Was down there hunting upland game last year and we had a pack light up our canyon at 9:00 in the morning.  Yes, we had better get used to it.  Still waiting for them to show up in King County  :dunno:

Not really very shocking considering we have them in and around Pullman and in the Blues. What's shocking are the comments from the idiots. I hate that.

I would think you would be use to comments from the "idiots" after listening to the pro-wolfers on H-W, just sayin……...

Saw my first wolf last weekend while turkey hunting near Colville, my buddy's son had just shot his first turkey and when I looked around after he shot- 2 other toms were still gobbling their way in - about 125 yards away was a black wolf just staring there staring across at our location

I don't hear anyone on HuntWA advocating killing hunters. There's a difference.

Plus the one that was hit on I-90 last year in King County. There on the west side just takes awhile for them to get seen.

3 were seen yesterday in Skagit county just west of Concrete up a Jackman creek road.

How was the experience? Even though they don't belong there, I bet it was unique.

The experience was
A)kind of cool- it was a wolf in the wild- just wished I had been in Northern Canada or Alaska and
B) a little unnerving being that this thing just stood there after the sound of a shot and stared straight across the ridge and when it left it just walked off, tells me this thing is already to comfortable around people.

Yeah, they know they're not being hunted. Sell me the first tag please.

I have been talking with another member on here who actually lives not real far from where we were hunting who has trail cam pics of this thing.

There have bee. Wolves sighted by loggers in that area a d north for quite some time. Unfortu atly I could get none of them to speak up about it. When I had my encounter ouside of sedro woolley I was surprised. When a member here and wsaa hunting advocate got photographic proof of a pack on the nooksack river with the whole pack and footprints he was rebuffed by the wdfd. They said they were likely hybrids.

Same fraud and corruption as the original introduction, welcome to WDF&Wolves

Low Estimates Hide Extent of Impact

But regardless of the number of breeding pairs counted, central Idaho is saturated with wolves. Other wolf packs and breeding pairs are constantly forming and dispersing to saturate adjacent areas – yet an unknown number of them are never included in the current year’s minimum estimated wolf population.

It can be argued that most of these undocumented wolves will probably be documented sooner or later if they remain in the area, since 17 new packs were reportedly documented in 2007. But by pretending that the minimum estimate reflects the actual number of wolves, officials and the media downplay their negative impact.

Then i guess its okay to likely shoot them

Someone said there is a scope out now, that when you look through it, the wolf turns into a shootable coyote. Gotta find me one of them.

Get used to it, I've been told by a WDFW Biologist that they've been there for at least two years.

In todays paper they killed the alpha female when they darted her to put a collar on. So sad. They said she had a litter that was about 6 weeks old.

How are we ever going to reach the limit of breeding pairs if the WDFW keeps killing them.

 :yeah:
Never gonna happen.  And saying maybe wdfw did it on purpose to delay delisting?  Come on.  Youre giving them too much credit for being evil geniuses.  Its just plain incompetence at work there.  Denial and refusal to confirm works just fine for them anyway.  No need to kill their precious little wolves to claim lower numbers

 :yeah: The only way wolves will be delisted is if WDFW are forced into it

"In other wolf news, an off-leash dog with a pair of horseback riders in the Methow Valley ran after a wolf the couple encountered last month only to have the wolf counter attack and bite the dog."


But, but wolves are timid shy creatures……...

So without a breeding female, any bets this pack will get de-listed?
