Been stories of a few here outside of Granite Falls, from credible folks including 1 LEO I know. 2 black ones on Green Mountain a few years ago from what I understand. I moved out here 10 years ago and used to see deer regularly, not so much anymore

One gal I know swears she saw one while hiking up on the Mountain Loop Hwy.
There's wolves in the darrington area as well
I'm sure I heard a pack of wolves out by the lake chaplain area near Monroe today.
Notice more and more of the NFS roads are shut down and not to be repaired in this neck of the woods?
Coincidence??? I really wonder if it is so no one can see what is running around in the hills around here.
Interesting. I know the Forest Service has no plans on fixing and opening up the 41 road off the Mountain Loop Hwy, up Green Mt. past the 8 mile mark. There's a lot of road left past 8 miles, and access to Tupso Pass and Three Fingers trails. Some good area too
