What to do when you see a wolf
« on: October 13, 2011, 09:09:02 AM »
If you spot wolves in an area that hasn't yet been identified with a wolf pack, there are several things you should do. I'm no expert like Bearpaw, so if I've left anything out or got anything wrong, please make additional posts.
Pictures. If shots are of paw prints, take them with something for size reference (a Bic lighter or something common, even a ruler)
GPS coordinates
Time and date observed
Number observed and descriptions (one black, two grey, etc)
Scat samples - be careful not to touch anything that's been in contact with their scat as they have a worm that's transferable to pets and humans.
Pictures of suspected wolf kills
Hair samples

Please add to or correct my list.

I have trail cam pics of what I believe to be a wolf, that has time and date, I would be glad to provide exact location. I left a message for a bio the same day I posted the pics and have not heard a peep.  :dunno:

The biologist is out of town till 10/16. I confirmed that and forgot to tell you.

You should hear from him next week.

You should report it to the WDFW or the DNR or whoever the applicable party is.
They can't be everywhere at once so any help we can provide them in identifying suspect locations will get us to delisting and management on a state level that much sooner, regardless of how the wolf plan turns out.

Well if he can find me on the 16th I can walk him to the spot.  ;) Thanks for the follow up Jackelope. I wasn't trying to call him out just found it curious.

Maybe observe the pack behavior.  Looking for two wolves, one a little larger than the other, acting playfully but not with other wolves.  And if the pack disperses all but two separate.

This is meant to be a constructive thread about how and where to report wolf pack information to get the most benefit. S S S isn't what we're looking for.
