2 wolves spotted on trail camera in SW Washington
« on: July 22, 2013, 11:27:24 AM »
Went to check trail cameras in SW Washington towards the coast for September early season elk. Got some great bulls on camera and as we are flipping through the pictures we see these guys. Keep in mind this is behind locked gates with no access unless bike or hike in. Closest house is around 5 miles away with nothin but steep canyons and timber, and across a main highway. What do you guys think? Wolves?

Initially looks like a wolf, especially the one in the back but the one in the front I am not sure about. Wouldn't surprise me though! My logical side leads me to think they are dogs though.

My vote for dog, I was always under the impression that a curled tail (as pictures by the lighter) is dog. Wolves tails are straight and bushy, with no curl at all.  :dunno:

Dogs.

in the first pic it looks like there is 3, the black one looks like a dog but maybe its a younger wolf. either way they are deer chasers and need some lead, besides there aint no wolves here they are wild dogs and there you can blast away  :tup:  :twocents:  :chuckle:
