I expected to see a lot more new wolf sightings since modern firearm season was open. Wondering where they are at?

I saw one in my neck of the woods but was not able to get pics and was not willing to dive into that section of satan's home to try to find the tracks.
Well, you know there were a lot of reports in the Methow of wolves spotted during deer season. The hunters are just not reporting them to the WDFW because they have figured out it falls on deaf ears. Some reports of the 3 S's so those reports must die fast but several reports of clearly 6 wolves in the Lookout Pack for sure. We knew there were 2 pups last year and the two adults but assumed the 3 new pups this year brought it to 7. It appears maybe one pup is deceased since there are only 6 seen together at one time.
That's the new " Pipestone pack"! Lol!!! Maybe Cougartail knows more?
Wrong Cougar Lake. Since I was brought into the conversation I thought you were talking about the Cougar Lake up by Bumping Lake. (A popular "I saw a wolf!" area close to Yakima.)I hear it all the time from hunters down here (south cascades) that they have seen/heard wolves. This speaks to the fact many hunters have no clue what a wolf looks like, sounds like, or tracks are.I trust photos and even up north they are not as abundant as you people are infering. WDFW sets cameras and does aerial surveys often with no results for the season.....and yes I've hunted off of SR 153 and drove the North Cascade Highway numberous times. I prefer to hunt up the White River and Chiwawa river drainages with you "Mountain men" .
