as long as it wasn't the other way around

My father in law has seen wolves on short and dirty, and i spoke t a guy late elk season last year on pinegrass who said he has seen a female with a radio collar near section 3 lake.

Great to see they have their own special defender in Yakima

 

That picture looks like there is little to much heavy petting going on.

Pretty sure I heard a wolf in the Little Naches last weekend.

When you hear a wolf there is no pretty sure about it, it will send chills down your spine and you will say out loud, "Holy S@#t!  That was a wolf".

So from reading your story, you are eager to poach a wolf. Doesnt seem right. Wolves are good for the ecosystems. Leave them alone

Hope your really not that ignorant but you do make sure everyone knows what a great saver of garbage you are and what slobs hunters are without knowing who really left the trash. Seems like you are batting for the other side so maybe not ignorant just an anti at heart

Subagang707 - You sir did the right thing, I see nothing wrong with what you did except what Boneaddict mentioned lol. Thanks for the story and post the pics.

Thank you sir for your 22 years of service.

Naches Sportsman - You are clueless.

Have noticed a recovery of the deer herds the past 3 years  in Yakima, Kittitas after the devastating. Loss to hair loss disease . So much for the deer and elk herds in Yakima and Kittitas.

Mind boggling a few supposed lovers of wildlife (sportsmen) celebrate the introduction of Canadian grey wolves
Into this area after what has happened in ID, MT  WY and NE Washington

I see nothin' wrong with hazing those mutts....

Interesting that some are blaming the WDFW for wanting more wolves. When I spoke with them about my sighting they implied something different. Right now they have no jurisdiction concerning wolves as long as they are listed by the Feds. WDFW said they want all the reports they can get so they can document as many as possible. If they document enough, wolves can be de-listed in the state and WDFW can set up a tag system to hunt some. Maybe I got fed a line of BS, but I get the feeling WDFW would just as soon not deal with this any more than we do.

Hey, what the heck do any of us know, look how well wolves have helped to balance the ecosystem in Yellowstone.  Yeah, its worked really well, the Elk population is down 70%, but hey, they say the beaver population is up and they give credit to the wolves for that.  Brilliant!!!

"When you hear a wolf there is no pretty sure about it, it will send chills down your spine and you will say out loud, "Holy S@#t!  That was a wolf."

That's what happened. I only say that I am pretty sure it was a wolf because the sound that I heard didn't sound like any of the wolf howls you hear on tv or the internet. It was nothing I have ever heard before. Definitely a canine and not yippy like a coyote. The other evidence that points in the direction of a wolf is that the bull elk that had been bugling all night and morning directly above our camp shut up as soon as I heard this "wolf." He had literally had been bugling two minutes prior and as soon as I heard this noise that elk shut up. I never heard from him again.

I'm pretty sure it was a wolf.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe I read some where that the wolf's are de-listed by the Feds and are listed as Endangered by WA state.

[boneaddict]

I believe that is correct Gasman.  Its in the states hands, at least in Eastern Washington.   Might be different on the Westside.
