“Just like the bears. They make good rugs,”  - that's a great quote.

I believe a member on here has had numerous pictures of a black wolf on his cameras for the past couple of years. I think Skagitsteel is his handle.

I've seen them in Sedro 15 years ago. NWWABOWHUNTER posted pics here of a pack on the nooksack river and yes I believe SkagitSteel posted some as well.

I wonder how long it will take for them to confirm a pack

I hope they start showing up in Seattle and Olympia 😊 Especially one attached to a liberals arse !!!

I think skagitsteel said he showed his pictures to wdfw. They told them to get back to them if he got 2 or more in the same picture. I think that's how that went. Maybe he could chime in here soon.

Hhhhmmmmm Tenaway pack is not the closet one, the Methow wolves are way closer.

Plenty of single wolves in Whatcom and Skagit county.  Both Skagitsteel and Timber have photos on their trail cams.  Only black wolf I've seen was in Whatcom County though.  This could very well be the Whatcom County one that was caught multiple times on camera last November.

Southpole is correct, WDFW is aware of all of these wolves and has said that all they need is photo or video with multiple wolves on camera to count it as a pack.

I've always been under the impression that in order for a pack to be officially called a pack, there has to be pups indicating breeding.

So was I, but that's not what the above referenced individuals have been told.

Packs are 2 or more wolves that the state recognizes as unique group of animals.

Breeding pairs are packs that have pups and are the only packs that matter when it comes to delisting wolves.

So in this state we have 20 packs but only 10 breeding pairs. We need 4 breeding pairs in each recovery area plus 3 breeding pairs anywhere in the state for 3 years to meet the delisting requirement.

Hopefully I can draw my nooksack bull tag soon.
