Nice buck, a cougar, awesome bobcat, some coyote, and another dog.
The first pic is one of the coyotes and the second pic is the best of four pics I got of it.
I am positive it is not a domestic dog.

That should be reported to WDFW. Specially if an area with non documented.https://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/gray_wolf/reporting/

It's been rumored that the Local Bio is trying to track down a pack near Darrington.

After the first pic I would have put money on it being a domestic dog. That short snout and the head in general did not seem wolf like. The 2nd pic has me at least wondering.
I think it's a young wolf, because of the attributes you have listed above. Also, the size of the body doesn't look huge, compared to the coyote.

See the resemblance now.
Someone with WDFW must have picked it up in a truck and moved it to Snohomish county. Couldn't possibly have walked that far all on it's own.

The coyote and black dog both look pretty well fed.

I saw tracks up above the North Fork of the Sauk almost 20 years ago during the middle of winter.

One way to find out is to shoot it as a coyote then have the DNA checked out.
Sort of like saying shoot a mountain lion and check later to see if it's a bobcat?

To give a little back ground on this whole thing let me quickly explain the situation for you all.
My daughter has been shooting bow for two years now. She showed a strong interest in going hunting with me and has progressed to the point in strength and accuracy that we set 2018 as her inaugural season.
I spent much of free-time in the last year scouting through the mountains looking for just the right set-up for her.
I finally found the spot that would work.
It has terrain she can handle with a natural blind over looking an active area.
Best of all is that it had a beauty of a resident buck. I crossed my fingers that the buck would make it through this years hunting season and supplemented his diet for maximum health and antler growth. Luck held and he made it through.
Every three to four weeks I went up and changed out trail cam batteries and brought my daughter along to get used to the area and to practice moving through the forest quietly and efficiently.
Then, this predator showed up on camera. It had me pretty worried and I decided to go on up and check the camera to see if it was going to hang around or keep migrating out of the area. What I found just 15 feet away from The trail cam was a hard hit.
The camera had 1200 images over the course of two days that started within hours of our leaving the last time we were up there but, the action that was triggering the cam was just out of frame on every single one of them.
I'm adding the pics that I took with my phone of what I found left of the buck.
I can't prove what killed him as it may have just been coincidence, but in my mind it seems to great a coincidence.

growing up we had a half wolf/half German sheeperd that would routinely fight coyotes. one night we hear him going at it and dad puts the spotlight on him and we couldn't tell him from the other. turns out dnr had released a few wolves to take care of the deer that were eating the trees they had the inmates plant. this was around 2002 in Lewis county

We always had story's the old timers could tell ya about wild dogs in northeast Washington , And it always starts off this dog ran off and bred with coyotes and the story always ended you see any wild dog up here hunting ,shoot em.
Post by: Curly on January 06, 2018, 09:17:15 PM
It's a big enough stretch to believe that WDFW has tranported and released wolves (I don't believe that for a second but can see why some may believe it with wdfw) but it seriously is laughable to believe DNR would have used wolves to reduce the deer population. No way would they have done that.
:sry: but it's just really not something that the Department of Natural Resources would have done.
I've heard stories of Weyerhaeuser dropping off wolves. While I don't buy into that story either, it is at least something that isn't beyond belief. :twocents:
