Confirming a pack and confirming a breeding pair are two different things, a breeding pair requires a pup or pups that survive through December 31st, a pack just requires proof of two or more wolves together in the same area for a verifiable
length of time. The length of time is decided by the WDFW. It does seem like they only confirm a wolf pack when they absolutely can't deny it any longer.

For everyone complaining about WDFW not investigating all reports or not immediately issuing a statement confirming a wolf pack based on a report, have you actually read the reports people send in? They're ridiculous. There a bunch from the Seattle suburbs, I mean like real city areas, where people are reporting seeing wolves. There's also a ton of reports from popular hiking areas where people report seeing "Giant tracks, at least 3" across", yeah that's called a German Shepard. WDFW can't trust the reports, not as stand alones, and there's no scientific way for them to differiciate between BoneAddicts reports and Barbie the soccer mom from Auburn. I fully believe that although WDFW isn't always doing the best job, they try damn hard to do the best, most scientifically defendable, financially viable, job with the resources they have. It's not like they aren't hunters and fisherman too.

Well said acorn!

Knew they were there but this far south(hwy 970) and in this number, looked to be about 10-12 wolves :yike:

One got hit by a car on 97 last year.

Saw it. I was shocked how big it was.
