Great idea Jackelope. I have wondered the same thing. I spend a LOT of time in the Blues and have NEVER seen one. I am not calling anyone that claims they have a liar or anything...I just have personally never encountered one.

I have always wondered though, with all the folks that say they have heard one, found tracks, kills, etc why haven't we seen any pics of one alive? Whether they be personal cameras or trailcams. After all, there are a LOT of trail cams out there...I would think that sooner or later SOMEONE would capture one on film. Heck, I'd take a pic of one that has been tendered roadkill for that matter. (Again, not accusing folks of embellishing or flat out lying...I was just wondering aloud)


(I do know for a fact that there was one captured on a trailcam N of Spokane a couple years ago. There was an article in the Spokesman Review on it and it included the pic)

i am not insinuating in any way there are no wolves here. in fact if you can talk to the right people at wdfw they will tell you where they are for sure. until they establish territories and start breeding, they do not consider them resident wolf populations, and once they do establish territories they are easy to keep track of.
i swear we heard them howling 2 springs ago when we were turkey hunting north of spokane...but we didn't see them or see any tracks.

i have personally seen one in the blues last year. also im not giving out an area its already been reported to the game biologists here...
Jerome:
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.
