not to get off track, about 93ish we were doing a timber sale just a bit from conrad meadows, bordered the rez, anyway there was a trail head right where we were that went across a huge rock slide and bow hunters were packing in there and every now and then when they came out we would get to b.sing them and three different sets swore they saw grizzly bears up in there, anybody hear of this or seen them themselves?
Look at how many people on here post pics of domestic dogs or coyotes saying theyre wolves, or dog / yote / cougar / bear tracks thinking its wolf.... you really trust some random idiot to know the diff between a color phase black bear and a grizz?

So today I had lunch with the cowboy who along with is wife a few others rides the rimrock area for cows. He and his wife live in their trailer from may to October, at least one member of there four man team is in the saddle and riding everyday and most day it's two of them, he has done this for many years. I asked him about wolves and he said none of them have every seen or heard a wolf, not even a track.Saw one about 50 feet in front of me in the cowiche about 1000 yards from the rimrock unit....but ya know I may just be one of those idiots that doesn't know the difference...I've only killed hundreds of coyotes...so I wouldn't really know much about em...

They're in the neighborhood for sure. Its only a hop and a skip from the Teannaway, where they are definitely established. I heard them howling up Nasty Creek 3 years ago.That was me 😂

I heard them howling up Nasty Creek 3 years ago.Was watching a show on wolves and it was amazing how many miles they put on in 24 hours! When I saw that one I ran up to where it was and found the tracks in fresh dirt....unless someone had their great dane out for a walk...

I think those cowboys are correct that there are probably few or none at all. I have been hiking, jeeping, fishing and hunting in that unit for most of my life and have never even seen a track, let alone heard one howling. I personally think the issue is way overblown. Most people's sightings aren't ever verified or even witnessed by someone who knows what to look for.

Even if they opened a season as liberal as coyotes, no way to control them. Poison would be the only way.

Some Washington road hunters have never seen a wolf?
Imagine that.

Only once have I ever heard a wolf howl and that was 25-30 years ago while camping near the Looking Glass River in OR. Next day I could see the rock outcrop across the river they had been howling from. They howled for a good 5 minutes.

While up on the Colockum during elk rifle season this year, I met a licensed predator controller. He is licensed for Montana, Idaho, and Washington. He said in his opinion there are many wolves in Washington, and that their numbers are beyond managing already. He told me that the game department has no idea what their numbers are.---- Just telling you guys what I was told... thought I'd throw it out there....
In 1995-96 the USFWS illegally released wolves into the Yellowstone and Idaho, (6-7 years later) in 2002 all three states were eligible to delist.
WDFW claim wolves started "migrating" into WA in 2002, and now 15 years later WDF&wolves still can't seem to find enough wolves for delisting.
I wonder if WDFW's wolves are gay?
