Wolves kill another cow, Smackout Pack suspected
« on: October 10, 2012, 07:26:37 AM »
Haven't seen anything in print yet, but local radio reported this morning that a dead cow was found in Rocky Creek with wolf tracks.

Stevens County Sherriff's Dept invested as did WDFW. It was called a wolf depredation on the radio, will be interesting to see what comes out in print. They said that the Smackout Pack is the suspect pack, but I have had numerous reports of another pack in the Rocky Creek area last year and this year that WDFW has not confirmed yet.

After all the hippies complaines about the last pack getting shot it'll be interesting to see what they say about this one.

The cow was part of a natural fed herd that is marketed all over Washington in farmers markets, etc.

Why doesn't the WDFW fess up and tell the truth ? They haven't ever said anything about probable wolf kills of the 7 sheep killed near Art Creek by the Boulder Pack this year.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

On the radio again, they said environmentalists tout the Smackout Pack as the perfect example of how wolves can fit it. That may have just changed.  :chuckle:

I hadn't heard about the sheep campmeat?

That's because if they did that they would have to admit that it's a pack. I think they realize they have a huge problem and the wolves a recovering faster then they thought they would. They just dont want to admit it.

A pack can be in more than one place at a time.  I think the idea that they are always together is a very common misconception around here.  A single pack will disperse and hunt in groups, pairs or solo pretty regularly.

I doubt wolves killed that cow.  The problem wolves were already removed.

Sorry.   Couldn't help that last reply.   

I'm still so amazed that they're going to "Rest" with wolves that aren't habituated to eating cows and expect a better/different result.

I'd love to know where that biologist got his degree.....
