Ran into 4 bow hunters today and they swear they saw a wolf near Beaver Canyon near Chesaw yesterday. No pictures, just a sighting. It's probably the one/ones I saw and was told about from the ranchers I know over there.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Hey, not really sure what info it good info, but a buddy and I were bear hunting southeast of Devil's Tailbone in GMU 175 on Friday, Sept 23.  We were using a digital caller hoping to get lucky and about 200yds away, a grey wolf came out of the tree line.  It was too dry to get tracks, and only one wolf was seen.  We were approx 500 yds from our campsite that was a large open gravel pit for camping.  After I stood up to get a better look, the wolf walked into the valley and was gone.  Later that night we heard howling, but couldn't determine if it was a coyote or wolf.......hope that helps

I took this pic 9/18/2011 about a 1/4 mile from Snow lake on Cold water trail 211 (boundary trail for the 522 and 524 GMU's). It had been raining all day and there were no human tracks.  :dunno:

Last year ran into a lone dog up in sherman pass.  Didn't seem that big, i guess the way people talk about them i expected them to be bigger.  That would be GMU 101

Found some old wolf s h i t on Mica.   I talked to the checkpoint guy for IEP and asked if he knew if there were wolves there or not.  He said yes, in fact he listened to them howling a couple days earlier, and a hunter had seen one cross the road about 1/4 above the checkpoint.   I though that was interesting.  Someone else who owns a cabin on the Idaho side of that had seen 3.

My father and I were hunting in GMU 673 for elk back in 1994 on opening day of modern fire arm season. We walked down an old spur road and were standing at the end of the road on the edge of the timber. After about 30 minutes of standing in the poaring down rain we saw a Cyotee step out onto the spur road and zig zag back and fourth across the spur road smelling our tracks. We thought about shooting it, but it was opening day. We did not want to spook anything around the area, as we knew there was a large elk herd there. About 1 hour after we saw the Cyotee, we looked over and saw a very large grey wolf standing broadside looking at us. He was clearly a wolf, as he was less than 30 yards from us. We both said "holy *censored*! what is that? is that a wolf?" The wolf stood standing looking at us, as if he or she had never encoutered a human being before. He then trouted off up the spur road smelling our tracks like the Cyotee did an hour prior. We were all the way up in the H Line in the Nemah area. Later that night we went to the local tavern in Naselle. We mentioned the sighting to a couple of local loggers, whom confirmed they had seen wolves in the Nemah and Naselle areas over the years. We spoke with a few other locals and they said we saw a Cyotee or were full of *censored*. Now 20 years later; it is a known thing that wolves are in the Nemah and Naselle area. Some claim they have always been there, others claim the game department has been planting them there for years.

 :yeah:  Wow, I don't know what you saw.  Wolves know how to walk a long ways.  They haven't been planting wolves anywhere in Washington, ever.

You could have seen a wolf on a walk about from Canada, a huge coyote, a big hybrid or a  huge dog like an Anatolian Shepard.

Well you shouldn't beleive everything the game department tells you. I guarentee they have at least attempted to plant wolves in Washington. You can tell me that the wolves in central WA, which are known packs (confimed) just migrated down from Canada or came over from Idaho. That is a long haul. Your trying to tell me that they ran out of animals to eat in Canada and Idaho, so they said to themselves "hey, lets go to WA" "I heard they have lots of food there". C'mon! I beleive that some of the wolves have probably been here for decades upon decades and are now making a come back. I also beleive the game department has planted a few of them. I also beleive that we live in a state of tree huggers, who probably got access to some wolves and planted them themselves. I also beleive that some did come in from Canada and Idaho, but I'm not sold on that all of them just started to make a come back with out the help of somebody or some organization. That would be being naive! Like the game department is going to announce they are planting wolves. Cmon! They can't win regardless. A topic of that sensitivity is not going to have the game department on one side or the other. They will simply play neutral and play dumb and tell everyone what they want to hear to keep them happy.

The Department of Fish and Wildlife would not be planting wolves. No way. I don't believe it. Some private whacko wolf lover groups, maybe. But not the WDFW, whose jobs depend on hunting license fees. I don't think they want the wolves here anymore than we do.

The game department as a whole might not want wolves here but I bet there are quite a few WDFW biologists and bureaucrats that do.....

Have a retired pastor staying at the Lodge and he saw a black wolf cross the Hunters _ Springdale road yesterday . He does know what a wolf looks like. He said it was very large. Location was a little ways from the summit on the Hunters side.   FYI
