The question wasn't if people had seen wolf sign, but if they had seen a wolf SIGH. Seeing a wolf sigh is much more uncommon than simply seeing wolf sign. Wouldn't you agree?

WA state is going to be a draw only state for Mule deer in no time at this rate...pretty piss poor job of game "management."

Hunted 5 different mountains in NE WA over the course of the regular muley season....hunting one mountain each day pretty hard shaking and moving putting on the miles just trying to find game, cut a track, or see any fresh sign...and hunted a few of them a couple times. ALL been good quality mountains to me over the last 22 years, seen lots of deer and killed many bucks, on all of them. Saw 3 does and 2 wolf kills on one of the mountains, and both wolf kills were nice bucks... a big heavy 3 pt and a 4 pt. No LIVE deer on the other 4 mountains except 2 nice 4 points and another nice 3 pt, also killed by wolves. I was in snow every day and put on about 8-11 miles on average each day and besides seeing those 3 does, only cut 2 tracks over all the other mountains...both big buck tracks. Followed the one track for about a mile after cutting it and went through all kinds of shin tangle and then started seeing a single wolf track in the buck track. That went on for about another mile, maybe more. I was fortunate enough to catch up to the buck, but unfortunately it too met a furry four legged fate right along a heavy timber line and old burn with lodgepole and reprod. Several different sets of wolf tracks all around it, looked like a sport kill. Looked like they tugged on a front leg some, the neck, and left it. 2 days later I went back to check it out, no fresh wolf tracks anywhere around it but a bear had been on it that morning. Like I said, sport kill. The other buck track I cut came up out of some seriously thick timber up and over the ridge and back down the other side in to some seriously thick timber. Looking at it's tracks in the snow it was moving pretty quickly, definitely not screwing around. Never seen anything like this before. Knew of more bucks killed by wolves than harvested by hunters..some of the most depressing *censored* I've ever seen. Saw 6 legal bucks and about 30 does in the first 2 days alone last year, saw 3 does all season this year.....pretty dang sad. And the fact that they appear to be targeting bucks makes it even more depressing. I'm still losing sleep over it. And we have 4 new confirmed packs in the eastern 1/3 of WA just this year?? To add to the 12 confirmed packs already in the eastern 1/3?? With 14 of those in NE WA?? (That's the last I read where it was at)

Folks who turn in wolf sightings etc. are completely ignored by WDFW unless the wolves start killing livestock and even then they refuse to admit it was wolves unless forced to do so
WDFW have the same agenda as the USFWS.

we didn't see any elk that day. I came back to hunt 342 as I had a cow tag.The elk were not in their usual haunts.
I didn't see any wolf tracks as it's rocky ,but the air seemed well, different!
This was the 1st year I didn't fill a cow tag,and no elk were sighted in 8 days,heard them but no visuals..We split up many times and wore the boots into some of the deep canyons. Just tracks that were leaving the area. :dunno:

Several different sets of wolf tracks all around it, looked like a sport kill. Looked like they tugged on a front leg some, the neck, and left it. 2 days later I went back to check it out, no fresh wolf tracks anywhere around it but a bear had been on it that morning. Like I said, sport kill. The other buck track I cut came up out of some seriously thick timber up and over the ridge and back down the other side in to some seriously thick timber. Looking at it's tracks in the snow it was moving pretty quickly, definitely not screwing around. Never seen anything like this before. Knew of more bucks killed by wolves than harvested by hunters..some of the most depressing *censored* I've ever seen. Saw 6 legal bucks and about 30 does in the first 2 days alone last year, saw 3 does all season this year.....pretty dang sad. And the fact that they appear to be targeting bucks makes it even more depressing. I'm still losing sleep over it. And we have 4 new confirmed packs in the eastern 1/3 of WA just this year?? To add to the 12 confirmed packs already in the eastern 1/3?? With 14 of those in NE WA?? (That's the last I read where it was at)
It's time to collect them ALL and bring All of them to King and Pierce counties....if they want them so bad, by all means....take em. WA state is going to be a draw only state for Mule deer in no time at this rate...pretty piss poor job of game "management." Washington Department of no-Fish and no-Game is where they appear to be heading. As you can tell I am still quite bitter about the whole situation.
:yeah: During Archery season I either saw wolf sign and/or heard wolves howling every. single. day. WDFW has its head so far down in the sand... :bash: Also have bears and cats on every stinking game camera I have. Have 8 different bears on one mule-deer cam. Of course no OTC spring bear hunting either! The calves / fawns the bears miss in the spring are taken out by the wolves and cats. Pretty soon most hunting will be special draw only. Lining WDFW's pockets and destroying hunting opportunities. Both of which seem to be their express purpose based on their "Management". :bash:
This is the truth.
Eventually the animals will strike a balance.
Man isn't as smart as nature.
It will take about 15 years.
Wolves balance the ecosystem, make Aspen grow and beavers flourish…..
Why yes Two Dogs.
