On 12 July, 2018, a salmon researcher was treed by a pack of wolves in a Washington state wilderness area. She tried pepper spray and yelling, but the pack surrounded her and she climbed a tree. She later climbed down, only to find the wolves still there. She scrambled back up the tree and called for rescue, about 12:30 p.m. From capitalpress.com:
Washington wildlife managers initially opposed sending a helicopter or a search-and-rescue team to save a woman treed by wolves in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, according to recordings and summaries of emergency calls obtained Tuesday.
The Department of Natural Resources pushed back and prepared to dispatch an air crew that eventually executed a swift rescue. Notes from a call between DNR dispatcher Jill Jones and a wildlife officer summarized WDFW’s position, and her position, shortly before the helicopter launched.
“No helicopter. Federally listed species. 3 WDFW personnel saying so,” according to DNR’s call log.
“We are more concerned for her life than the listed animal,” Jones told the officer. “He indicated that she is safe up in the tree. … I told him that we do not know how safe she is. I don’t know how stout the tree is, and if the limbs will continue to hold her or how long she can hold on.”
A helicopter crew, in aircraft N338WN, finally rescued the woman later in the day. The crew consisted of four men, who from all reports, did an excellent job.

Especially since grizzly bears can climb trees
There are a surprising large amount of people who do not believe that.
It is a Christian premise.
Christianity is under attack in the United States.
Was her name Red Riding Hood?..............
I don’t know if she had a picnic basket.
“The woman could have been in real trouble if she wasn’t able to make the call.”
...and, climb a tree.
Gotta love a woman that can climb a tree.
Believe it or not that will get you arrested in Ca. I used to carry a pistol while fishing in wilderness areas (mostly because of human predators. Then Ca. made it illegal in most circumstances.....sigh......the once great state is now a liberal he!! hole.
She WAS THE PICNIC BASKET.........................
When dogs are in a pack, they have a pack mentality.

“When people are in a mob they have a mob mentality.”...taught to me by my parents when I was a child.
Mississippi Leg Hounds are the worst, I hear!
I am with you, Chief! Clean out the gene pool!
“There are a several people that need to be out of a job.”
Obama holdovers.
“Unbelievable that anyone would refuse to help someone in a situation like this. “
Since when do you need permission to rescue somebody? Next thing you know the government will demand you get permission before rescuing someone drowning.
“For safety reasons you should never work alone. “
Be sure you can run faster.
Strategy: fill the parks with "harmless" predators. Let them eat a few people. Soon people are scared to go to the parks. Environmentalist win!
These agencies have been hiring ecowackos and these wackos have been promoting each other. Eventually Interior will become entirely owned by the Sierra Club, PETA, etc. It’s what liberals do. They are fanatics.
Aw. Aren’t those cuktists cute in their camo. F***ing environmentalist scum. All should be fired. Instead they will get promoted.
As an alternative to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, let it be known your next call will be to the news services. A live camera report from a news helicopter would be the least favorable public relations interaction.
LOL, win-win!
Thanks- that one’s a HOOT!
