Washington Wolf Population

[WAcoyotehunter]

I don't think anyone knows the answer, but it's worth it to know what peoples general feel for the population is.  I think 31-50 statewide.

Good question- I'm not sure how many the WDFW has confirmed?  It's also likely that the same animal gets confirmed twice...

[hogsniper]

I imagine the pop. probably varies alot along the boarders!!! From canada and also the ones coming from idaho...But I would say their are alot if the wdfw is confirming they are here!!!

Took a guess....

[TeacherMan]

I picked 100-200, total guess, but there is a lot of wild remote country that you just cant patrol or know everything about.

I've never seen or herd one in this state.

WAG.... 20 breeding pairs + some others.   WhoTF knows though  ?

[Dmanmastertracker]

 You should have clarified breeding pairs vs. transients, lot more transient visitor's -and no one really knows exactly how many, but quite a few. Take a grain of salt with the DFW reports.

took a WAG

A friend of mine lives in the Okanogan.  He says that he will run into them everyonce in a while.  They are not an issue yet, but he is keeping an eye on it.

 The other day in the local paper, I read that IDFW says there are 800+ wolves in Idaho!
