Sounds like I'm lucky compared to almost everyone in California who never gets to see anything but hoards of humans.

There, fixed it for you.

I've seen Mtn lions several times in the wild in the Kern canyon area and up near Courtright. I live on the edge of the urban mass and get bears, coyotes, deer (overpopulated,) bobcats, foxes and of course 'coons and skunks. There's hoards of humans too, just not right on my front porch.

Then of course there's Reilly just down the street...

That's OK, Kris, I'm reconciled to being just not right*, even when I'm not
on your porch.

on KUSC right now)

As John points out, they're finally back. Now the sheep have something other than you California climbers to be concerned with haha. Next up, bring back the grizzly bears, (extinct in ca. - last seen in 1922, now only on the state flag) that will keep the hikers on their toes.

It is hard to mistake a coyote for a wolf just like it is hard to mistake a black bear for a grizzly. The only wolves I have seen in the wild were in NE British Columbia.
There are wolves in Banff National Park but I haven't run across them.

Two years ago my daughter and I were in the Goat Rocks Wilderness and we saw a wolf. I know what coyotes look like and this wasn't one. No wolves reported in Washington, but there it was, in the central Cascades, big as life. It turned and walked away.

Washington has had a few wolves running around for quite some time. More in Eastern and Northern, but as noted, they can and do some high mileage traveling in a day.
