Good local Wolverine video.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a wolf twice in almost the same spot, a couple years apart. On the west slope of the Cascades. I won't be divulging where. Yeah, a few wolves show up and the entire state's deer population crashes...not buying it. Hysteria and misinformation and a mindset that is outdated by about 100 years.

I’ve got the most difficult of the Ws, but have yet to see a wolf. I was very fortunate to see a wolverine (crossing the road) on Mt.Hood in 2011. I also saw a fisher while bc skiing on Mt. Hood in 1982. I have yet to see a wolf. Can’t wait!

Saw my first Wolverine in the Gold Creek drainage north and East of Sandpoint Idaho three years ago. Actually, it was a mother and a kit. Saw one last winter near the Slocan Chief cabin in BC. We have a lot of wolves in eastern Washington, Idaho, and Montana. First pack I saw was up on Lolo Pass in Montana. Saw another pack more recently on 20 Odd Peak in the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness. No one over here would be surprised to find a pack on the outskirts of Spokane. More impressive, however, was my sighting up close of a Grizzley Bear on a mountain, again in the Cabinets, called Pulpit Mountain. I had bear spray close at hand but would have had no chance to use had that bear decided to come at me rather than run away! Extremely fast animal, I,m sure it went from 0 to 40 mph in a couple steps.

We saw a wolverine while ski touring above Headlight Basin in June 2012. We reported it to WDFW, who confirmed it was a big male. Two NWHiker friends saw it a couple weeks later on Sixty Six Hundred Ridge. WDFW trapped it and put a radio collar on it. WDFW claimed that it was the southernmost confirmed PNW wolverine sighting in 40 years.

You sure about that? https://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/health/cwd/ The article may be a couple years old, but I sure haven't ever heard of more than one case recently. I googled CWD in our state and came up with no documentation. I do think that one deer was found with it but can't recall where. Are you confusing CWD with the hoof disease that is in the SW Warshington elk? Wolve, bears, cougars, and people all kill deer for food. Increase one and it is obvious that deer mortality will increase. You have overlooked the changing of land from winter habitat into homes and vacation homes. Look at the Methow Valley for an example of this. We used to see a wolverine up in the Bonaparte Lake area. It would be dead from old age by now.

wolverine track?

i saw this on the white chuck glacier last august. it looked too big to be a marmot, it didn't look like it had the bear paw pad below the nails, so i thought it could possibly be a wolverine. who knows, but it fun to think about as i made my way up the glacier.

I never report endangered species sightings, game sightings, unusual fish reports, or spotted owl sightings here as jerks monitor this sight and kill them.
