Pontiac Ridge

[Elkaholic daWg]

"Pontiac Ridge" is an eyesore to me.  Bunch of crazies from all corners is the best I can desrcribe it.  A place I have no desire to ever roam again.

 

Hate mongers!!! I would have spoiled the OP's   nature!

Looks like the majority on this thread took the bait, hook line and sinker from someone with one post...a thread obviously made to stir the pot

[jess]

are you sure it was a wolf?? Those bunny hugging mountain hippies up there have been raising hybreeds wolf/dogs for years and letting them go.. Its killing our deer population! Nothing natural about some wolf loving fried out hippie planting wolf dogs on pontiac ridge..

Just the name "Pontiac Ridge" sounds like a place pot smoking hippies would live, and I've never even heard of the place until now.

Lol. It's been so long and I forgot I ever posted this thread. I usually never log in. I juts like reading everyone's topics in the deer hunting section. I was new to the site and just said what I saw without thinking it would make anyone think I'm crazy or worse make anyone irritated. I was in a stand that was already existing on the property.  It was the first fall after I bought it. When I was hiking around the property to check all the survey stakes I had noticed a foul smell off of an old skid road. Found the smell and it was a very large dog. Too big to be a coyote and not one to be of the domesticated type. I would say it could have been 75 lbs or larger. It had a pass threw shot through its vitals. I didn't have a camera or think to bring one. It was located at the north east corner of the property that bordered a neighboring 20 ac piece to the north and DNR directly east. After we had bought the property I went back to it a week later. Hiked up to that corner where I found that large dog and found that there were absolutely no remains of it but within a 10 foot radius was another large dog dead with a pass through shot of its vitals, that again looked like it was 75lbs or larger. I've seen pictures of Grey Wolves and these two I had seen looked like spitting images. Fast forward to archery opener and witnessed a large dog that looks like a grey wolf chasing a white tail fawn.

To be ridiculed for saying nature unspoiled, well I guess me being there spiked nature but I was merely just saying because I'd never witnessed mother any close to that experience in the wild. Again call bulls hit but I've got nothing to lie about I don't gain anything by that. Just saw the topic of wolves and would see if it's possible that they were. These dogs dwarfed coyotes so whether they are yocal hybrids or the real thing thought it wouldn't hurt any to put my observations on the wolf topic to let the ones with the expertise give me an idea what I was seeing. 

Also, didn't know any history of Pontiac Ridge before buying.  It's been pretty peaceful so far but have heard some stories for sure.  I'm within the vicinity of where Pontiac Ridge Rd continues passed the turn for cow camp road runs north. Didn't mean to offend anyone. I dislike wolves for similar reasons you all have as well.

We have a place off cow camp. Not sure if its cause I'm just as nutty but they leave me alone. Have had a few stare downs but nothing more. Seems the game population has been going down last few years. Probably with all the access from the mine. Fortunately haven't seen wolves up there.

The "ridge" has had some recent history. Funny no one mentioned it this time around. Anybody remember this story from last year?

Just spent four days in Seattle, traveling up and down Aurora Ave just about every two blocks, a pot shop

It did answer one question though, Why are the service workers so rude and ignorant??

No more "smoke" breaks, only "dope time" I think!!  One gal was so concerned about getting to her "break" couldn't even get my order of six chicken tenders correct!!

AND THEY think they deserve $15 per hour!!

So how did the shooting of the grouse hunter end, haven't heard if there ever was an arrest.

Father and son team was arrested on multiple counts, booked and jailed. Charged with murder. One trial was set and then delayed. Last info I could find was that they had a trial set for April this year. Couldn't find much after that.

Pretty sure there was a big article about the case in this weekends paper.  Pretty sure the outcome wasn't good for the killer.
