Saw a central Washington Wolf this weekend
« on: March 20, 2018, 02:58:20 PM »
He was not far from the road and didn't spook until my brothers bike was within 20 yards. He jumped the creek, ran a log and then I got the video camera on him.

Doesn't look like he's missed too many venison meals.

Correct, but it didn't affect the deer or elk population according to WDFW, so we are good.

Wow. Cool video. I had a game campic of one about 4-5 years ago in 328. They are there no doubt.

GMU 328

Saw their tracks in the same unit in the fresh snow this last week. 4 if them. One booner set. Cleared the bulls I was watching off their ridge. ☹️

Fresh tracks again the past few days... along with one impressive set of cougar tracks! Those poor elk! 🙈
No kills located... aside from an older elk carcass with the antlers sawed off. Lots of ridgetop traveling for those dogs though. Sure would make a pretty photo, Plat. 😝

Wolves with that color coat are usually from the Teanaway pack. Last I checked there were 11 total in that pack.

They hang out in 335 and 328. I've seen them up in the Navaho Peak basin, Miller Peak basin, and have heard that they even end up in the ALW during the summer. They are in 328 most of the winter and early spring according to the bio in charge of tracking the collared pack members.
