sure is alot of sightings where i live. Wondering when i will see one from the house. A wolf did kill a neighbors dog last winter.
Hound hunters sure have had to change there game.

That's a pretty cool website, will come in handy when we head to ID for some elk hunting. Thanks for posting Squirrel tail!

One of our legislators from the Spokane area offered to sponsor a bill in the state house which would authorize trapping and release of wolf packs to the west side of the cascades in the Seattle area, and Oh boy, did the above-mentioned groups have their underwear in a wad!!

I seriously doubt we'll ever see the state try to reintroduce the Mexican wolf here. They resemble coyotes too closely and the state dishes out to much money in tax exemptions for predation control.

All you have to do is look at New Mexico & Arizone where it has not been too successful. Lots of SSS going on there.

Check out the 2nd paragraph about the NPS policy on restoring "native" species. Also the 3rd paragraph about projected percentages of prey species affected. I wonder what the real numbers are now.
