We have known about these wolves for years just as we know that there are grizzlies in the same area, the WDFW and the feds just can't seem to find them!! this area is still a prime hunting area because it is hard to hunt so a lot of the westside hunters won't go there! the game numbers are high, much higher than in the colocklum where hunting pressure from over 6,000 hunters have pretty much wiped out the herd! but the indians are being blamed for the lack of elk there!!!!!
