Bone and his family left to find some bucks to photo, 5 minuets after he left a wolf showed back up, then another and another. I was able to keep at least one in the spotter for the next one and half hours as they wondered around some times single some times in groups. One made a big circle up around the hill marking bushes and come back to meet another which had just caught a gofer and kept it away from a raven which harassed him for ten minuets. Eventually all 7 were back together 200 yards from the neighbors house just plying around, they got into a big draw and I never seen them after that. I know this is long but who gets to watch a wolf pack for two hours.

Very cool. Cant wait to see the pictures. As long as they are going to be here it would be cool to watch them. Be even cooloer when we can hunt them. Dibs on the first tag. :P
Better hope that at some point in time Washington has a hunting season, because they will be about all there is left to hunt. >:(

Bone had the big camera but it's a long ways and spitting snow so the light was bad, but we hope you can see them, Bone will be back in a couple days.

Idabooner were the wolves on your side of the river?
No. But they could be any time, the river won't stop them. Once up in BC I seen 3 wolves run a moose into the lake, 2 leaped on its back, one fell off in a little ways but one stayed on 200 feet before he quit and swam back, the moose made it out the other side.

Here they are folks. These are about 3 miles away and crappy air. I tried to get close but they weren't there when I got there. I guess they went on the hunt and the pack split. Then I guess after I left they showed back up. GO FIGURE.
I got six in one picture. I swear there were 8 at one time. Rose swears she saw 8 one time in the spotter while I was chasing them and Idabooner thought he might have seen 8. After they returned, Idabooner watched them for nearly 2 hours it sounds like. They came a lot closer. He Confirmed 7 of them. Interesting enough, I never saw a COLLAR, red or blue, and there were no BLACK wolves. You'll note that the male was straddle another wolf the whole time. Basically the female is coming into heat and one of the younger males (probably last years crop) was getting a little frisky. Alpha male took him down and straddled him for quite a long time. Now I suppose sometime in the future that male will get the boot and he can meet up with a female from twisp River pack and we can have anoterh confirmed pack. I hope this one goes to the Entiat. It might get the attention of some of these govenor tag fellows. :chuckle:

They were last seen a 100 yards from someones house at dark....and closing. I wonder if he has/had/ will have, any ankle biters.
Yeah that's because coyotes like to hunt house cats, small dogs, and even lure out larger dogs and gang up on them as a pack. Coyotes get close to houses.......,wolves don't, if they did we would actually see some valid pics. Until then (better pics), this has all just been a bunch or crap flying around. I don't really like the idea of wolves killing the hell out of our big game animals either, but c'mon man, don't post pics like that and be so quick to call em wolves........have fun with this one dumbos.

So your saying that you can without a doubt....100%....say those are wolves with pics like that????? Its not 100%.....its not even 80%. That just the facts...plain and simple. I'm not going to bow down to you and say your right like some folks do on here just because you take a butt load of pics and have thousands of posts. On the last pick....look at the short bodied, pointy nosed little fart standing broadside and tell me that is 100% a wolf.

And that goes for some of the other crappy pictures people post on this site claiming wolf......it's just a bunch of crap because you really can't tell for certain.....Yeah there are wolves up there for sure, but the so called pics are just stupid......I actually wouldn't mind seeing a valid quality pic of at least one member of that pack. Maybe I should just go up there myself, I used to live in the valley...so I know my way around.....Maybe if I'm lucky I can take some pics of "Bone" takin a dump and then post them on this site. :chuckle:

I dont understand Scott Fitkin's project. He recollared TWO and Bone said NO COLLARED! Let me correct with you Bone, Did you really look harder? Because Collared is about 4"by 4" Black solid. Hairly could cover it when its winter.
Maybe Mother of this pack arent in Pic. She one of SMARTEST Wolf than ANY you know of. She know when your looking at her pack. She gone! Male should have collared should be able to have Bone to see it but Hairly fuffly might hard to show.
People might not see this pic before TrailCamera Caught up Elbow Canyon in Okanagon County Recently Fall. Pup look smaller A LOT same Coyote but u gotta to see yourself people.

Wolfbait, why is it that when I say nothing you have to "Attack" like the wolf that you are? Is it "killing for fun"? It is interesting though. As far as the pictures go, I was only interested in seeing if "Bone" had better quality photos, like the Bobcat pics. :) As far as the miller goes, much rather have Busch and Wisers. :P

Jim B will WRITE EVERYTHING ON CLOUD ALL OVER IN WASHINGTON ON WHAT YOU DID if you got Caught. I am glad you didnt. :'(
If I was you I wouldnt want to deal with this. Let WDFW deal with this problem! and I have family to be responsible for.
I wouldnt want to scare you people off and stop shoot them but just be careful! Do what you think and THINK TWICE Before you pull TRIGGER! Make sure this area is safe to pull trigger on coyotes. If you shoot Female Collared, USFWS WILL HUNT YOU DOWN! Because they will keep tracking on his collar daily to make sure she is alive. And its only ONE they are following harder and easy to be in right local. If there is 150 Wolves I wouldnt worry. But only one pack. USFWS are sitting at one spot and you might walk by him one day.

First of all in this picture people, Remember 4 of pups are only 8-9 months old. Same size as Coyotes but Long leg. And one with darker color must look like Alpa Male BIG FACE!

Trolls are trolls, kind of like wolves are wolves. Feel free to insult my pictures or what I see, I don't have to prove anything to you two. I saw more bulls, bucks, bobcats coyotes and wolves in two half days than you probably have all year. :chuckle: There is more than crappy pics of them, I am sure you are familiar with spotting scopes and watching animals. As I stated before, feel free to shoot as many of them as you'd like. Thos elong legged ones make great pelts. As for the nerve, no, I went to bed. I bet I am feeling better right now than you are.LOL I spent most of my evening posting poor pictures on this website for you to look at. If you are an expert on the valley you should go try to take a few. I'd love to see them.
Well "*censored*" you apparently have seen more wolves than I have...I'll give ya that for guessing I suppose. The other critters.....I wouldn't be so sure....how would you know what I have or haven't seen anyway? See......just a bunch more useless guess work. :pee: As for your PICS....I didn't say they were all poor, just suprising you posted those inplace of the high quality pics you usually post? Also...never said I was an expert in the valley, just that I could find my way around....maybe you should go back and read that post???? :dunno:

I'll have to admit I agree with eastside boy in that I can't look at those pics and say I'm 100% positive those are wolves. My first thought when I saw the pics was it looked like coyotes to me.

Anyone with much knowledge of canadian wolves and coyotes know that wolf packs are territorial and they kill coyotes, they do not run together. Look at the tails raised in the photos, wolves carry their tail that way, coyotes do not, also coyotes have trimmer bodies, I had no doubts when I saw these photos. :twocents:

Oh......and I really don't need to be straightened out on the wolf issues......maybe if you would read a little more carefully, then you would see that my posts do not carry a pro wolf stance. Not being able to positively identify those canines with those type of pics was the point that was suppose to be put out there. But, unfortunately what is happening is that there are varying severity's in cases of cranial rectosis among some of you....therefore the point will never get through to some.

Some of that may be partially because of reputation, which you seem to resent that I might have one, or in fact some of the other members like Idabooner. I tend to call a spade a spade, don't tend to exaggerate, and tend to be fairly successful in the outdoors. People actually get to know me. I notice you keep referring to your previous posts that you may not have inferred something or said something, yet everyone seems to interpret what you are saying to be something else. Is that sort of like the boyscout marching backwards in the parade and everyone else is wrong but backwards Johnny is perfect. You can come out and say they aren't wolves. You can come out and say the pictures suck and I wish their were better ones. you don't have to hide behind piss poor wit, smiley faces of monkeys pissing on my name etc. It is fine to disagree even if I am an administrator. it generally isn't fine to call everyone dorks or *censored*es or whatever your term was. Sorry your opinion doesn't mean enough for me to go look again to see what term you used. I knew what Iceman was saying but somehow most have no clue what you are saying. As for the quality of pics, if you understood animal behavior, (such as bearpaw) and looked at the big picture, instead of one animal to the left, and even trust someone that might know something, you'd understand. Instead......you basically made a fool of yourself, and guess what reputation you will have from now on. :dunno:
Well.......I guess that is life in the west!! Sorry to hear about all the long faces. Now....onto other things, I asked you a question in another thread, check it out.

I was trying to decide how stupid I was. Trying to get in the middle of a wolf pack WHILE they were hunting. A .357 tucked in my coat pocket. I guess its a 6 shooter. The 7th or 8th I'd have to beat with the camera I guess. :)

Trolls are trolls, kind of like wolves are wolves. Feel free to insult my pictures or what I see, I don't have to prove anything to you two. I saw more bulls, bucks, bobcats coyotes and wolves in two half days than you probably have all year. :chuckle: There is more than crappy pics of them, I am sure you are familiar with spotting scopes and watching animals. As I stated before, feel free to shoot as many of them as you'd like. Thos elong legged ones make great pelts. As for the nerve, no, I went to bed. I bet I am feeling better right now than you are.LOL I spent most of my evening posting poor pictures on this website for you to look at. If you are an expert on the valley you should go try to take a few. I'd love to see them.

If you have the original of that you should blow it up or crop it before reducing and we'd be able to see the critters better. You'd get more grain.....cool picture though.
That was meant as a joke... I copied it off of the coyote madness thread. :chuckle:

Bone what kinda of ride do you have? Your $$ for gas must be unbelievable with the 4 corners of the state you cover... Tell me you have an old Subaru that gets 30mpg, or a Toyota Hilux Diesel 4x4 that gets 35mph or something... :bash: BTW Hilux are only available over seas and Canada... Diesel is bad for the environment! :bash:
In NZ and Australia most hunters are driving 4 door crew cab diesel toyota hilux pickups, great mileage (35ish) and you can seat 4 people. I thought about buying one and shipping it over. Can't be that bad on the environment, or NZ would nebver allow them. Over there, half the autos on the road are diesel.

Hey now do not be dissin the lattes! That is hitting below the belt.
I would bring my lattes over and watch wolves with Idabooner and Bone any day if I could. Instead I just enjoy the pics, lol.
Thank you both
Post by: Idabooner on February 21, 2010, 01:21:44 PM
As the sun comes up and hits the open side hill it's very easy to see whats over there from my big window so every morning I check it out, the deer have been gathering a few more every day for a week, the green is just starting to show as the snow melts. I talked to Boneaddict the other day and he told me when he tangled with the wolf a few years ago the deer were in a tight bunch, from prior experience I've been watching for the eagles.
I spotted the deer, 38 of them in a loose bunch up in the rocky part that I never seen them graze in before, there was a lot of hill to the left that they are usually on but not this morning, with the bino's I rechecked my count and was putting them away when I notice an eagle circling straight across, and sitting there was a wolf #2 big as day, I screemed at my wife to set the spotting scope up, 50 ft. around to the right was #1 ripping on a deer carcass, in a while #2 kept edging up until #1 accepted him at the kill, about that time #3 showed up but stayed back. Soon there was 3 bald and one golden eagles, lots of magpies and ravens harassing the wolves, a wolf would make a run at the eagle and some one else would get a few bites before he got back. #1 made a run at the golden which gave him some trouble, #2 got a big chunk of meat and went down hill with it but the eagles gave him so much trouble he carried it around the hill 200 yds. to a thick brushy creek bottom behind a guys house. #3 had managed to get a smaller piece away and eat some of it before one of two eagles got it. #4 had showed up by now, #1 got what looked like a quarter, It was big and had a leg and hoof on it, he carried it into the same brush to get away from the birds. #3 and #4 were ripping on what was left along with fighting with the eagles, #3 got a big chunk and headed for the brush, the golden eagle claimed the carcass, #4 would make a run at him but couldn't win by himself so he just went towards the brush and sit on the hill while the birds got their fill. A wolf, #2? come out of the brush and chased #4 around on the hill awhile, finally went to the kill, the eagles were full by that time and let him claim it, after awhile #4 kept getting closer until he was accepted, the two made short work of what was left and wondered back to the brush, the eagles carried what looked like pieces of guts off and the smaller birds took over. I had to be gone for an hour, when I got back there was nothing I could see with the spotter, not even a magpie. Sure wish Boneaddict could have been here with his camera.
The brush is so thick where the wolves took the carcass to get away from the birds no man would ever go there so nobody would ever find the bones from the kill. That explains to me why, a few years ago I watched 2 wolves work a deer out of the bunch and herd it into the creek bottom before they made the kill, they were very methodical about it and I couldn't figure why.

Well.......what do you think the odds are that they are actually Wolves, anything less than 100% is B.S.
So considering you were not there to see these coyotes through the spotting scope and take the pictures "in person" can you 100% say these are coyotes? If not than anything less than 100% is BS!
You sure are trolling. Makes me wonder what your problem is? You fall off the top bunk and hit your head? Or is it just pure entertainment for you to stir the pot and call people out that you don't even know? Are you trying to prove something with all your smarty pants comments? Or are you just looking for attention?

By the way Look like four of PUPS from last spring still not Brave enough to fight with Eagles. Sure when they grow and could KICK Eagle off. I am sure Mother of lookout pack is somewhere else find place to birth 3rd Litters! :bash:

If Idabooner says those are Wolves, I'm gonna buy that too! I believe that it's only a short matter of time before Doug gets good photos himself or sets dad up with a camara/lens capable of the capture.
Do Coyotes kill Deer? You bet, but not normally as a precision hunting team. They are opportunists that will cull out the weak in a herd. The fact that three adult Eagles were present harassing the Wolves is enough to make one feel that the doggies certainly weren't Coyote sized. -As even a large Alpha Coyote is no match for a Golden Eagle. The fact that a hierchy of status was observed when there was one Wolf at the carcas when another Wolf would approach. Coyotes don't hold such status within a pack.
Curious Idabooner, Is this pack hanging out on the southwest side of the highway (153) or north? How many miles between their current kill zone and the Manson Sheep summer grounds?
-Steve
Post by: Idabooner on February 22, 2010, 12:27:54 PM
There's others on here that has kept closer track of their range, I believe this pack runs Libby Cr. and over into Buttermilk, Carlton to Twisp. I believe there is a pack in the upper Twist River but don't know the boundaries. There is a pack on Gardner Mt., 9 wolves filed past an outfitter pack string in hunting season about four miles up Wolf Cr.
The wolves we have in the pictures and the ones I watched yesterday were west of 153, near Carlton.
Sorry I'm not familiar with the sheep range.

I'd actually love for someone to show me a picture of a coyote with its tail up flapping in the wind. I've yet to see that in my lifetime. LOL I am miserable that I wasn't up there this weekend, but I had to work. Guys are scooping sheds and wolves are killing everything else. MAN
I have seen this a couple of times. No picture, but occasionally they get them up there. Both times I have seen it is when a single was mousing in an alfalfa field. They were pretty excited and were eating well.

and all 7 played around until near dark when they disappeared in the canyon.
Yeah.. Just like a well grounded family having a good time at board games. :'(
Lets just hope they don't range farther toward the ridges of North and South Navaire. I don't like the fact that we now have to contend with the wolf for deer hunting seasons. But I would hate to see a couple packs of wolves descimate that sheep herd.
I haven't heard of livestock attacks in that area since last fall. I suppose because there's been enough deer in winter range for the wolves to eat, but what happens when the need for food makes the wolves more desparate?

Wish I had a camera, better yet wish Boneaddict or one of the other guys with a big lens could catch them. That must be in the wolves circle, that's the third time this year I've seen them near the same place. And others have seen them when I didn't so their around from time to time.

Idabooner.. Boneaddict... I've really been thinking about coming over there for a few days in the next couple of weeks. I've got some vacation to burn. -And I mean burn, as I'm over the limit for what I can carry into next year, and well.. With this government job, I'm still acrueing more daily. Anyway to get to the point, as soon as that pass is open, I wanna come watch doggies. As crazy as that sounds, as much as I hate the thought of them damn wolves in the hills killing deer, I want to learn as much as I can about them. Even if only watching them for a couple hours by chance one time. -And I'm NuckinFutz. I'll go walking that hillside looking for sheds! (I'll be packin!) Is that ridge/hillside public or private land? How's that area accessed.
Is there anywhere I can pull my camp trailer into, near, with view of that ridge? I've got a video camera to bring too.
PM or email, please.
