From the article:  "Last month, the state’s fourth documented pack—dubbed the Teanaway Pack— was confirmed in Kittitas County. DNA analysis of that pack’s adult female wolf indicated she is likely a recent descendant of the Lookout Pack".

Maybe I'm slow in hearing about this, but that certainly is very interesting news in my opinion

Well that explains what happened to the lookout pack. Most of them probably split off to form their own packs. So I guess everyone blaming it on poachers can apologize for slandering hunters as a whole.

Grundy - exactly.  That and it shows the dispersal capability of these animals.

I know there will still be those that will refuse to believe these wolves found their own way into Teanaway and will suggest that they were just trucked in from Lookout.

My personal belief is that these animals have been here, they are now growing in numbers, and they are dispersing at an astounding (and alarming) rate and range.

+1  The WDFW is spending some time looking and the wolves are moving in quickly.  I suspect they'll be finding packs left and right for a little while.

Agreed WAcoyotehunter.  Look at the flak they took over the timing and method of "confirming" the Teanaway pack.  Radio collared animal.  Photos more than a year old, etc.  Not the best way to go about things.

Still, I don't see this as any sort of proof of some sort of grand conspiracy.  Look at the Smackout pack - they collared that pup then confirmed the pack less than 2 weeks later.  Huge step in the right direction for the WDFW in my opinion.

only because other people knew about those wolves and the wdfw had no chaice but to confirm.

That's exactly my point Biginner. Whether they want to or not, the WDFW is going to have to start confirming these packs.  Too many people know about these packs for the state to continue shoveling reports under the proverbial rug.  I'm optimistic that the Smackout pack is the start of an evolving philosophy on behalf of the WDFW to just go ahead and confirm a pack and save face. It's a start
