How many pups does a breeding pair have a year?
Is there not a few just outside of Wenatchee? Pitcher canyon area?
According to WDF&wolves, from 2016 to 2017 WA's wolf population grew by 7 wolves...AgWatch | Wolfpacks grow, but sticking close to home"The state Department of Fish and Wildlife say the state’s wolf population climbed from 115 in 2016 to 122 in 2017, but they’re concentrated in the Ferry, Okanogan, Pend Oreille and Stevens counties in northeast part of the state rather than spreading out. According to a report in the March 30 Capital Press, that’s a problem.” https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2018/mar/24/agwatch-wolfpacks-grow-but-sticking-close-to-home/
Time to thin out the ones without collars.
Just sickening the waste of money and waste of our wildlife resources, our treasured moose herd is being turned into wolf scat.

Something is really stinking here and has been since they became the WDFW. We really do need a Fish and Game dept. to take care of our FISH AND GAME...

Yep, looking back to what we have now, WDFW is just another fake environmental group.We watched some home movies of the 50's in the Methow this weekend, ranchers feeding deer in the winter, herds of spring deer, 300 plus in the alfalfa fields. Back then it was the "game department" now thanks to the corrupt WDFW with their protection of predators and massive tag output those days are over.Washington's wolf population surge slows, worrying advocateshttps://pilotonline.com/business/jobs/article_8a4e6ddb-b6b6-5758-b4f6-128b73adc554.html
Interesting names show up Wolfbait.Ben Maletzke was at one time working with WSU as the large carnivore research Bio. in around 2010. Now he's a specialist for the WDFW.

Now he's a specialist for the WDFW.I think it was in 2011 that WSU, CNW and WDFW were doing a study as to the impact of wolves on the mule deer in the Methow, they were walking through wolf killed deer to net and collar deer. A friend and I talk to them, they said there was only two or three wolves in the lookout pack, and we showed them pictures of eight different wolves we had seen in the last two weeks. That was the same time that CNW said that fitkin knew of the other wolf pack up in Bridge Cr, but that it was to expensive to confirm. I don't think we ever heard what the study said, but that winter the wolves were slaughtering the hell out of deer form Mazama to Black Canyon, we know as we hike into many kills, along with some cougar kills that wolves drove the cougars off of.Now here we are seven years later, in the same spot with WDFW etc. continuing to lie to the people of WA.

I would have guessed that you would share your wolf pics with this group, if you had any...
We showed this photo to several people who know wolves, they thought wolf hybrid, maybe coyote/wolf, at any rate it wasn't afraid of us and stood off about fifty yards. This was taken just below the first photo of the big wolf.
