The Wenatchee Pack
« on: March 26, 2013, 03:44:15 PM »
Two wolves on game camera in Pitcher Canyon...feeding on an elk carcass.

http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2013/mar/26/chelan-county-may-have-a-pack-pitcher-canyon/

(Just found the same link in the Entiat wolves thread). “To be honest, these wolves may have existed there (in Chelan County) for more than a year,” he said. “We’ve been getting reports here and there of people having seen a wolf or tracks or hearing howls.” --Dave Volson, WDFW

The Yakama tribe better get in there and kill those wolves. They're going to eat all the tribe's trophy elk.   :yike:

It's only about a 10 mile jaunt for the pack to get to the Coffin which is the mostly off-limits to people elk preserve. 
That's like an all-you-can-eat gig for two groups right there.   :rolleyes:

It's not gonna be much of a preserve anymore, is it?

Unless the wolves learn how to read, and stay out because the signs say no hunting.

The closest known wolf pack is the Teanaway pack near Cle Elum. The female wolf had been a member of that pack.


I wonder if that's the same female that used to be a member of the Lookout pack that relocated herself to the Teanaway a few years ago.

Wasn't that one collard?

Now that you mention it, I guess she was.

I moved over to Wenatchee a few years back and love it here. I was really enjoying learning the area so that I could have some good hunting close to home. It seems that all my spots now are becoming overrun with wolves. It really makes me sad to think about what it will be like down the road. My dad always talks about the good old days and how many deer/elk/ducks whatever they saw. I was always amazed compared to what I saw at that time. Now it appears that THOSE were the good old days and my kids are going to see the change that I did...  :yike:

Yes but just think how much better the wolf hunting will be for your kids!    :tup:

I am going to toughen up my first boy by giving him a knife and a few matches and sending him off into the woods. He won't be able to return without a wolf pelt  :chuckle: That is how he will earn his stripes

Wow....What is almost as interesting as the wolves being in Pritcher Canyon is a nice bull elk.  I spend a lot of time in them thar hills and have never seen an elk that low before.  I guess with the weather and wolves  they could be in my yard soon (east wenatchee).   :chuckle:

I am truly surprised that no one has begun to poison these wolves off....
