Wolves in north bend could benefit the hunting. The elk would take cover in the hills where they are less vulnerable and we can hunt them 😀 rather than in the fields more exposed to predators.

That's not the trend that the elk and deer have been following. They've been coming into the towns to get away from the wolves up in the hills.

Turn the volume up!!!

That's from outer Duvall a few weeks ago. Also got word of a black and a gray wolf  seen in a pasture in the same general area a couple days ago.

Yeah sorry. I edited with a comment to turn up the volume.

Can't for people to blame wolves for this.   :bash:

Possible coyote sighting, Kirkland.

Quote
While Steve Wilkes normally feels safe in his neighborhood, he’s still shaken after witnessing what looked like a coyote jump his fence and take off with his 9-month old puppy named Rogue.

“I saw all black across the top, hit the top of the fence which is about 5 feet there and down the other side,” said Wilkes. “I came through here pretty fast yelling after the dog and came through the neighbor’s yard here, and I was following the sounds of our dog.”

Still in shock about what happened to Rogue, Wilkes sent out an e-mail to warn the neighborhood.

“It is very concerning to know there could be something very predatory out here that we all have to be care of,” said Wilkes.

Neighbor Wendy Macomber also saw the creature.

“I saw it; the thing stopped, it turned and it had bright yellow eyes, definitely dark at the top and that much taller with ears straight up,” said Macomber.

On the TV news report, the owner referred to the predator as "husky."   I thought it possible that it could be a wolf, given the proximity to other recent sightings in North Bend (and on I-90 was it?).

But don't expect such interactions to increase support for delisting of wolves or increasing support for predator hunting.  The option most likely to gain favor is to relocate them to your backyard.

I just happened on to this thread and thought I would add that I heard of a wolf  spotted crossing hwy 9 up in skagit county sometime this summer. The people didn't realize what they were looking at till later on they thought it was a really big dog but it had a odd looking collar. Not sure of the time line though.
I saw 4 wolves hunting the elk just nort of sedro 10 years ago. My mother and wife saw one on the lake cavanaugh rd last year.

Those are pretty good shots. To bad for your area. Have you seen more of a decrease in deer or elk?

unfortunately both are in deer spots, one area about half the does and fawns disappeared over the winter, the bucks seemed to be pretty close to normal, I blamed it on a weird weather year until I had a wolf on cam :bash:  Only one pic in each area so hopefully no pack yet
