Damn, I knew it.   >:(  This was taken at our place in Idaho only 350 yards from our cabin.

Not to start another "I saw" thread or to jack this one but I had a couple truck drivers of our making drops up near the Mt. Rainier Park and they swear they saw two. These guys are not idiots and know the difference. They told me where they were so I think I will go up and see if I can see any tracks in the morning...

I have a feeling they are right as a couple of loggers in the area are saying the same thing.

No, it's not a surprise that wolves are in Idaho  :P  It's disturbing that this was only 350 yards from our cabin.  Never seen evidence of them getting this close although we've seen a ton of tracks over the past winters many, many miles from here while snowmobiling.   

What unit in Idaho was the pic taken?

Between Bovill and Clarkia.

Other than the fact it is a wolf in Idaho, nice catch on the trail cam.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Thanks for the area - I was just curious.  I spent a lot of time hunting north of Clarkia on the St Joe drainage this last year.  I won't be going back there this year, because all I saw was evidence of these guys.

Where buy the park? Hwy 12 or 410.?

whacker1, our neighbor out there is a logger and he has seen lots of wolf sign north of Clarkia.  We snowmobile up near Elk Butte and Helmlock Butte and was saddened by the large amount of wolf sign and no other wildlife, even rabbit.  We would see moose tracks up there in the winter but not so much this year.   :dunno:
 :jacked:  my own thread.   :chuckle:
