Awesome, I saw a video of one fighting a bear on some documentary we had to watch in school. Those things are ferocious would love to see one in the wild... From a little distance that is.

The USFS was collaring them in the Methow a few years ago.  There are more out there then most people realize! And they do travel farther then the researchers understood, too!!

I saw a wolverine on Boulder Pass out of Curlew one day in my chip truck. The WDFW denied it was one, as usual. Talked to a couple of fellas that had seen them in the same area. Been here for years. I don't believe anything that comes out of the WDFW mouths.
We don't have that $100,000 collage degree so we don't know crap.

Grammar Nazi. What if he actually meant a collage of $100,000?

You really should consider ALL the options before you rush to judgment.  :chuckle:

Sorry for the derail, back on topic. Super cool animals, I'd love to see a few more around, and would really enjoy watching one do whatever wolverines do in the mountains when no ones looking. Chase stuff, maul stuff, eat stuff, scare stuff?

I saw a picture of the wolverine that was found dead just out of north bend a few weeks ago. Looked like a full size adult.

This makes my day!  I completely agree.  I believe they mostly eat kills of other animals.  Marty Stouffer on Wild America had video of them chasing away wolves and grizzlies from kills the bigger predators had made.

I also think that's their deal, although I'm sure they have no problem taking down an average size deer if they get the opportunity.

“The WDFW denied it was one, as usual...”

I find it very hard to believe a wildlife biologist would “deny” any possible wolverine sighting. I saw one 6 years ago while backcountry skiing and the biologist I talked to went out the next day with cameras and bait

It looks like it
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.
