Wolf Pups in Northern California
« on: August 21, 2015, 08:43:40 AM »
Photo Shows Wolf Pups in Northern California

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has photographic evidence of five gray wolf pups and two adults in Northern California.
After trail cameras recorded a lone canid in May and July, CDFW deployed additional cameras, one of which took multiple photos showing five pups, which appear to be a few months old and others showing individual adults. Because of the proximity to the original camera locations, it is likely the adult previously photographed in May and July is associated with the group of pups.

“This news is exciting for California,” said Charlton H. Bonham, CDFW Director. “We knew wolves would eventually return home to the state and it appears now is the time.”

CDFW has designated this group (comprised of two adults and five pups) the Shasta Pack.

Come on in, the water's fine!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Does anyone else find it odd that in a state the size of California and has not had wolves for ever, JUST HAPPENED to have a camera set up right where these wolves would stop play? same thing seems to happen here also.

Wonder who's livestock they been eating on? Wolves don't get confirmed just for the heck of it.

You know that was my thought right away also. Even just northern Cali, is pretty big. So how did they know where to place a camera to just so happens we have a pic of playing pups? b  :dunno:
   Do you think that the all of the Wolves in this state that they will admit to, came down from Canada? Maybe a very small percentage but not the numbers we have. Sometime, somehow some were brought here. IMO   :twocents:


Not my words, but this pretty much somes it up.

Yes Wolf bait is  :tinfoil: There is NO reason to be skeptical that wolves have been transplanted!

No need to transplant in CA.  Once those dogs were in S Oregon, it would be super easy to expand down into CA.  It is pretty good habitat and a lot of rugged, wild country.  I'd suspect the folks in N CA will handle things like E WA/OR and ID residents have been.

I doubt the placement of the camera was an accident.  Wolves are no good at hiding and (like EVERY other state that has them) I bet managers in California had reports and locations of the wolves this spring and set the cameras with that in mind.

I believe the biologists were studying fawn survival and kept coming across large tracks/crap.  They set out the camera in an effort to figure out if it was in fact a wolf  Several weeks later they got a picture of a black wolf walking down the road.

"Wolves are no good at hiding"

You might want to tell WDFW that, they can't seem to confirm any wolves until livestock are killed, or the wolves are reported hanging out in Carlton at a bus stop.
