We have a home here.

It's great to see the elk around here now, unfortunately if these wolves set up camp here the elk will disappear I am afraid.

We get a local free lift out of the elk droppings, just part of living with the wildlife.

Tumble Creek is a beautiful course and I really enjoyed being able to get up there a couple of times. I even got to bum around up there while it was being built.

I haven't followed the situation there for a while, but I hope the Tumble Creek owners have fared better than some I have talked to from other parts of Suncadia......

If the Teanaway Pack ranges that far south, it makes me wonder about whether they have crossed I-90. That would be the first time a pack with collared animals have crossed the freeway into the Southern Zone.

Which side are you on if neither will claim you?

I saw a wolf at 20 yards in the Winston unit the season before last. Not hard to believe at all.

Like all corners off the economy some faired well and others not so much. We had a fair number of folks that didn't make it through the downturn.  Values are half what they were before the recession.

Things are getting settled now, values are stable and increasing some.

Oh GREAT!  First they take over our hunting grounds, now they claimed our golf courses!!!  CRAP!!!  What's next- our NASCAR tracks?!?!?!?   :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

I would keep that track in the 'possible' category too.  It's possible, but pretty likely a dog too.

It became more likely last Sunday when the neighbor saw it, they said they reported it to WDFW.

I'd be putting out a trail camera with some bait, and try to get a picture of it.

And stuff the doggy treat with an explosive or better yet a virus that it will take back to the pack and destroy them!!!  :tup:

spent alot of time in the Teanaway area and they are there.  not very far away.  Deer population is gone to hell up there from 4 years ago.  nothing has changed but the wolf population up there.  shows what a wolf pack can do the the deer numbers.

Have a place in teanaway and its old news that the wolves are running around there.... The majority of them have been spotted on the north fork of the Teanaway... Where the guy from Owens Meats in Cle Elum has a place... Talked to him about it not to long ago... They are probably to Easton by now anything is possible

I have already reported multiple times seeing wolf tracks in cabin creek 4 or 5 years ago. Not dogs, nor coyotes. I followed these a couple sets of tracks for miles in the snow.
