Are you laughing at me or With me?
that encounter with USFS wasn't even that bad. About 3-4 years back my cousin and I were hunting up by Metaline Falls. We both were rifle deer hunting. We both had hiked in about 3 miles on a closed road. as the sun came up we saw group of mulie does feeding out in the open so we sat and watched hoping there was a buck nearby. We weren't in the area to long when a pack of wolves started howling right below the deer and scattering them off of course. We've heard coyotes before and these weren't coyotes right away we could tell they were wolves because if they were coyotes they would be the only coyote who's balls have dropped. It was like someone putting a recording of a pack wolves howling on loud speakers. We don't think they weren't more the 100yds below us but we couldn't see them because they were beyond the clearing in the brush and slope of the mountain. We tried to get into better positions to have a better look but we just couldn't see them. They howled for maybe 30min and from the howling we both think there had to be at least 4 or 5. We continued hunting and we ran into a local and told him what happened and he told us the day before he had seen six run across the face of the mountain that we were on. When we got back to camp we ran into the forest service lady doing her rounds checking camp sites and handing out brochures. We told her what happen only to have her laugh at us. She said that Washington doesn't have wolves and that they were only in Idaho and wouldn't cross over. She told us that what we encountered were just coyotes. Then she decided that since we were idiots she should describe what a deer, elk, and caribou looked like to us so we wouldn't shoot the wrong animal. By putting her hand up to her head making shapes of antlers with her hands and fingers
. I've told WDFW about it but its the same thing nope those were coyotes.
