Lake Chelan Wolves

[boneaddict]

I think with a little help from some oldtimers and permission from the WDFW, I could probably trap one of each of these wolves and they could DNA them if they want.  Seriously, whats sacrificing one animal for the good of the general population.  Japanese get away with it with whales.......shouldn't we be able to do it with wolves.     I'd love some grant money too, to offset time from work and gas of course.  I mena, we are paying these guys to do this sort of thing right and all they have confirmed are TWO packs in Washington.  You have got to be kidding me.

There are wolves in the Teanaway/Manastash

Bone,
Are there wolves in both areas that you have seen? Did you mean to say Taneum? If not then there would be 2 different "packs" because of the freeway. Could you fill me in a little via pm about the Teanaway, I think I may know where it hangs in the summer. I could have swore I saw one last year, but it was for all of 5 seconds and I just shrugged it off as a giant coyote. I would love to get the cameras out and try to get some on film!!

I've seen sign in both and know of trailcam pics in one.  I haven't put enough time in either to declare the wolves there as in a pack of them, or breeding group of them.  YES, it would be two different packs if indeed they were packs.  All sign I have seen has been of individuals and the same with the trailcam pics I have seen.   Trying to keep it real and not exagerrate.  There are wolves in both of those places.  To what extent, I haven't proven it yet.  I am stating facts as I KNOW them, not any heresay.

Did you see them thru your scope?

To add to the statewide list of packs:

Southern Stevens County, Unit 117, wolves took down a bull elk this winter that was found by several individuals, numerous different wolf tracks, too many to determine the exact number of wolves in the pack. The state should know all about this incident, but it has not been confirmed by the state for some reason.

Northern Stevens County, Unit 105, wolf has been killed here before by wildlife services that killed ranchers calf. Other wolves have been spotted in the same region and this year at least 3 wolf pups were sighted by numerous different people.

Southern Stevens County, Unit 121, numerous wolves spotted by many residents including a deputy sherrif.

Northern Stevens County, Unit 111, several wolves sighted by local residents who have lived here for years and never seen wolves before. (they have seen coyotes many times before). Last month a local resident saw 3 wolves by her house, next day her german sheperd came up missing and has not been seen since. Been on the radio as missing all week, no sightings by other residents.

Adding to your count Bone, there is a pack in the Buzzard Lake country and another up around Brown Meadows.

[boneaddict]

Pretty sure there is one running Polepeck, South summit, Benson/FInley as well but I haven't proven it.  Could be your Buzzard ones I guess. 

I mean seriously Sky, as frustration with their acute lack of ability or just plain lies, more an dmore will result to that.  I mean do they need them hung on a sign post off the highway in order to DNA and confirm.

The amount of wolves on that Idaho/Wa Leclerc creek basin WOULD SCARE YOU.    It was bad back in 02, but NOW ITS SCARY

Unfortunately there is NO motivation by those in the WDFW that want wolves to confirm wolves in Washington.  In my opinion there goal is to ignore as long as possible to make sure that there are copious numbers of wolves before they are forced into any management of them.

We will continue to be fed Pelosi about the wolves until people are able to force the WDFW to confirm each and every pack.

I have been trailCamera full time in Tenannaway for almost four years even two trailcamera with motion camera out there. No sight of wolves. But Possible anytime Now. I am going to move little NORTH! where High Country keep all Herds upper. Might will be interesting.  Hopefully gate road is cleared from Snow. Heard it still 14 inches. Cant wait till its clear so I can open gate and go upper HIGH!

There is several trail cam pictures/video of wildlife posted on youtube.com,  yet to see a wolf on them though.

[boneaddict]

MOre likely to pick them up a bit south across the hiway/freeway, except thats closed now for Sheddin season.  May 1st they ought to be filling up on elk calves.

Snowing will hit this week possible around over eastern Wa. It Would be COOL if more people out there would travel Lake Chelan North area to find what is TRUTH!  I wish I could afford 70 dollar on trip to find track if its WOLVES or not. Dang Big Mountain to cover all couldnt do alone!
