Me and a buddy saw one up on the Spirit Lake, ID side of IEP(which is only a few miles from the border), so we asked the gate attendant and he said the ranchers up around Spirit Lake are getting frustrated with them and are seeing them all the time. Last year I talked to the guy in charge of the logging up on that IEP and he said when his guys were coming up early in the morning they were hearing them howl back and forth.
I am sure that they are already making there way up into the Eastern slopes of Mt. Spokane, but how long before they end up over the hill and on the western slopes of Mt. Spokane? Its already hard to shoot an elk in this unit, so it will really suck when there are no elk left.
Not sure if anyone else is aware of this, so I thought I would share what knowledge I had on the subject and want to see what everone else is thinking, or if they know more about whats going on with these particular wolves.
