Wolves tree DNR worker in Okanogan county
« on: July 12, 2018, 06:15:44 PM »
Anybody catch the story?  They just reported it as breaking news on KHQ.  I can't find a link online yet but apparently a pack chased a student worker up a tree today up by Tiffany Springs.

DNR employees aren't allowed to carry firearms.

They have DNR police which are armed, but they're far and few between.

 :yeah:

Those were just extra big coyotes according to the state wolf maps which have no wolf packs in that area.🤣

Just a matter of time before something worse happens, that area from Boulder creek north into 20 mile is infested with cougars, we saw 4 up in there along with over 20 cached cat kills. Have heard rumors from some folks I know of wolves running around in there also, a buddy of mine saw 2 black and a gray one up by Freezout pass a year ago, it won't be long before the Methow herd is just a memory. Glad the young lady is ok, with predators running rampant over there it may be a good idea to arm these folks so they at least have a fighting chance, as I said it is just a matter of time. I have told the story before but we showed a video of one to a Game guy back in the early 90,s, the dang thing was twice the size of my black lab and it came down an embankment, stood in the road facing us head on with its head down trying to stare us down. It was about 20-25 yards away and we were yelling at it, whistling and throwing rocks, it eventually just walked to the other side of the road and dropped over the side. We showed them the video and their response was "there are no wolves in the area, just a really healthy coyote". My dad who had spent as much time in Alaska as he had in Washington basically called BS, he told them he had seen hundreds of wolves in his lifetime and there was no way that was a yote, he even told them in fact that the one we videod was bigger than some of the wolves he had seen in Alaska. Where we saw that wolf in the early 90,s was about 5 miles(as the crow flyies) from where this young lady had the run in, once again, glad she is safe.

First of all it may be true. I have no idea I wasn’t there. It just seems a little far fetched. In my opinion I bet she ran into the wolves and got scared so she climbed a tree. When she radioed for help she probably told them she was surrounded so she wouldn’t look like an idiot. But again just my thoughts. I have personally come across wolves many times and they have never showed any aggression.

The article says that when the rescue helicopter showed up, the wolves were still there.

She was treed........   Unless you think the helicopter crew id fake news.
