Title: Walla Walla Wolf
Post by: 724wd on January 09, 2017, 04:14:43 PM: I heard the WDFW witnessed wolves kill a cow elk up Mill Creek. Rumor is they watched it happen from Scenic Loop and called, warning some creek residents.

I hadn't heard that yet. I will ask around and text you. I assume your dad knows?

I felt like a burrito at just the right height for critters. Saw all the wolf tracks I could ever want to see when the sun came up about 500 yards away from camp on the trail. A good friend has a picture of a wolf from last deer season but he won't tell me where he was (secret hunting area) I'm pretty sure it's over by tucannon. It's definitely getting common to spot them dang it

That must have been a fun night! I've never had wolves that close but had a cool experience 35 years ago w two bears rolling around right next to my hammock in Ontario. I had no idea they were there but my buddy's who was in the tent watching them was sh*tting bricks. Told me the next morning he thought about cutting through the back of the tent and making a run for it!

pretty close to town then :yike:
A couple of years ago heard there were a few killing sheep just outside of Weston so that's close too.
