Title: New pack identified in the Methow Valley
Post by: wolfbait on April 23, 2023, 07:06:42 PM: https://methowvalleynews.com/2023/04/19/states-wolf-population-grew-only-slightly-in-2022/

The newly identified Chewuch pack, documented by trail cameras and tracking, has territory in the upper Chewuch River watershed, said Scott Fitkin, a WDFW wildlife biologist based in the Methow Valley. The pack is estimated to have 10 members, “which suggests they have been there for more than a year,” he said.

Locals are calling this "new pack" the Rendezvous pack and they already have collars.

Does anyone really believe anything that WDF&Wolves say anymore?

:yeah: The herd just continues to take a beating but keep coddling wolves, cougars and bears so all the out of state implants can enjoy themselves from their million dollar spreads. Must be enjoyable for them to witness these killers “thin the herd of the sick” while also watching them decimate healthy fawns. Your right bone, the whole deal is sickening! :bash: :bash:
