"Wolves of Northeastern Washington"

[jdurham]

I live 10 miles south of Newport right on the WA/ID border.  Wolf tracks and wolves have been seen here for the last 3 years.  About a month ago I was taking the back road into my place and found 3 sets of wolf tracks apparently following a small herd of elk.  No doubt on the prints, they were as large as some of the elk prints and larger than most.  How many are here?  Certainly more than we need or want!

I too am from this general area, and am very nervous about the toll from this winter.  Seems that there was way too many sightings in the low country where the elk hole up in December-Feb.  Kill them!  Kill them all!

What reports are you mentioning?  Did you report wolf activity to the WDFW?  The new bio II over in colville would probably investigate a sighting if you had some evidence...tracks, scat, hair, kill... ?  I have not heard of too many wolf reports this winter.  The Diamond Pack has been hanging out in the normal haunts, I heard about a set of tracks just south of Newport, in a nasty canyon that hold lots of winter deer.

Ya, I heard about a little just south of Newport too, but most of my experience and sources are on the Idaho side.  ( Boundary County )

I've heard several people mention a pack that has supposedly frequented the chain lakes area.

My hunting partner and I saw one this last year on Mica Peak. Now I don't know if it was a hybrid or not, but it was definetaly not a yote.

I've tried howling there without success.  They might be moving through, but I doubt they're spending too much time there.  they are no good at hiding and will announce themselves pretty quick.
