I guess I got bad info.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Are the people who made the claims working with wdfw to confirm weather these were wolves or NOT wolves? Or did they just post something on the internet and allow assumptions of how situations such as this are handled? Hmmm......

I think they are just people taking a picture in their back yard and sharing it on Facebook.

Yeah, you are right.  Just incite fear of children's safety. Also all of the mid slinging on here.

The person who took the photo said they reported it to WDFW. They seem pretty adamant that it was a wolf. I am not so sure they are wolves as it is a stones throw away from town and plenty of houses and farms in the area for other folks to see them  :dunno:. Also it is right by the Limn Kiln Trail, popular county park hiking trail. There have been reports of wolves over the years near here and up the Loop but nothing substantial that I know of. One report came from a LEO saying he saw a black one. There is a ton of private timberland, state land and federal land in the area so who knows. It wouldn't surprise me.

@jackelope I've heard the same thing about hybrids around here also.

I saw 4 wolves a stones throw away from Sedro Woolley almost 20 years ago... proximity means nothing.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

A woman was cited for releasing hybrids around the same time.

Link to the story from KIRO. Location stated in the story is different than the location given by the person who took the photo so I think KIRO got that wrong. Not much info though.
 
https://www.kiro7.com/news/north-sound-news/wolves-may-be-moving-to-western-washington/863347341?fbclid=IwAR025M_T7VSnLK3LEZ7WhVtLBa7CocwM0_BY53Mb1wDMrj8IdGzZ1wbB-8I

Edit. After watching this again it sounds like this story was a second sighting from the OP photo sighting. Says it was near Pilchuck Highlands. Not sure exactly where that is.

So possibly 2 sighting  :dunno:
