Rumor.

i sure hope its a rumor

Rumor!!!!!!!!
-
Supposedly, wolves have not been introduced anywhere in this state.
-
They could easily be there. I saw one in Winston last year. They travel long distances. Wolves haven't been released by the DFW in WA. And, here we go.

Heard about this a year or so ago at a wpha meeting, not good

If you saw the one I know of it is a hybrid that someone turned loose. He's been roaming around for a few years.
Wolves in Willapa Hills? How much were the guys drinking and what were they smoking when they were talking about it. Did bigfoot and aliens come up in the same topic? You do know that bigfoot are aliens who live in a spaceship under Mt St Helens, don't you?

nobody was drinking anything the topic just came up because we were talking about the area. and a friend said that he had heard that the state had introduced two pairs to that area. i called B.S. but was just curious if anyone else had heard anything

Wolf haven was very busy this year. Rick

The state did not. period. however i dont think its to far of a stretch that wolf groups are realeasing them and hybrids.

:yeah:
The state cannot and will not release wolves with out going through the full process. What that entails I do not know. But, just think about all they went through to release pronghorns and never could!
-
The process would likely take a couple of years, and would in not way be secret.

I think there is several threads on here about the release of the speed goats!

What is interesting is that I spend a lot of time in the Willapa hills, and I can remember as a kid sitting in the yard at dark and hearing howling... Not coyote howling and yipping, but honest to goodness howling. My grandfather would always sit and listen talk about them not being coyotes, and him being someone who was familiar with both, I was and still am inclined to believe him. I only heard them for about 2 years, and I haven't heard the same howling since. Lots of yotes still, but never what drawn out wolf howl that I used to hear. This was probably 1994-1995ish...
The rumor (read as RUMOR) was that deer and elk where doing significant damage to the new reprod in the area, and Weyerhaeuser had let some "big coyotes" go in the area... While this was always a RUMOR, I did hear it from several people in the area...

I saw 1 single wolf on the H Line down in the Nemah 22 years ago. We asked the local loggers at the tavern if wolves existed down there. They said yes and told us they see a wolve every so many years. We were told that Weyhauser had an issue with the deer and elk herds killing off all there replanted trees, so they introduced a few packs of wolves in the 1950s throughout the Nemah and Willipa Hills. Once the deer and elk herds were thinned, the hunters began to shoot them off to the point of being extinct. Now only a few remain, but not many. Well see what happens 10 years from now...

:tinfoil: don't think id buy into Weyerhaeuser transplanting.

Early 1950's when things were way different then the modern era.
-
Oh i understood when and that things were different. The state transplanted all kinds of things back then. But for a timber company to live trap wolves back then and have it done seems a reach but just my 2 :twocents:
However i do beleive you all are seeing them.
-
wolf groups would be the ones id be worried about. just look at this page on fb, wolves of the rockies
they banned me yesterday :chuckle:

Not necessarily wolves,but coyotes for sure. My dad worked for Weyco on the railroad That ran from Longview up towards Camp baker and Alder crk back in the late 50s. They released box car loads of coyotes to help with deer and elk damage.
