Saw a bunch at Wolfhaven down south with the inlaws, they just couldn't understand why I wasn't all warm and fuzzy. |

A friend of mine saw one in the blues a couple years back, no doubt in his mind. I am glad I haven't seen one yet. |

I highly doubt washington will be getting 10 wolf tags we'll be lucky enough to get to hunt them here in idaho within the next 4 years and maybe 8 if obama stays in office |

Ya got me curious so I did a google search. Not sure how many folks have seen this article before but I thought I would post it here since it pertains directly to the subject. This was in July of last year (08) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ten years after launching their first wilderness survey with a remote camera, Conservation Northwest captured images of six wolf pups and a collared adult on Monday. Two collared adults from the central Washington wolf pack–the "Lookout Pack"–were confirmed as 100% wolf by DNA testing by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Lookout Pack of the Methow Valley is the first wolf pack in Washington since the 1930s. Genetically they are related to wolves from BC or Alberta, and made their way to Washington from there. In a study from Oregon State University on the Olympic National Park, wolves were found to help riparian ecosystems by controlling populations of elk that eat young trees that stabilize stream banks. Oregon also recently reported its first wolf pack since the predator was wiped out by bounty hunting a century ago. The discovery of a wolf pack in north-central Washington comes soon after the decision by a federal judge to restore protection for wolves in the Northern Rockies, including the eastern third of Washington State, until a judge makes a final ruling in the case. To plan for the return of wolves to Washington, the Department of Fish and Wildlife has assembled a group of stakeholders including Conservation Northwest to create a state conservation and management plan for wolves. |

I saw in the flesh, living and breathing 22 wolves in Pullman, Wa in 1996. They were all in our large predator enclosure waiting to be let loose in Idaho and Montana.....man if I only knew then what I know now..... |
