    Wolves around Region 3

    Anyone seen much recent wolf activity around Kamloops - Salmon Arm area? How are the deer doing there these days?

    Definitely more & more showing up in the central Okanagan. Here's a lil track, where I'd never seen them before (size XL)...



    I vividly remember bowhunting near the border 15+ years ago & seeing my first wolf face-to-face at ~70m. It is a cool experience to have their wildness as part of our ecosystem, but they are experts at what they do & would change hunting in an area for generations if their populations are not managed properly.

    Since then, packs have swept up from the states north & westward, seriously affecting hunters & our wildlife populations. We all need to help any way that we can with predator management, which is a necessary component of wildlife conservation...

    Wolves are thick around Salmon arm killing deer right near town and the surrounding towns nearby. They are where the game is and if the deer are hanging around populated area's it seems so are the wolves.

    They will do that to escape predators, I have seen deer hang around working logging equipment while a cougar is circling around.

    That's crazy! I've never heard of wolves near town. (But I'm from the Kootenays

    A gutpile is good bait... If there are fresh tracks in the area, it would be worth checking out the next day...

    I had a wide ravine that I called the "zoo" that was full of deer/moose every morning along the Heffley / Paul Lake ridge.

    Up there one early spring - found multiple kill sites in the snow - the zoo was devote of life that fall.

    Depending on whats being logged the deer will congregate around logging shows at this time of year to eat off the freshly falling trees, standing right there waiting for them to fall.
    there has been deer killed here by falling trees. Lots of people have figured this out as well and head there at the end of the day and weekends when there not falling to get a deer.
