There's absolutely no doubt that there's wolves south of I-90 and have been for many years. Pretty crazy how they've gotten away with this for so long. I did appreciate Linville's comments at the commission meeting the other day though.
From the NW Sportsman Mag article last week:
“If wolf recovery is the goal, this looks like wolf recovery to me,” said Commissioner Linville.
“This is definitely progress,” said Commissioner Barbara Baker, who also acknowledged that 2011’s statewide management plan was “getting a bit long in the tooth.”
I've seen wolves in Cowichie as early as 1996 hunting with my dad... They weren't the big long legged Canadian wolves, (grey)... They were shorter, biggest ones probably 80#... All solid colors... Some with white triangles on their chest... Seen them here and there in those areas till the ealy 2010's... Last year seen big piles of wolf crap... Don't think the smaller one's made made it... They were the native wolves...
