Wolf with a collar on camera at Evans creek today

[Jpmiller]

I knew of a couple people in that area that had wolves for "pets". Rumor has it they released them.

That's what I was trying to remember. It was like fifteen years ago someone up there got in trouble for having pet wolves and I always heard there were more folks back there with them. Be they from that stock or wolves moving into the area on their own I'm not surprised.

Something just looks off to me... idk I feel like if you were that close you wouldn’t have to question a very large gps/tile collar with a larger battery pack for a regular collar. I also notice that his back/rump is really flat like an overfed pet? Idk could be a wolf just fishy

I agree. It looks a lot like a wolf and the collar is weird, but he sure is fed well. How about this one.

Looks like a dog collar, also I believe “and may be incorrect “ that the tracking collars are usually just a plain, leather colored, wide collar

That’s what it was was. Plain leather collar with a big box on it. That’s what we saw.

To many people in them woods around there with guns it won't last.

WDFW is living up to their name, Washington Department of Friendly Wolves.

I wouldn't be surprised if your states game department is running an undercover operation similar to what is happening over in China with the Panda's.

Maybe the state is bottle feeding pups with the help of CNW and other wolf hugger organizations.

By the pics sure does look chubby maybe there's a bowl with dog food around there.

Can you link to that? I dig through it and never found anything that stated WDFW affirmed this was a wolf.

I’ve heard rumors of people dumping their wolf type dogs up there due to biting or killing other pets... sure is an easy area to drive up to and do such a thing. I don’t think it’s a true wolf probably was someone’s pet that got a little too wild on them. Too much woods for it to keep staying near where it knows there are people/ rig noises.

For clarification. An unnamed game warden at a coffee stand said they know about this animal up there. Nobody actually “confirmed” it was a wild wolf. The warden was apparently wanting to talk to the guys who video’d the animal. Nobody from WDFW who would or should be “confirming” the animal is a wild wolf has confirmed. And nobody who would or should be confirming the possible wolf knows who talked to the guy.
