I'd rather have them in King County than Lewis county. Maybe they can eat some anti hunting wolf lovers.

Any wolf in King county should be down town Seattle and Olympia and clean up where cleaning up needs to take place. Then maybe we can get our ungulates back.
Me thinks it will get worse before it will get better.

I would believe anything. Looking at these particular tracks what strikes me is the acute lack of stride. Wolves don't tend to walk or stroll, they tend to jog, and they tend to have a much longer stride. Thats hard to determine in the pics.
Agreed. The Pic I took this morning. It has two way forward and back. there is two other trax washed off by someone car or truck on their way to work. It has to be four or so.
I hope I am wrong.... I remember how Wolf walk, Run, and playing way I can tell how Tracks look like.
Lookout Pack Male Trax is Smaller than one what I cut today this morning. :yike: Tracks werent there Sunday evening around 9ish and So I believe it wasnt a Dog.
I am going add two pictures from last year. Good Example how to look between King County Tracks and Look Out Pack Tracks.
It only has very tiny blanket of snow in this spot and rest of them all gone. Hard for me to prove it.
By the way I sent info to G.d. and two bio and one musketshoot Tribe Bio. I expect them to call us back if they feel important or not.

Hope they are dog..... :bash:
Agreed. I hope its a just big dog. Gamedept has been email back forward so he will keep track on those area and keep open ear or eye on tracks. They possible travel thur black diamond or cumberland or rear cedar fall or going up east cascade or head to snoq hancock. Who knows where they are.
I hope to not bother u people, wish it would just a big dog. I drove by at 9pm sunday not there as i know for sure and on monday morning I cut it at 430 am. Its obviouly not dog.

My Guess probably been there all along, who knows.
We never lost as much as a calf from predators, except the 2 legged variety!

I noticed when my border collie walks her back paws overlay the tracks of her front paws so you rarely see a clean track. Is this typical of dogs? I know bears do that sometimes.
IT LLOKS LIKE THE TRACKS THAT OVERLAP ARE GOING IN OPOSITE DIRECTIONS :dunno:
Post by: mulehunter on December 21, 2010, 07:45:15 PM
Time to set up a few trail cams in that area....
I would love to do it but I dont have any time for this. I wanna KILL Cougar before Quote met.

The wolf howl came about an hour after dark during the elk rut. It was one of those rare calm nights with lots of elk bugling and coyotes yipping that just mesmerizes you. I was just kicked back on the jeep hood enjoying the evening serenade when the wolf howled. No mistaking it. Everything went dead quiet after a top predator anounced it's presence. Still a powerful memory for me.

At this point, my wife is like :yike: and was ready to get out of Dodge. I can honestly say I was feeling the hair on the back of my neck. I did record some of it, I will have to see if I can find it tonight.

Back in the mid 80s (1980's) a good friend of mine drove loggin' truck out of Snoqualmie when they were logging high up behind the watershed. He and several other drivers said they would hear wolves howling just after dark. Heard them in the same area most times. One of the drivers claimed he saw a couple out in a clearcut one winter, looked like they were feeding on something.
Was back in that area Monday w/ my dad, while we were driving through he quickly told me to stop, jumped out with my binos and kept saying he could have sworn he'd seen a wolf about 30 yards off the road. I chuckled it off... but you never know
