WDFW should hire some hound hunters to find wolf tracks and packs.  Hound hunters can spot a lion track driving 50 mph, tell the direction and size of the cat and how old it is.  They've got years of experience.  No, they hire stupid kids just out of school many females that don't even know the difference between a deer and a wolf track.  Do we hire a plumber to wire our house?  If you want to find tracks you need to hire people that are expert trackers.  Not even many deer hunters are very good at tracking (no offense).  Hound hunters have examined thousands of tracks so why not hire them to find these wolves.  Although, they may have to require that the guy not carry a gun.  This could be problematic.    :chuckle:

I just got a phone call telling me a rancher near Tonasket is losing cattle. He just found 2 or 3 that were pretty much totally eaten, he thinks it's wolves.

There's been wolves in the area for yrs. old man saw one in the mid 90's above chesaw. He was on a ledge glassing and all of a sudden the hairs on his neck stood up, looked and a wolf was watchin him from 100yds. I remember meeting him back at the truck it bothered him to say the least.

This one has been spotted several times.  The closest was about 3.5 miles from the town of Tonasket.  It is alone.

I was camping near Wauconda last year during modern deer.  I went outside to shut off the generator and herd the coyotes howling.  Then realized that it wasn't no yote.  Kind of makes your buttwhole pucker up. Then later that night i was woken up buy the camper shaking,  but it was just some d@%m beefers playing tricks on me.  Anyways, it really makes you think when your out there by your lonesome all day.

I live between Hull and Havillah, south of Swanson Mill, there have been wolves trailing deer through my property.

After that happened, wife and I are getting ready to walk the 1/2 mile out to the mail box...wife will go:  "you're armed? right?"

Just caught this.  There is a black wolf that has been spotted close to Tonasket.  It has not been seen with any others as the last sighting I heard about which was in October.  I don't know if this is the same wolf or not.

This guy must work for the WDFW: Wolf Counting Division. :chuckle:

My wife and I didn't see the second one either until we read a few comments.
