Title: Wolf hit on Blewett
Post by: sooperfly on April 23, 2013, 04:38:03 PM
Adult female wolf was killed on Blewett Pass last week.  Appeared to have been eating on a road kill deer.  Judging by the mess  I'm told it appears to have been hit by a semi.

I think my BS-o-meter just pegged.

This would have made big news.

Seattleites would have held a vigil for it, and I didn't see a caravan of Subaru's go by.....

Funny. People didn't want to believe a wolf got hit on I-90 near Post Falls either. Why is this so hard to believe? Are wolves thought to be too smart to get run over by cars? Happens to deer all the time. Why not wolves?

But why?

Every time a deer or elk is hit by a car it does not make the news. I don't see why a wolf would be any different. Just doesn't seem to be that newsworthy to me.  :dunno:

Really? Deer aren't the subject of an intensely dividing recovery effort, whereas wolves are. . . I don't know what the estimated numbers are for that specific area, but if it were 20 wolves or so, that'd be 5% of the wolf population there gone just like that. Wouldn't be one bit surprised if it made news.  Actually more surprised if it didn't.

I remember a week or two ago a cougar was hit on I-5 near Woodland, that made the news. . . But a wolf, even more rare, wouldn't?  :dunno:

  I just spoke to the local game warden and local law enforcement officers, its just another rumor gone bad, I drove over Blewett Friday evening and Sunday afternoon,  I did see a lot of deer along the side of the road, eating  the salt left over from the last snow storm, so its entirely possible that it could happen, some one might have picked it up thinking it was a road-kill  pet

I regularly drive by coyotes and deer. I often have to stomp and swerve to avoid the deer, and yet I can't manage to safely nail a yote with my rig. The predator eyes must help them survive.

Kind of weird there isn't a pic of it floating around.  Usually when something cool gets hit by a motor vehicle you usually see a pic of it.  That's right  It was probably a yote if you ask wdfw

A female down will slow the spread of the wolf infestation. I bet it was one of the "un documented" wolves the state is not tracking (that was an illegal immigrant joke if you didn't get it). I cant imagine what damage a wolf would do to a passanger vehicle. I hit a raccoon a couple weeks back going through Yakima on hwy 82 (doing 65) & it cost just under 1K in damage to my Honda.
