White Pass Area Wolves
« on: October 10, 2016, 09:34:20 PM »
I spoke to several muzzleloader hunters a few days ago who were in a pack-in camp south of White Pass near the PCT  they told me they clearly heard wolves howling near their camp.   It seemed like their story was credible
And I think God must be a cowboy at heart
 He made wide open spaces from the start
 He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
 And trails to lead ol' cowboys home again

I know someone who saw a wolf up short and dirty in the summer of 2014 and talked to a guy up pine-grass who saw a radio collared wolf from his tree-stand on the opening day of late season 2013.

Did they say the collared was a grey female?  I know someone that mentioned seeing one with a Black male and several pups.  This person does tell the occasional "Fish tale", so I took it with a grain of salt.

In our camp, we have from anywhere form 20-25 cams out all summer and have never had one on cam.

The wolves are multiplying a lot more than everyone thinks and the elk numbers have dropped significantly. Better start heading to the southwest and southeast gmus if you want to see elk. Especially archery hunters, that's when the wolf activity is the greatest and it's not worth hunting elk there and then.

I wouldn't bank on the southeast corner much more. The wolf numbers are rapidly increasing there also

I'm not saying there are or are not wolves in the area.  But I remember talking to  couple of guys up high in the Cowiche during late archery elk season who were certain the tracks On the road (good snow for tracking) were wolves and that was why we weren't seeing the usually higher numbers of elk.
He wouldn't believe me when I told him those tracks had been made by dogs running alongside the truck that was towing his kids on sleds.


Of course when he started blaming all the problems he encountered in the woods on "the no good, toothless Mexicans and Indians) it was all I could do to not laugh in his face. Not only was he a racist, but he was also missing half of his front teeth!
