Mitch Friedman from conservation NW can send one of his brave range riders over there to protect the local citizens

They have been cruising the valley bottom and low hills out of Chewelah for years...and you can sure hear them at night.

I remember they got that dog on sand canyon road a few years back, wasn't it inside city limits?  Wasn't very far up that road.

They ran a video feed this evening on KHQ6.

I think it was on burnt valley rd. The one that had some news report anyways, There may have been others. It was probably about 1/2 mile as the crow flies from the school/city park.

What I thought was good about the news story tonite
Was how she said there has been a absent of other wildlife now that wolves have moved in .Sometimes people got to hear from the horse's mouth before they will take it to heart.

Here I will try link.

Quote from artical
"I've hiked this property next door for 19 years and have had encounters with cougars, with bears and never had a problem. But a pack of wolves really scares me, and I also have encountered the carcasses they leave behind. We don't see wildlife anymore. I haven't' seen one bear on my hikes this year. I've seen bears every year! And I don't see deer tracks anymore either, "explained Micki.

Micki's worried that the wolves are wiping out all the wildlife that she is generally used to seeing and Micki believes that once they run out of wildlife people could be next. Over the last several days and weeks wolf sightings have been on the rise in Stevens County.

Its sad when it has come to this

I have a couple combine cabs that would make great bus stop shelters, a step above the New Mexico style.  Wolfbait's old article may have some local importance. Yes, our dogs are a bigger problem, cats have a history but wolves are about, a little prevention is not a bad thing.

Wont be a grouse or squirrel left in that country if they don't get a handle on those wolfs.
