According to the little brains that are running the wolf show in the Methow Valley there aren't any wolf packs here with GPS collars, even though people have seen packs with at least one wolf wearing the GPS collars. The lookout pack has frequency collars, and of course they are the only pack of six or seven in the Valley. Amazing how fast six or seven wolves can slaughter the hell out of the deer.

Post by: mountainman1 on January 19, 2010, 10:46:45 AM: According to my surveillance crews in Okanogan County they use the same collars on the Lookout Pack as some use on their hounds. You need a receiver with antenna that receives a signal from the collared animal. The WDFW claims only one wolf pack in the Methow Valley until they can prove themselves by their means of trapping or sitings. Maybe they need some of the locals to do some trapping and collaring for them :chuckle:
I am also hearing through surveillance that there are wolves on the Colville Indian Reservation, they are working the elk heard that is located on the eastern half of the Rez. :yike: More Wolves :yike:

Post by: carpsniperg2 on January 19, 2010, 01:37:20 PM: that is one thing that i am for, the tribes should shoot all of them on site "like there ansestors did" and shoot all the dam seals also. they are about the only ones who can with there own laws. i won't say more because it is the net.

Great idea Mountainman, think maybe I will get one of those receivers and antenna and start tracking the lookout pack. Maybe you and I could get some good shots in, with the camera. :yike: I have and Idea. I pm'd you

Post by: boneaddict on January 20, 2010, 12:22:38 PM: I've been surveying th Colville wolves myself. Its curious that one of them has a bright red collar. He must have picked it up in BC on his way down. I had one of them surveying me for several hours last year and I didn't know it until I finally spotted him and he was gone. I backtracked him for quite a distance. I didn't see them/ sign of them this fall, but talked to a local who knew where they had moved to or where they were constantly being seen. I asked him to shoot it for me if he saw it, he said no doubt he would. :)

Post by: wolfbait on January 20, 2010, 03:01:36 PM: :chuckle: :chuckle:, At the wolf group meeting in Okanogan, the wolf people really didn't want to get into a discussion of how the tribe felt about the wolves chewing up their elk herd. To bad WDFW can't be honest with the people of Washington. I guess maybe they under estimated the number of folks that get out of the office and into the woods, and who have seen their collared wolves, they can only call BS so many times.

Post by: mountainman1 on January 20, 2010, 10:40:39 PM: :dunno:I often wonder if these people who work in the WDFW really know who they work for :dunno: They work for you and I, the people who buy hunting and fishing license's and all the tags and punch cards that go with your license's. You would think with all of these eyes in the woods they the employees of the department would stop and talk to one of those people "Hunters" or a local in the woods, hey what have you seen of your meaning the hunters wolves? We have givin them the athority to protect and serve. They need to start doing the job we ask them to do. Come on out and talk to us wood ya :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle:
