Title: Is this a Wolf or a fox? You be the judge...

At first I thought it was a wolf but then looking at the pictures and comparing them to other pics on Google I think its a fox... :twocents: I don't doubt for one second that there are wolfs in this area though.

Post by: Curly on December 11, 2013, 09:10:24 AM: I imagine all the extra wolves in the state won't be doing any favors for the few Cascade Red Foxes that live in the state. I wonder if the wolf huggers ever considered that point when they decided how many wolves they wished to have here? :dunno:

They have no concept of the effect it will have on other animals

I know a guy that saw a grey female collared, black male and 4 pups on pinegrass during early archery.
