Are they there now? Unlikely. Were wolves ever there? Yes. Is there a food source for them? Yes. Do people want them there? Some do. https://olympicparkadvocates.org/returning-wolves-to-the-olympics/ |

All due respects, the wolves that live in WA now never existed in the Olympics. The current breed of Canadian Grey Wolf are about 20%+ larger than the likely-extinct wolves that used to live here. If any of the indigenous breed had survived beyond 1996, their larger Canadian cousin probably killed the remaining ones since introduction. Thse who support the introduction of the Canadian breed wither knowingly or ignorantly support wildlife engineering, not conservation, much like the morons who introduced the mountain goats back in the 1920s. We know how that turned out. It's past time to manage existing packs, not create new ones. Unfortunately though, I doubt we'll ever see management regardless of their numbers, distribution, or effect on other wildlife populations or human interests. Wolves are being used as a tool by disingenuous people and groups. |

My guess at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see them anywhere in Washington state, except downtown Olympia which actually might be a good place to release a couple. |

Public comment is our enemy because the commie never sleeps! Anyone out there seen a Native wolf in the wild Pre introduction? I did in the 4 corners/ Swift Creek area of the Colockum in 1989. Quite the surprise as it was hiding in a tree well and let me within about 7 feet before bolting about 150 yards from our camp. Kind of curious if his downline still exists. |
