And across the Mogollon Rim at least to hiway 87 in AZ.

Have the Mexican gray wolves made their way north into Arizona?

North from the Blue Range AZ/Gila NF and West along the Rim. We occasionally speak with a forest service fire watch person. That person told us they are spotting them from the watch tower. About 40 miles from Flagstaff now.

Mexican Grey were reintroduced in NM/AZ 20ish years ago. There last count was 180 known/ collared wolves about 2 months ago. There are a good number of uncollared not documented wolves as well. So actual # is unknown

I hope they do not become too plentiful. They sure do eat a lot of mule deer!

I'm worried too. The mule deer haven't recovered from the record drought, so all other ungulates are on the menu.

As to wolves in Arizona, we have to think of the jaguars. The jaguars have made a tepid comeback in Arizona, although if Trump's wall is completed it will be hard for them to continue their northward expansion from Chihuahua, Mexico. Every deer that a wolf eats is one deer less for the jaguars!

Apparently they have worked their way down all the way to Northern California.

Wish they would work their way Into HollyWierd

Hollywood is a great place to live, especially now that the air quality is so much better. Nothing like the Hollywood hills!

 

[MNbogboy]

Kill em all..!!. Leave em in Canada where they have room to roam!!

Wolves have never been endangered, we need them as much as we need mosquitos& woodticks.

But it is still part of California and full of Biden supporters
