Cool find, sorry that a deer had to die at the hand of a wolf, but still cool find.  Thanks for posting pics.

just a big yote

[trophyhunt]

Northeast Wa? Nice pic and yes it does piss me off. That sucks ass.

[Heredoggydoggy]

Hate to say it, but it doesn't look like the wolf killed it, just looking at the tracks in the pic--is there more to the story? 

[boneaddict]

THats whats left of a chewed skull that was dropped there in the snow.

Yep that pretty well pisses me off.  Were you up in the north east corner?  Or was this the lookout packs doing?

[boneaddict]

A friend took the pic up in Colville

OK--Don't get me wrong-I dislike wolves as much as anybody, but that still doesn't prove that the wolf killed the deer.  It might have been wounded and ran off to die elsewhere.  Wolves are opportunists like any other predator.  Why expend energy to chase someting down, when it's already there?

              got to agree with this guy.  freshish wolf tracks on snow that is burying an old rack with no carcass?  im not pro wolf by any means but come on, that pic doesnt prove the wolves killed it.  in fact saying those tracks prove its a wolf kill would just show poor tracking skills, general inability to read sign

Thought you were trying to squeeze a whitey in the calender this year

OK, be happy there were that many wolves running the woods.  Actually don't think I said, here is a wolfkill.

I'm not happy that there are ANY wolves running around in the woods.  There's a reason they were exterminated years ago.  And you are right-you never said it was a wolf kill.  But the heading on your post was rather provocative.  Wolves have been here in the Northwest all along, but not in the numbers they are now.  20 years ago a buddy and I were Chukar hunting west of Waterville, and we saw the tracks of a pair of wolves in the fresh snow coming across a wheat field and hunting along the edge of the sage.  I followed the tracks to the breaks of the Columbia River to try to see them, but never did.  You can bet that I kept my dog really close to me the rest of the hunt.

love the photo hate the implication

Just to have wolf tracks in our woods pisses me off, especially a pic of tracks that are near any dead deer. I relate the two. Many of you want a black and white diagram of the entire kill site with a chronology, to include pictures. I do not need this level of sophistication. I can just imagine... 

Bone, your freaking picture pisses me off! 


I have not seen wolf evidence in the woods where I have hunted for 30 years....until this last year. Wolves have not been omnipresent like some have suggested.

[Jonathan_S]

Hey Bone, it DOES piss me off.

Also I'm not going to nitpick and consider alternatives because I KNOW those are wolf tracks and I KNOW wolves kill deer.

Cool picture  of a sad story

[BOWHUNTER45]

[WAcoyotehunter]

I'm actually suprised how few wolf kills I find in the woods... I find wolf tracks all the time (I don't get pissed about that) but I rarely find kills.  Nice picture.

[boneaddict]

I find kills, but rarely classify.  Cats are pretty easy to tell, but other than that its difficult.  I find more kills that I label as roadhunters that don't recover their game....   One year, back before "we had" wolves and the lookout pack was secretly known as the Libby creek pack, I confronted a rogue wolf that was killing "for fun"   That was crazy.   I lost count how many he killed, but it was a crazy amount.

[browney5er]

love the photo hate the implication

Maybe that photo doesn't prove that those wolves killed that buck. But those wolf tracks in the snow implicates the presence of wolves in Washington, and THAT SHOULD PISS YOU OFF!!! If you are to politically correct to see the point he was making, than we as hunters don't stand a chance in Washington State. WOW I REALLY WANT TO THROW SOMETHING.

Thanks Bone, Highly pissed and depressed, because the problem will grow to epic proportions in our generation. 

[deaner]

it all boils down to one thing.  these coyotes are obviously getting bigger and we need to start upping the power of our coyote guns.  time to do something about these 100 pound yotes!

[Kowsrule30]

Damn it!!!! Now you got me all pissed off.... Thought today was going to be a good day.....    

[Heredoggydoggy]

Damn it!!!! Now you got me all pissed off.... Thought today was going to be a good day.....   

What do you expect of a State stupid enough to elect the Liberal Poster Boy (Jay Inslee) to be our next Governor?

To the libs, the Wolves are not the predators--WE ARE! 

[BENCHLEG]

Ouch!! My guts hurt.

[Wanttohuntmore]

Time to throw a yote hunting contest in the northeast.

You totally missed it, the wolf tracks are the issue here not the antlers!  A 100 plus pound wolf eats a lot of meat.  A whole bunch of 100 plus pound wolves eat a whole bunch of meat.  They were gone, now they're back, and they will continue to multiply and multiply, that's the issue, not whether they happened to kill this particular deer.

[boneaddict]

I chalk it up to cockroaches.  You see one, you stomp on it.  You trap you poison, you keep them at bay, coexistence is possible.   You set up a haven and protect them....THEN WHAT HAPPENS.

[clindsayrun]

Have the coordinates been reported to WDFW?

[boneaddict]

They know where they are at.

[bearpaw]

definitely an unpleasant reminder of what our wildlife is going through in the northeast and elsewhere....
