Title: Is this wolf scat?
Post by: jennyfell55 on August 12, 2015, 01:46:07 PM: I was out scouting around Tiger Mountain with a buddy and found this. Wolf? Biggest coyote ever? No prints to be found, .45ACP next to it for size.

I've never seen wolf scat so I'm not in a position to say but Tiger Mt is a possibility anymore with the way they're spreading. Let's hope they get a little closer to the public trails in Seattle so the idiots there can see what they got started!

Right...because there are no pro wolf advocates on the Eastside. They only live in Western Washington. That's an ignorant statement to make. SMH

I have 50 lbs dogs that crap that big at times. My bet is it's a coyote.

Grizzlies have been killing people for years in Yellowstone and elsewhere. It hasn't stopped anyone yet.

Side note, as usual, bears have a higher human body count than wolves this year. When that statistically changes, in North America, you might see a change in attitude. Until then...
