Pack lives about 90 miles east of Seattle .

This makes the fourth resident wolf pack in the state, and the second known pack of wolves in the Cascade Mountains ...

...

The gray wolf is protected throughout Washington as a state endangered species. In the western two-thirds of Washington, the species is also federally protected under the Endangered Species Act.

I live in VERY Western Washington, glad none of these predators are near my farm, I have enough to worry about with coyotes and cougars.

It's only a matter of time before the wolves kill somebody in Washington state, just like that jogger in Alaska last year.

That poor woman. What a terrible death.

[John S Mosby]

For just a moment I thought there might be hope in Washington-—D.C.! And then, I thought North Carolina State might have something to say about this!!

Recall the teacher killed in AK while jogging. It was a wolf pack and she was running and they chased, and then chowed.
(sorry, pun not intended).

Wolves are very cool as long as you are not raising livestock around them, a backpacker, hunter, concerned about wild horses, pet owner, parent of small children in a wilderness area, or fisherman.

I thought they were in Raleigh.

Stop it! We should quit wining - they’re nature’s creatures that share the planet with us. And, after all, there are plenty of us to spare./s

Or an outdoorsman in general. If you live in San Francisco or D.C., they are wonderful.

Reintroducing the wolf into the West will go down in history as one of the most monumentally stupid acts of all time. There is a reason that wiser past generations got rid of them.

Or breathing.

I hunted the Malheur National Forest in Eastern Oregon for Elk in 1997. In 1998 a couple of mature Grizzlies trapped a ranger in his truck on the next range to the North of that area, and they had not been seen since 1905 south of the Dalles. We were told by folks in the know that the bears had been re-introduced on the QT.

In 2007, I hunted Mount Adams in Southern Washington for elk, without taking precautions for large predators other than carrying my .375-338. Now they’ve got wolves being managed by the same people that have let the cats and black bears by kill off the young elk, decimating their money making elk herds. (The last stats that I saw for Washington showed a 15% tag fill on elk.)

At least Montana tells its hunters about the possibility of running into bears and wolves so they won’t have a fatal surprise.

Mankind and wolfkind CANNOT coexist.

American individualists and socialists CANNOT coexist.

Christians and homosexualists CANNOT coexist.

I could go on but I'm listening to classic lounge music so I must now relax...

[goat granny]

Isn’t there some liberal city full of eco-nuts in Washington? Maybe the wolf’s are after them....(we should tag the liberals so the wolf’s know who would make a tender snack....)

[Flycatcher]

Thanks for the ping!

>I have enough to worry about with coyotes and cougars<

I would rather face the cougars and wolves than face another blithering liberal moron from the people’s republik of Seattle.

[Cold Heart]

I just looked it up. Apparently forest fires have driven grizzlies into Eastern Oregon. There are plans to hunt them down.

High power, large magazine, semi auto or assault rifles may be the next popular hunting rifle.

“Reintroducing the wolf into the West will go down in history as one of the most monumentally stupid acts of all time.”

IIRC, the re-introduction of the gray wolf to the Lower 48 was the brainchild of one Hillary Ramrod Klintoon.
