Anyone ever heard of wolves being out on this side of the state?

I saw one two years ago in the Winston unit at about 20 yards. You can hear them howling at night on the north side of St. Helens.

My husband and a co worker saw a black native timber wolf (not a giant Yukon type gray wolf ) by itself above Darrington 30 years ago.

We watched one last year in the Winston unit feeding on a dead deer.

Biologists told the spring bear tag holders in North Skagit this year to keep their eyes open for wolves.  I have not seen them or heard them myself, but it wouldn't suprise me if they are around.

I came across big dog tracks hiking up the west fork of the white river outside of green water. Would have thought someone was walking dogs maybe but no human tracks anywhere near it, I can't be 100% sure but my suspicions are very high. Its only a short matter of time before they are over here on the west side as much as the east

Well, we sent her there to counter the liberal influences. That's not working out so well! :chuckle:

We agree again!  I can't think of much worse than being forced to live in the U district (except being forced to live in the U district and be a husky we be worse).

She tends to make good choices. I'm very proud of her. One problem: wolf lover. I can deal with that, though. At least she understands other opinions on the issue.

She hates it. No, she's been a wolf lover since they brought some cuddly ones to her school when she was small. She's also into some interactive role-playing online stuff that has wolf characters. They indoctrinated her good when she was younger. If that's the worst thing she does, I'm OK with it. She's going to freak out when I get my first rug, though.

Hey Pianoman, instead of filling those crates with wolves, why don't you fill them with wolf scat. Then you could recruit some of us here to pick some up from you so we could spread it all over the SW corner of the state. Then we could have the bio's go out looking at the stuff and get them to admit that they are here since they will have dna evidence. It might also keep real wolves from coming into the area more than they are since they won't want to be in an area already inhabited by a couple of packs.
