Unit 113 Woodland Caribou ( Wolf Kills )

[CAMPMEAT]

This is for the people that live near that unit, or, who actually knows anything about it and not a bunch of know-it-all answers.

Has anyone ever heard of the wolves killing any of the Woodland Caribou ? Since they're on the endangered list, you'd think we'd hear something about them also and not just the elk.

As far as I know Campmeat, there are no more woodlands there.   I haven't seen them in a couple years and ALL of the signs are down and the wolf signs are up.

That's kinda what I was thinking Bone. When I had chip trucks, I used to haul chips out of Riley Creek Idaho to Canada. If I remember correctly, they had signs about the caribou in the BC Customs Office at Nelway B.C. for whatever reason. That was about 6 years ago.

I had a friend last year show me a picture from the B.C. side of the border with a bull and two cows. I'm guessing that there might be some left. Interesting situation for F&W with two endangered species in the same area, at least on the Washington side. In this case, they are not going to save both! I think the Caribou are out weapon-ed in this battle.

I have not heard them being seen for several years, and not for many more than that by WDFW or IDFG.

I'll try to get more information and maybe even the picture as to the exact location and date. I'm sure it was the B.C. side of Washington in Fall of 2012.

But the wolves arent endangered in n.e. wa. or Idaho or B.C.

This is the current status listing that I found

It certainly is questionable why nothing has ever been heard about the caribou and the wolf, if there were any conflicts of any sort.

I'm gonna call Dana Base, the WDFW biologist in Colville on Monday and see what kind of answer he gives me. I let you guys know what he says.

Dale, have you heard anything about the caribou lately ?

Darn Camp..........now hes got a head start on his answer.....

He was showed wolf track pictures i took from about 4 years ago and he could of cared less about them. The start of lies from the WDFW over here.

There are still woodland caribou pamphlets up at bunchgrass meadows. That's the only place I have seen them though!

I believe the Woodland Caribou were brought up in the Okanogan wolf meeting, and a smug bio said that some of them would be eaten.  WDFW promote wolves above all wildlife.
