[BeachMist13]

[tigers3010]

Check it out on the Oregon Wild website.

Here's a great resource for those who want to separate the myths from the facts when it comes to wolves in Oregon and North America. Lot of misinformation out there.

[astubbs90]

@Wolven77 yeah a welcome site if we want our hunting seasons to go out the window and ranchers to continue absorbing the costs of wolf over kills when they kill for the sport. They're a species that CANNOT co-exist with other populations... Idaho is a perfect example and now look where the Governor stands on the issue today. We must make a decision, wolves or our current way of life. Great they're pretty to look at but so are the 100's of other species we'll lose if they stay around.

[MrFloppywaffles]

@astubbs90 The hundreds of species you will lose because of wolves? What about the THOUSANDS of species humans have demolished?What about the price that other natural predators pay when humans overhunt?Wolves can coexist and they always have when humans did not play such a massive part in it.Wolves can coexist, take one quick look at Alaska.Wolves and other species can coexist, it is just such a huge change to have the wildlife populations drop that hunters and ranchers dont like what they see.

Man killed the bison, man almost killed off the wolf, man almost killed off the beaver. Mark Twain talks in 1 of his books about doing an experiment where he has an anaconda in a room with a 7 cows... he says every time the snake only killed what it needed, which was one cow. But man kills indiscriminately much more than he could ever need. Paraphrasing another quote; men when out on a bison hunt and killed 72 bison and ate part of 1. You won't find any wolves killing more than what they need.

[constipatedkangaroo]

looks more like scooby doo to me

[donze52]

we got wolves now in nebraska, dang things, along with mountain lions makes it hard to raise sheep and cattle, but then the g men only care about predators.

if however your dog bites someone you go to jail, but if their wolf kills a $300 calf, they say it is our fault. Kind of like telling a girl who is raped it was her fault!!!!

I keep my (bow less arrow) ready.

[squeezersause]

[nicholasbhicks]

to bad i live in ohio were id have to drive thousands of miles to have a chance to see wild wolves

[rochafamily3]

i live in south wasco county and there arent any wolves that i know of or at least seen ive heard but it might have been a dog

[hamdxr]

Congratulations to the cameraman for holding the camera so still. 

[wise185]

i would love to have grizzlies and moose here that would be so cool but unfortunetly we would have to kill off all the poachers.

[michaelhinckley]

thats is so cool to me i live in lagrand and i wold love to c 1 this year hunting

[NewtProductions]

@michaelhinckley Im from Summerville :)

[traiter82]

I wish there was more wolves than coyotes in oregon. Oregon needs grizzly bears too, wish Oregon would pay alaska for relocating grizzlies back into Oregon. Maybe some moose and caribou too.

[NewtProductions]

@traiter82 We have enough problems with bears. Fuck wolves and coyotes, they are only problems...

[oinkers97]

@traiter82 oregon has moose, and grizzly bears there just areant that many because they have been hunted :( but there are some,,...... i went hunting deer in the eagle cap area and we saw 6 grizzlies and 1 or 2 moose

[lycan7hropy1975]

@oinkers97 - there isnt any grizzlies in oregon moron. moose have only been in NE oregon for about a decade and wolves have obviously crossed over hells canyon from idaho. grizzlies? LOL......come back when the shuttle lands.

[kagome41123]

ok i support the wolves coming back and everything. but people do not get your hopes up. sheep herders and cattle ranchers are getting pissed and are just about to go over the edge

[oregonnich]

i like the idea of wolves coming back to eastern oregon but you have to think of what they are put up against now, lots and lots of rangeland = livestock = food. see my point? but cougars have been able to cope i'm sure wolves can eventually, and what better remote places than desolate parts of eastern oregon?

[hermenutic]

Very nice, a striking animal.  Sad to think they are such a novelty.

[Eriogonum]

Yep. Jack London was wrong. There has never been a fatal wolf attack in North America, ever (and all the other "attacks" are disputed).

[casienwhey]

wolves wont harm you if you leave them alone. More likely to get stung by a bee or something like that than harmed by a wolf.

[914934]

Used to hike there with my family as a child. Do not know that I would take my children there now however.

[kd7vvg]

What part of NE Oregon was this? And is this wolf on its own, or are there others in the area? Nice to see them, as long as they keep to the wildlands areas and not messing with domestic stock. Otherwise welcome.

[ORWild]

It was spotted just outside the Eagle Cap Wilderness. It has been moving around quite a bit according to ODFW.

[squeezersause]

@kd7vvg

your crazey they kill to kill and the dont know were the county and city lines and limits are!

[kd7vvg]

@squeezersause - "they kill to kill"...

Humans are the ones who "kill [just] to kill".

Wolves kill to eat. Cougar kill to eat. Bears kill to eat (but sometimes kill to claim territory).

Sure wolves do not recognize our lines, but they are generally more recluse like cougar, and rarely enter human occupied areas, (like towns). Just because the Forest Service and BLM allow cattle (and some other livestock) grazing privileges, does not mean that they are going to be safe from predators.

[Jasurlik]

@kd7vvg It's only natural for wolves to kill domestic stock. Just like it's natural that humans kill their own domestic stock for food. If they're killing your stock, keep your stock better protected with fencing, They only take what they need and that should even be shared with them freely.
