Big Bad Wolf

[RKE]

Not great news for our deer populations in the Central Valley. Jumping from Shasta to Tulare counties makes me wonder how many more packs are this far south. Won’t be long until they inhabit the So Cal ranges as well.

CDFW News | New Gray Wolf Pack Confirmed in Tulare County

Interesting. This lone wolf near LA a couple of years ago was well documented. Makes you wonder when a pack will show up and feast on the elk at Tejon Ranch.

A gray wolf was just seen near L.A., the southernmost California sighting in a century

That’s the one killed in San Luis County? I can see a lone wolf traveling like that, but it seems odd to me that a pack would bypass all the good habitat between Shasta and Tulare and settle in Tulare. But, I am no biologist.

It's as if, they just magically appear...................

For some reason i think this pack was planted, and will be relocated to Colorado, since Colorado is having issues getting wolfs from surrounding red states by December.

That will be interesting to watch. What do you think the thinking is on planting them in Tulare County? National Park… red county to stick it to red states for not cooperating?

Please explain your reasoning for this statement

Idaho and Montana have already turned down Colorado’s request for wolves, they are forced to give their voters wolves by the end of december. That pack is over 200 miles from the nearest pack. Have you seen wolf pack maps with collard wolf packs, those packs territories always overlap, check out the New Mexico collard wolf pack maps. Blue states want their game managed by predators instead of hunters. It just stinks to me for some reason.

Maybe we can sue CA if they do send them to CO ? Removal of protected species
