The Department of Fish and Wildlife’s latest report on the animals finds there are 260 wolves, up from 216 last year, traveling in 42 packs, including a reestablished pack in Okanogan County. The Beaver Creek Pack had fallen below the minimum number of two wolves, but rebounded as of December.

And if the department says there's 260 wolves. then you can bet there is atleast 520 wolves.:yeah: As far as hunting them, it ain’t happening while Inslee’s in charge and it won’t happen if SideShow gets elected.

it's up to Rural communities to educate wolves, and at this point WDFW would just a soon not hear about it.

That’s a ton of wolves.If you assume an average wolf weight of 80 pounds that's actually 10 tons of wolves.

OLYMPIA — Washington’s population of gray wolves has increased for the 15th year in a row since the species returned to the state.the re-established okanogan pack….they’ve been dropping problem wolves off around there and now claiming it’s a re-established pack. What a joke.

$$$$$ like everything else. The wolves and bears and bees are to the activist bio like the heroine addicts, homeless, and mentally ill are to the metropolitan city official - an endless source of government funds.

-During calendar year 2023, WDFW spent a total of $1,611,412 on wolf management activities, including $84,686 for Damage Prevention Cooperative Agreements for Livestock (DPCAL), $164,102 for Contracted Range Riders, $28,596 for livestock loss claims, $31,602 for lethal removal operations in response to depredations on livestock, and $1,302,426 for wolf management and research activities.

Perhaps they ought to consider purchasing SD cards and cameras from Midway.

Wasn't that long ago that we couldn't talk about SSS on here, the wolf lovers would get their ban wagon rolling. My how things have changed....
Not surprising the cat's outa the bag so to speak, more people are a little brighter on what the wolves really do, like the guy who had his dog eaten in his yard a while back while his wife watched, He's not pro-wolf anymore.
Reminds me of Idaho back in the day, uncontrolled wolves have finally worn-out their welcome and WDFW know it, and it won't improve, it will only get worse.

They probably spent the mule deer funds on the wolves to help manage them.🤬

Probably a line item under the Wolf management plan titled:
Wolf and ungulate relationship “How many Mule Deer it takes to feed the current and future wolf populations”
