6a wolf

Recommended Posts

Saw a big male back in January hunting in Tin Can Draw. Saw tracks at a few water holes. Looked like it had been in the area for at least a few weeks. The only other time I have seen one in 6A was in Clover Canyon in I think 2018. Population is growing fast. See them all over the east side of the state and in the Gila. Seems like I find a ton of dead mule deer anywhere they hunt. Wish they would hunt the wild horses instead. Maybe could get a solid population plan then since all the horse groups would panic.

They are pretty well documented in units 5, 11, and 7. Wouldn't surprise me to see them in 6a. 

I heard one in 5b near hutch back in 2020 but I saw one walking across brolliar lake yesterday morning

Two summers ago, we were fishing Lake Mary, out in the boat and we got pulled over by G$F to check for fishing license. As we were showing him our legal status we visited about a pair of wolves that they currently were trying to catch just north of Belmont and re-locate!

This also happened just recently.....it is interesting that the wolfers don't realize that all animals come in conflict with civilization when they don't stay where the wolfers told them to stay!!!

A Mexican gray wolf named Taylor (M3065), known for his repeated journeys north of the designated recovery area, was found dead after being hit by a vehicle on Interstate 40 in New Mexico over the weekend of January 17-18, 2026
Key Details of the Incident:
  • Location: The incident occurred on I-40 near Grants, New Mexico, not Arizona, though the wolf was known to traverse wide areas.
  • The Wolf: Taylor was a nearly three-year-old male from the Elk Horn pack in Arizona, identified as a "boundary-defying" wolf for his determination to live in suitable habitat north of the I-40 boundary.
  • History: Taylor was first located near Mount Taylor in spring 2025, moved to the Gila National Forest by wildlife officials, and subsequently returned to the Mt. Taylor area twice.
  • Significance: Taylor was the 11th Mexican gray wolf known to have spent time north of I-40 and the fifth in the Mount Taylor area. His death highlights the dangers of the interstate to endangered species and has renewed calls for improved wildlife crossings.

"Taylor's tragic death reminds us that our lobos need more from state and federal wildlife agencies if they are to truly recover and thrive as a species," said Leia Barnett of WildEarth Guardians.

Cant wait till the libtards from Cali come to AZ and demand an animal overpass in AZ, like they did in Calabasas.  This will help get wolves from flag to mormon lake faster, then payson to phoenix!!!!!!!

Those aren't wolves.  They are large Coyotes.  Happy hunting.
