Our local radio station (KCVL 1240 am) just reported another 3rd wolf was caufght and collared on the Colville Reservation. They also said the tribe wplanned to release their wolf management plan by the end of the year. I found the following printed news stories about the wolves they have captured.

sounds like they getting pretty pro-active on it. Told em I was hoping they would pave the way on wolf management and wished em luck

I have high hopes for the CCT

He was a little shook up over it and was lucky they didn't kill his dog. His dog had bite marks and he also found what he believed to be a calf spine that still had red meat on it!

Mark,
Are they moving up to the north half yet ? I think I've seen wolf crap near Hardscrabble and Bodie Mtns just right north of Republic.

I've actually seen 2 wolves near Beaver Canyon 3 years ago near those 2 mountains right off the highway in a ranchers field I know. I reported them to our WDFW and they didn't even care about the sightings. Go figure huh !!!
