The Canadian Gray wolves belong where they came from, hunting game that they evolved hunting, Where people hunt, trap, and kill the hell out of them every chance they get. Not down here in the lower 48 where they are petted and told they can kill off all the game herds, peoples livestock and then if they want some extra fun they can kill our dogs and chickens. >:( >:( >:(

NE washington, the methow, south cascades, and the blue mountains all appear to have appropriate habitat.  The question of the number of wolves is an interesting one too...too few wolves and the population is not recovered...too many wolves and we have problems with game availabilty.  tough questions to answer.

they could not possibly have come from canada, because then they'd have to cross the border and that would be illegal. not sure how they would have even made it across the border with the border patrol and all.

So what you are saying is the wolves that we have and are seeing all over the Methow are not from Canada, nor are they from the YNP. Our wolves evolved right here in the Methow?  I think its time for you to check back in with s.fitkin.  I think fitkin was in search of his wolves yesterday, I thought about calling him up and telling him to check behind Hanks Market. Nice helicopter they were flying around in.

The thing that hacks me off the most is this fantasy that the wolf is an endangered species.  Aren't there plenty of wolves in Canada? Why do we need Canadian wolves in Washington?  Why not Polar Bears or Muskox?  They were both hear at one time too. 

I think the concept of wolves as an endangered species is as big of a fraud as man made global warming.

I agree with this. I think we should provide these wolf loving folks with the opportunity to "live in harmony" with their fluffy gods. It seems unfair that they should have to travel long distances to see Washington's wolves. :chuckle:

So now you are saying that the wolves that were turned loose in the YNP were Canadian wolves, but the wolves that are in the Methow are not Canadian wolves? How exactly does that work, do they get a special stamp after the wolves hit the YNP? The wolves that we have in the Methow are Canadian grey wolves. Some of them even have GPS collars. Fitkin said that we are getting wolves that are migrating from Idaho and Montana, do you think that maybe some of them might have gotten mixed up with the ynp wolves of Canadian origin? I wonder if they know that their original Canadian wolves turned ynp wolves are getting all mixed up with BC wolves.  :dunno:Could you maybe put a call into your biologist friends and ask them for me. I would but you know how I am. :yike:

Its pretty laughable to think that the wolves in washington are not genetically related to Yellowstone stock.  This is where the science comes in... one of the crooked bios takes a look at the DNA tests and sees that 15% is BC wolf and declares it a BC wolf even though 85% of the DNA is of undeterminable origin...AKA Yellowstone.

I should have made an effort to be more clear about the methow wolves- they are still gray wolves, only they are a BC halotype that is smaller than the YNP animals and often has red behind the ears and red legs.  It's sometimes referred to as a 'red legged' wolf. 
DNA Evidence is collected and sent to a Lab in CA for results...the bios don't pack around pockets full of wolf hair/blood/scat to seed the DNA results, they want to know and understand the actual origin and gain a better understanding of the situation.  There is no conspiracy.

The wolves in Washington (the ones we know about) are not of yellowstone origin, but they are of Canadian origin (mostly?) the Pend Orelle alpha male is a known Glacier NP wolf, but no DNA info was collected on the female- info on the pups was collected, but i have no idea about the results (the female should be identified with the pups and sires info).

The Wolves in the M Valley are Canadian gray wolves, very same as the YNP wolves. The red wolf is a cross between the gray wolf and a coyote; red wolves are a recognized species. Over a long period of time they became recognized as a species as long as they bred with their own kind (red wolf to red wolf). The red wolves were reintroduced by the USFWS first in North Carolina. The problem is that they have a very low survival rate because of habitat and they also readily breed with coyotes. Breeding with coyotes dilutes the species and will remove them from the ESA. Gray wolves breeding with coyotes produces "Super Coyotes", which produces a smaller wolf and also the red markings. I would imagine that all of the state that the gray wolves have been dumped in have some super coyotes by now.

i did not say red wolf.  They're not red wolves, they're gray wolves from BC, often referred to as "red legged" wolves.  So far, there has been no genetic link to the YNP wolves found.  You should try to collect some DNA evidence and prove everyone wrong.

I suppose if they ever find another wolf pack in the M Valley it will have whatever DNA wdfw pulls out of the bag.

And cram our complaints down there throats so far they will have to listen or they'll choke.  Either that or get out there and start doing some serious SSS

Many of us are doing something about the wolves is Washington, how bout you, have you written letters called? made a pain in the ass of yourself to the people who might be able to change things????

I can't believe that anyone would think that wolves belong anywhere that there are people.  where people camp and enjoy the great outdoors, this is absurd. I already have to watch my back because of bears and cougars, and I've had close calls with both. Now I'll have wolfs to watch out for too!!!!! Whats really maddening is that these people putting wolfs here are going to ruin the areas that I consider my back yard. where I love to take my family and children horseback riding camping and hunting. How well would you sleep at night knowing theres a pack of wolfs out side your tent?  I'm so mad my forehead is on fire, every time I read these posts I get all worked up. Our wilderness areas are challenging enough without adding wolfs to the equation. Besides my horse doesn't like bears, and I don't think he would like wolfs either. All kidding aside this is truly sad to see what is being shoved down our throats. Its not right what these people are doing. I applaud all you guys that are trying to stop this.

I have had a uncomfortable situation in NE wa with something that made a panting noise and fallowed me.  Got fallowed by a sow B. bear in Montana (no guns on me) and have probably been watched by a cat.  I am pretty sure all of us have been watched by a cat and not known it.  By far the panting incident ruined my day the most, I was no longer king of the forest, second place on the food chain.  About 100 yards from me was a wolf kill and there was dog poo everywhere. 
I think wolves have there place, where people dont go, ie canada.  Why were there no wolves here?  Our great grand parents killed them and they either moved on or got shot.  Seemed to be ok 80 years ago, whats wrong with it now?  Anyone eles have a tough time in ne wa for deer?  If ya think about the increase dog and cat population could led to a decrease in prey population?  Anywho there are no wolves in wa.... just big yotes :)
