In January of last year a relative was haunting elk in Winston unit with a friend who had a special cow tag. They came across 5 wolf tracks in the snow. They put a 300 win mag shell in the tracks and took pics. WDFW even admitted they were wolf tracks and said possibly wolf Haven had released some. LOL
2 years ago a friend had a late season archery cow tag for Toutle. He was in some timber with his friend from Alaska when a small pack started howling near them. His friend has been around wolves his entire life and without any question knew what they were.
A coworker who is from SW Wa told me he has a close relative who was personally involved in the planting of the 4 breeding pairs recently.
The nay sayers can say what they want. That's cool with me but these are credible people. I've talked to others who have seen wolves on the west side but their stories are a little iffy.

Kris,
Hope you won't think I'm picking on you, but if you've read my posts for any length of time you know I strive to post accurate and credible information. That said, credible sources have names of people who can supply locations, dates, and pertinent data that supports the credibility of the claim. Without some corroborating evidence, your assertion is hearsay and still falls short of being credible.
BTW, I'm neither for nor against wolves being in the Winston unit. I'd just like to know the facts. Hope you can appreciate that.
