Where are the USFWS-WDFW wolves?

[wolfbait]

Nothwest of Leahy junction- ten wolves were seen crossing the highway, six of them were pups.

Here's your chance to confirm another wolf pack WDFW! Oh That's right, according to Conservation NW, WDFW are too broke to monitor and confirm wolf packs.

Call WDFW and ask, why they continually refuse to confirm known wolf packs?

WB, where is Leahy junction?

[villageidiot]

Leahy junction is aprox. 12 miles south east of Bridgeport on highway 17.   There's a real well kept ranch right next to the highway that raises hereford cattle.

wolves LOVE herefords

Well maybe the WFW chapters need to get some fund raising going to get these packs confirmed. Hell if every member on this site donated 20 bucks that would be over $300,000.

[Duffer]

It would be funded if they wanted verifications, but they don't. As long as pack verification is delayed (by any means possible), more packs can form up and they never have to put the brakes on wolf-ifying the state.

Full speed ahead

A friend saw a collared female, a male and 4 pups over in the rimrock unit.  How come that pack hasn't been confirmed if they have the radio collar on it ?  We reported it on the website. 

[Ridgerunner]

What part of the rimrock unit?  Pm if you prefer, having a cabin there, that is very discerning.

Over by pinegrass.  I also believe that someone posted on here over the summer seeing a pair of adults a grey female and black male.  My friend said the female was grey and the male was black but not they have pups with them.

What we really need is a FOI request to the WDFW, USFS, and NOAA about their wolf collaring programs... You may ask why NOAA... NOAA has the satalight that nearly all of the collaring data is run through for all state agencies and many non profits as well.

I think it would be a good idea if WDFW could put on a map on the web that shows where the collared wolfs are.  I don't mean the exact location but at a low resolution (like a township) so people know how many are collared and where they are generally located.  Remember the Oregon game dept. did that for the wolf that wandered down the Cascades into N. Cali?

Also, if WDFW knows there is a collared wolf in any area where no confirmed packs are and they are getting reports of a pack with a collared wolf In said area, I would have someone working the area right now.  No excuse if they arn't.

I think you are missing the point, WDFW doesn't want anyone to know how many wolves are in WA. Just here in the Methow Valley, WDFW claim there is just one wolf pack and the collars don't work. In reality the Methow has several wolf packs, either that or the largest wolf pack ever recorded.

My bet is the largest pack ever recorded! LOL They have a steady diet of deer, definatley have ate up the states biggest herd.

they've been there for months, state has been made aware but nothing has came of it.
