we no doubt would have got the pic.  :chuckle:

come on Arte you know this crowd if there aren't pics it did not happen...so you say you saw a bigfoot eh ;) :chuckle: :chuckle:

Thank you miss Run, I have no doubts that is what we seen.   :chuckle: and yes I know the rules.  No pics, it didn't happen.  :(
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

I swear I saw one in the olympics, but no pic means i am mistaken.  Sucker was went snortin barrelin down the mtn as soon as it saw us.  My dog started to go after it... luckily he came back to my call!

Don't doubt it for a second. There have been reports of a wolverine in that unit at least once a year the last few years. My dad saw one 2 yEars ago in that unit and we saw one about 10 years ago in a neighboring unit.

Several confirmed sightings in the glacier peak wilderness the last few years.  One lady posted a photo of one in spider meadow on another sight.

Buddy and I were hiking back to the trailhead a few years ago and came face to face with one in the North Cascades. It was pretty decent sized compared to the ones I have seen alive and dead in Alaska.

They have been around Rainy  and Heart's Pass for years. When they started that research project a few years ago, all the old timers from Twisp to Winthrop were laughing at the researchers telling them were they would find them. A short while later they get hair and pics exactly where they were told to look, lol
