Are these certainly wolves? My buddy's dog looks just like the one facing the camera

5-6 years ago a photographer took a good photo of one up Mud Creek, collared, supposedly a lone female on a walkabout. I found other sign I was confident was wolf in the area over the years. They are there, no doubt.

In 2006 there was a lone wolf up mud creek! I was 100 yards away from it during late archery deer permit.

The WDFW blobs are meaningless.  They know better, why bother?

Yeah, but what im suggesting is, if these 2 are far outside their stupid orange blobs, the pic can be used to pressure them into confirming another pack.


In theory anyway

Exactly. Can't deny photo evidence if it's well outside their documented ranges of other packs. So either these are two members of a new pack, or they aren't wolves. I wonder if a public disclosure request for GPS data for NCW wolf collars would be approved and cross reference that with the general vicinity of the south shore of the lake...

How high was the snow in the Domke Falls area

Getting up there.  Stayed at the falls and then hiked a little up prince creek drainage the next day.  Today in the Methow on the other side of sawtooth at 2500 feet north facing slopes with trees were patchy snow, and south facing slopes were dry.
