I don't trust the numbers...but it's DFW generated so that's not a surprise...
Kudos to the Colville for stacking em up :tup:

WDFW didn’t include wolves,alive or dead, on tribal lands, in their counts. Until the Colvilles started killing them a couple years ago. Now their numbers are included in the statistics to try to show a down ward population trend. Data tweaking.

Weird, you would think “more packs” would equal more pups which would equal more wolves?

Like some say, “skewed math”. :dunno:

It doesn’t make sense, folks I know are seeing more wolves and a lot more sign in the last couple years than they’ve ever seen!

They’ll always lie about the count so they don’t get delisted. Or they’ll wait till they totally outlaw predator hunting in the state to delist them.

I didn’t see the Smackout pack listed. They must have forgotten about them. Unless they are counting them as leadpoint. I have no trust in the numbers
Just one more day
