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.

Your experience of wolves doesn't reflect their historic patterns across the globe. Worldwide, the pattern of wolves is unmistakable. In countries, especially those which have disarmed their populus, where wolves have not learned to fear humans, wolves get closer to the people until they eventually start attacking them. Look at the patterns in Siberia, where about every 30 years, military teams are tasked with removing packs that have habituated to surviving off human garbage, livestock, and pets, eventually move on to human prey. These patterns are repeated is Kazakhstan, Iran, Scandinavia. Even northern Ontario is having huge problems with wolves decimating the domestic caribou herds and human/wolf contact is growing. It's been almost 20 years that wolves have lived unmolested in WA and it won't be long before they start attacking people. I'm not looking forward to it but it will happen until we start killing them and showing them that interacting with humans is dangerous. Delisting wolves in WA is way past due.

Some folks are a little uneducated on some of the human-wolf interactions lately.  This is not even close to an unreasonable circumstance.

 
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Doesn't surprise me and I don't doubt this will become more common. Also doesn't surprise me that some of the hugging moderators try to down play this.

Riiiight.
I’m going to predict very strong odds of it happening again during the week of August 5th, possibly in the Teanaway. 



What the heck makes that worth a thousand bucks? Maybe I'll put together a wolf tracking class for 750. Who is even going to sign up for that?

I remember back when I was a kid i heard a story about a girl walking to her grandmas for a visit and when she got there there was a wolf that had eaten her grandma and was still there.
You can look it up and read for yourself😆

I just saw a post on the Facebook calling it a “wolf attack.”  Seemed like a stretch to me. Who knows if they had her “treed” or if she saw the wolves and climbed a tree while simultaneously peeing herself. I’ve seen enough “grizzly bear encounters” which are actually blond or cinnamon phase black bear encounters to know that sometimes things get blown out of proportion, especially on social media.
:yeah:
Glad she's ok...but not a lot of details about what transpired.

The article mentioned something about deputies being "authorized" to shoot the wolves.  News flash...ANY animal threatening your or another persons life can be killed by any of us...there is no permission or "authorization" needed from anyone else. :twocents:

Turns out she was surrounded by chipmunks chirping at her and not wolves after all.

Our cabin was near there and I saw wolf tracks 3 years ago in that area.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

It's been almost 20 years that wolves have lived unmolested in WA and it won't be long before they start attacking people.

Well said (as usual Pman) but just to correct/clarify one thing: It's been longer than 20 years that wolves have gone unmolested in WA. 

Wolves have definitely been in the state for almost 30 years now (maybe longer).  I saw a pack back in 1991.  And that pack was known to exist by WDFW since they had warning signs posted near trail-heads.  So, they've had a long time to hang out and not be shot or trapped or otherwise molested.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Well, we'll see more of this shortly. Thanks for the correction.  :tup:

Wilderness Awareness School is in Duvall.  It's a group of hippies teaching classes on how to be hippies, preferably without shoes. I see multiple people each year moving to Duvall to attend the school.

Here's the wolf class info.  There was a map at one point, but I can't find it now. I believe the class will take place in the Teanaway area.

"How to survive as a vegan in the woods." Good luck! This should be interesting. I wonder if firearms are allowed. Likely not.

Just curious why is this story a dramatization or fabricated? Any proof of that? I don't believe everything I read but I also don't discredit them either off a guess!  :twocents:

Some people are naturally suspicious of the press. Some people refuse to believe that the cuddly wolf is a danger to man at all. I believe you're seeing a mixture of those being played out here.
