Wolf in Whatcom Co.

[steen]

Apparently there has been a wolf spotted in rural Whatcom Co. near Ferndale.  Friends of ours heard it howl from on his dairy farm.  I think the Game Wardens are on to it.  Suppose to be a lone wolf that was kicked out of the pack from the Cascades.  It's not a good place for a wolf to be. To many people and livestock.

What gives folks the impression that Wildlife is "on to it?"

I doubt Im the only one that has wolf howls on his e-caller............just sayin.  Plenty loud and real.....makes the hair stand on end............

 Maybe Deming, Kendal, Maple Falls, east Sumas...... but Ferndale? I think I'm with buckfvr. Electronics are fun to mess with people.

Why do people even report this stuff just do away with the big over grown coyote!!

Because I wouldn't if I didn't think it was true.  Our son works with the police dept. and is in the know on these things.

Steen,  There is not place in Washington that is a "good place for a wolf to be".    Even the rural areas on Okanogan county have people scattered around and cattlemen and all have pets and livestock that wolves like to kill.  Theres' just no place for a wolf here in this state that will work.  The West side of the state can handle wolves just as well as the east side.  The only  difference of the west side is that there are more people that will be complaining.  It appears that the urban dwellers have no sympathy for the rural folks and are willing to sacrafice the rural dwellers so they can hear their precious wolf howl maybe once in their lifetime.

I highly doubt that a wolf has made it to ferndale.  just to many city folk that see and hear coyotes.  And if it was plenty of county boys that would take care of it.

  People where I live would handle it also!

I agree that there is no good place for a wolf that is why I made the statement.  A lot of us on the Westside don't like them either, don't try putting me in the "urban dwellers" that have no sympathy category.

I have seen wolves on the outskirts of Sedro Wolley so it would not surprise me one Bit...

For a wolf to make it to Ferndale, (not coming across the border -from our Cascades), he/she/it would have so so many opportunities to take dairy cows, sheep, and such that for just the travel time, (a dog's gotta eat ya know), I can't believe that there wouldn't be at least ten complaints of domestic animal attack. Any give time of year in a dairy county, there's calves available. There's sheep... There's no way there's a wild wolf in Ferndale.

lmao I heard the same thing around Spokane 4 yrs ago, no wolf would be around Spokane, its just wheat fields south of town and hay fields and houses a little north! oh wait one was hit and confirmed just east of Spokane a few miles down by all the houses? I heard a pack was confirmed eating sheep out by long lake? you guys need to realize these wolves are really moving and expanding where they go, so a wolf could go from Yakima to Olympia in a matter of a few days and back! not saying it is a wolf but get ready cause they are headed your way!
