The picture here is the track with my putter as a reference. The putter head is 4 1/4 inches. We put a golf ball in front as well which has a diameter of 1.68 inches. Near as I can tell the print is a bit over 4" wide and long. No one in the area has a big dog that I know of that would have been around there.
I'm going to go nose around with a tape this morning.

I don't know enough to tell the difference between a wolf track and a big dog track......

That's essentially the back door for the Teanaway pack, right? I mean, it's only a couple miles from where they've definitely been spotted. wouldn't be surprising.

Probably ten miles as a crow flies from Teanaway.

That would have to be a pretty large dog.
Yes it would. Sand always makes size estimation a little harder, but even with the size exaggeration it would create that would still be a very big dog track.

I agree but every time I have seen people letting their dog run on the course, the dog has loved running all over in the trap, the only other track in this one was a lone coyote track that had been washed out by the snow and rain. That said I'll stick to "possible".
And Naches Sportsman, probably serious hacker would be more accurate since I played 115 rounds last year. Hope to be in the single digit handicap group after I get my hip replaced in April.

He is making a report to the WDFW website.

I'd be putting out a trail camera with some bait, and try to get a picture of it.
I'll have to work on the camera and think about where to put it.

Are you a member at Tumble Creek? When I worked up there years ago they weren't terribly fond of non-members nosing around up there, even in the off-season.

It's great to see the elk around here now, unfortunately if these wolves set up camp here the elk will disappear I am afraid.
We get a local free lift out of the elk droppings, just part of living with the wildlife.

We have a home here.

Tumble Creek is a beautiful course and I really enjoyed being able to get up there a couple of times. I even got to bum around up there while it was being built.
I haven't followed the situation there for a while, but I hope the Tumble Creek owners have fared better than some I have talked to from other parts of Suncadia......
If the Teanaway Pack ranges that far south, it makes me wonder about whether they have crossed I-90. That would be the first time a pack with collared animals have crossed the freeway into the Southern Zone.

Like all corners off the economy some faired well and others not so much. We had a fair number of folks that didn't make it through the downturn. Values are half what they were before the recession.
Things are getting settled now, values are stable and increasing some.

I would keep that track in the 'possible' category too. It's possible, but pretty likely a dog too.

Oh GREAT! First they take over our hunting grounds, now they claimed our golf courses!!! CRAP!!! What's next- our NASCAR tracks?!?!?!? :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

It became more likely last Sunday when the neighbor saw it, they said they reported it to WDFW.

And stuff the doggy treat with an explosive or better yet a virus that it will take back to the pack and destroy them!!! :tup:

Have a place in teanaway and its old news that the wolves are running around there.... The majority of them have been spotted on the north fork of the Teanaway... Where the guy from Owens Meats in Cle Elum has a place... Talked to him about it not to long ago... They are probably to Easton by now anything is possible
I have already reported multiple times seeing wolf tracks in cabin creek 4 or 5 years ago. Not dogs, nor coyotes. I followed these a couple sets of tracks for miles in the snow.
