Here's your chance to confirm another wolf pack WDFW! Oh That's right, according to Conservation NW, WDFW are too broke to monitor and confirm wolf packs.

Leahy junction is aprox. 12 miles south east of Bridgeport on highway 17. There's a real well kept ranch right next to the highway that raises hereford cattle.
wolves LOVE herefords

Also, if WDFW knows there is a collared wolf in any area where no confirmed packs are and they are getting reports of a pack with a collared wolf In said area, I would have someone working the area right now. No excuse if they arn't.

I think it would be a good idea if WDFW could put on a map on the web that shows where the collared wolfs are. I don't mean the exact location but at a low resolution (like a township) so people know how many are collared and where they are generally located. Remember the Oregon game dept. did that for the wolf that wandered down the Cascades into N. Cali?

I think you are missing the point, WDFW doesn't want anyone to know how many wolves are in WA. Just here in the Methow Valley, WDFW claim there is just one wolf pack and the collars don't work. In reality the Methow has several wolf packs, either that or the largest wolf pack ever recorded.

My bet is the largest pack ever recorded! LOL They have a steady diet of deer, definatley have ate up the states biggest herd.

Nothwest of Leahy junction- ten wolves were seen crossing the highway, six of them were pups.

they've been there for months, state has been made aware but nothing has came of it.

Powerpoint presentation by WDFW providing updates on packs/collaring and more. Includes map of locations of collared wolves.

Well maybe the WFW chapters need to get some fund raising going to get these packs confirmed. Hell if every member on this site donated 20 bucks that would be over $300,000.Back when confermation was first starting the Cattlemens association offered to higher a trapper. (if my memory serves right) and was turned down because it would not be a WDFW employee with a Wolf biology degree or some such requirement.
