Are wolves that rare in this state? Why so protective?
This man had no choice, and he was being actively stalked by a pack of three wolves. He should have kept his mouth shut.
I saw a wolf two summers ago by Rimrock Lake in WA State, central cascades. Very rare, and I was surprised, because I didn’t think they existed period in WA State. But I asked some nearby hunters, because it was huge in comparison to a Coyote.
Did the wolf make any noise? A growl or woof?
It was self declaring that it was an elk.
The area where I live used to be home to an elk herd 20,000 strong, which is now numbered (by the corrupt fish & game department) at about 3,000.
The reintroduction of the Canadian wolf was launched in the 80's by a rabidly politicized U.S. Fish & Wildlife Department, with a long-term goal of driving ranchers, farmers, hunters and outfitters off the land.
They have certainly had that effect on the elk.
