who has seen a wolf in WA.

[TeacherMan]

I've never seen a wolf or even heard one or saw a track. My dad saw one in the Pasayten in the late 90's up past Iron Gate. No dout in his mind what it was. He said it was on a deer trail on the opposite ridge from him and he watched it for a good 20 seconds. My dad knows wildlife and predators, grew up trapping in MT and WA. He didn't report it, don't know why.

No for Washington, but 2 years ago in 10A in Idaho, 2 walked by us at 40 yards on the game trail below.  They went out of sight a couple minutes later one reappeared out front on point on me standing there for at least a minute while the other flanked us from the side, then they realized we werent elk, and disappeared.  Talk about eerie, with only a bow in hand it felt like *censored* was about to go western!!!!

My wife and I saw the wolf that was hit and confirmed by Davenport, about a month before it died.  Reported it, there wasn't much interest until it was found dead and confirmed wolf; then WDFW was eager for a full report.

I have seen two.

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.....

 ...thatd be really cool to see but i agree with your statement.

I have seen one myself in northeastern wa.I also know for a fact the game department has pics in the same area.Talked to a game biologist three years ago during lateseason.He said they figured there was 10 to 15 inb the area

[ThePascoKid]

I saw those same wolves in the cage by the bears in Pullman, used to go out there all the time and watch them eat road kill all the time I could have sworn I remember them saying those wolves would never be released into the wild because of their contact with humans.  To answer the question I have never seen a wolf in the wild, a friend saw 3 this past weekend, probably pretty close to where Firecrotch saw his.  They were chasing elk in the snow.  If this is true and I believe it is, it won't be long til I see them on our property in the Blues.

Dont know if this counts or not but 4 years or so ago turkey hunting out of Davenport i was walking through some timber and on the other side of a draw there was the biggest damn coyote i have ever saw.  I unloaded my turkey load at it and came up empty handed.  Never once did wolf come to mind until this year when i saw two wolves hit around the davenport area and sent to a lab in California.  So maybe it was a damn wolf.  If not it was a state record coyote.

The DNA report came back as hybrid dogs on those animals. 

I live and work in Pend Oreille County (ground zero for washington wolves) and have never seen one. 

[Machias]

I spend alot of time in Stevens and Pend Oreille on the back of my mule and hunting and have never heard one, seen a track or seen a wolf.

One thing, guys say I saw the biggest coyote ever, might have been a wolf.  The difference is so huge you won't mistake a wolf for a coyote, it would be like thinking a lab is a Great Dane or visa versa.

my old man and uncle swear they saw one in the late 90s up on lemansky mt. in the sinlahekin area.was on a rock ledge above them looking at them.they described it as large and almost black.said it gave them the hebegebes.I personally have never seen one in the wild.

You are half right.  One came back as a hybrid, the other was pure wolf of NW BC lineage. 

[Intruder]

Never seen 1 in WA or AK. 
Saw 1 in Alberta.
Heard em in the Joe.
Know someone who hit a wolf hybrid (supposedly verified by F/G) north of Davenport.  Probably the same 1 doublelung is talking about.

[boneaddict]

I've seen several From the Methow, Sanpoil, and Selkirks.  Ltos of *censored* and lots of tracks, and yes, I know what I am looking at.  First one was about in 1980 and there was a male and female with pups.  Last one(in Washington)  was this last spring, probably a young male on his own trailing me.  Icalled another one in in Mt on my elk hunt.
