 While up on the Colockum during elk rifle season this year, I met a licensed predator controller. He is licensed for Montana, Idaho, and Washington. He said in his opinion there are many wolves in Washington, and that their numbers are beyond managing already. He told me that the game department has no idea what their numbers are.---- Just telling you guys what I was told... thought I'd throw it out there....

We seen more tracks last night, on a different mountain. About 5 miles north and across a highway from the ones we seen the other. The tracks last night were HUGE!!! We spotted a small cougar too.

The afternoon before this pic was taken my uncle and I gutted a deer here. The next morning we both heard the wolves (2-3) barking and howling at each other. When I walked into this area I was amazed that the entire pile was gone. We were in the Huckleberry unit (121).

Had a smaller solid black wolf run across the trail in front of my hunting partner and I on the jackpot lake trail above packwood during early archery. Saw multiple wolf scat piles up there as well.

Crazy pack howling in 111 two straight nights during late deer.  I thought it was extremely cool yet unnerving at the same time.  The tone, duration, and loudness is truly impressive.  As neat as that was I still would prefer not to have them in WA., N. Idaho.
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

A friend claims to have seen a wolf in 342 during modern elk season.  Dude is notorious for telling a tall tale. While the possibility of him seeing a wolf exists, I don't buy his story.

big hole ,montana,elk hunting.. I sat down,looked to my left and there it was a wolf track. Fresh!
 we didn't see any elk that day. I came back to hunt 342 as I had a cow tag.The elk were not in their usual haunts.
I didn't see any wolf tracks as it's rocky ,but the air seemed well, different!
  This was the 1st year I didn't fill a cow tag,and no elk were sighted in 8 days,heard them but no visuals..We split up many times and wore the boots into some of the deep canyons. Just tracks that were leaving the area. :dunno:

I saw a pack of 7 up the Cowiche. They were wearing sombreros and howling out mariachi music. I think they were Mexican Wolves..

The elk packed up their bugles and went home as they new they were being out played.

This morning i went to check a cam i set in 117 in july.  On the way found 2 separate sets of coug tracks, then when i got near the cam tracks from a pair of wolves   they missed my cam by 70 yards or so.   :bash:  weird thing was, after 5 months, nothing but whitetail and elk, not even one single bear!!!  Wtf????  Coug, wolf, and a few yote and bob tracks on the way in, but still i get the first ever tcam set without one single predator pic????  I dont understand.
