At the end of 2016, the state was home to a minimum of 115 wolves, 20 packs, and 10 successful breeding pairs. That's an increase of at least 25 wolves since 2015, despite the confirmed deaths of 14 wolves from various causes.
Those findings draw on information gathered from aerial surveys, remote cameras, wolf tracks, and signals from radio-collared wolves, and are considered minimum estimates, the agency said.
"Washington's wolf population continues to grow at about 30 percent each year," said Jim Unsworth, director of Fish and Wildlife.
30 percent per year, that's about the same rate moose are disappearing the last few years, how coincidental! :bash:

Are most of WDFW's wolves neutered?
Meck said that wolves double in size each year.
After watching the fraud and corruption of the wolf introduction, did anyone really expect a different outcome with WDFW?

Think what the % would be if there was only moose and not other game to slaughter.....deer, cows, calves, sheep, etc..

115 (wolves in WA) x 30% (annual growth rate)x 10 years ( the time it will take WDFW to wake up)= 460 (mouths to feed) x 7lbs ( average meat intake of wolf/day) = 3220 (lbs/day to sustain WA wolf pop) =1,175,300 (lbs/year) divided by 600( average weight of rocky mountain elk) =
1,958 ELK A YEAR DISSAPEARING FROM THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
OR
9,040 MULE DEER

We all know how long it takes F and G to launch a plan into action.....................As of right now I am not really aware of a plan to maintain wolf pop in WA. I am just an uneducated hunter, outdoorsman and cattle rancher. However I did come up with and equation that I think we can apply here.If the annual growth rate is 30%, there would be 1,585 wolves after the 10th year of growth.
115 (wolves in WA) x 30% (annual growth rate)x 10 years ( the time it will take WDFW to wake up)= 460 (mouths to feed) x 7lbs ( average meat intake of wolf/day) = 3220 (lbs/day to sustain WA wolf pop) =1,175,300 (lbs/year) divided by 600( average weight of rocky mountain elk) =

I highly doubt at this stage in the game WDFW have any estimations on the amount of wolves WA has, they are just going with the same fraud count and population increase as the USFWS did in the illegal introduction.
