I have been getting them on trail camera for a few years. This last check I had one with collar. Guess WDFW does know they are there.  Not just solo pics. full out packs!!! Stupid

Pics or it never happened

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I had a wolf pup walk up by me 3 years ago, couldn't believe it.  He was all by himself.

Never a good sign when your cams go from over 1000 elk pics a month to 50. And almost daily bear, cougar, wolf pic.

People are actually surprised there's wolves in the blues?  The blues are infested with the suckers and it's only getting worse, last elk season, I saw 20 times more wolf tracks than deer and elk tracks combined.  In an area that always holds game.

NE Or. has over 20 packs, 8 or 9 of which are close to the
border.

It is always amusing how the states little circles for packs stop at the state lines, political silliness at it's worst.  Not going to 'manage' a critter that may move 500 miles or more that way.  Stop spending money on them, give them the same status as a coyote, they will be fine.

The first wolves that I actually saw in the blues was in 2004. Out of Anatone.

I like the different shaped borders the wolves are in and with in the state lines and all stop before the border which proves they know bounderies and don't migrate.
With that many wolf packs and the 6,500 cougars they say they have how can any kind of animal.still.be alive in Oregon.

WTF ever happened to their first wolf management plan after the Lookout was pack was documented that after 18 breeding pairs were present, we could start a wolf harvest plan? We're well beyond 18 and anybody who would argue were not, might as well nestle comfortably between Inslee and Durkin.

Yea you add Oregons 3 packs that roam across the border to the WA map and you see that what “used” to be one of the State’s premier Elk Trophy spots is now hunted by no less than SIX packs!   25/7 - 365 .

The map represents most of WA, WDFW just refuse to confirm wolf packs etc..

I was really hoping some local justice would help keep them in check (check as in gone).
