Probably not the same ones though. :chuckle: But yeah, they've been in there for quite a while, twenty years at least. Who knows, they may have never been totally eradicated from the north Cascades, that would be my guess. The Forest Service had signs up at the same time we saw the wolves asking people to notify them of any wolf sightings. So they knew they were there.

Talked to wardens before but say they must have just been coyotes because there's no wolves there. Yada yada yada. Just like there's no moose over there right? :chuckle:

Can you provide the GMU number, date seen, and an approximate location, I will add your info to the wolf tally. FYI - There are people who are watching our tally, it's good for us to provide as much info as possible on wolf locations. THANKS

Contact the biologists or the region office, not the game wardens.
