Have you ever seen a wolverine in the Lower 48?

[Schoolhousegrizz]

I have seen about every animal that lives in the West in the lower 48. Apparently, when I was 2 years old my dad was carrying me in his arms in Southwest Wyoming when we crossed paths with a wolverine. I don't remember it obviously, but my dad said that I saw it. I've also never seen a lynx.

Just curious who has seen a wolverine in the lower 48. Go ahead and post where you have seen them as well, it would be interesting.

I can’t say I’ve actually seen one. In the NE corner of Washington I had a night time trail camera pic that I’m 98% certain was one. Of course I lost the pic on a laptop many moons ago

I saw one on a big boulder flat in the Longs Peak area of Colorado. Watched it for a couple minutes.

Washington. Buddy and I were hiking out from a scouting trip. Came face to face in the middle of the trail.

A 12-Pack Of Wyoming Wolverines? Seems Unlikely, Biologists Say

Wildlife biologists told Cowboy State Daily that the black dots in the viral photo that allegedly shows a dozen wolverines are probably not wolverines. It's a near-impossibility, they say.

Never seen one, but I was born in the Wolverine state.

More than likely not. The last wolverine seen in Colorado was in 1919. More than likely you saw a big marmot. Plus the likelihood of seeing one on or that close to the front range is a joke.

I also saw one in WA and was able to watch it for a while. Incredible.

Saw my first one last year in AK, so I had to say no to your poll. At first glance, I thought it was a black bear cub.

If you have seem everything but a Wolverine and a Lynx, where was the LBC spotted?

 

[grfox92]

I hunt right around where they are in WY but haven't laid eyes on one.

Yes, in 1992 I saw one about 40 miles east of Grangeville, ID. Got to watch it for several minutes from less than 100 yards.

Here in Michigan, but only tracks. Was in high school at the time and my chemistry teacher and baseball coach chronicled the whole thing for the few years while she lived here. Was a really cool story to follow.

Have not, only in Alaska

Didn't vote because I can't confirm, however:

About 30 years ago driving late at night, brights blazing, going East on Interstate 90 outside of Livingston, saw what I thought was a bear cub eating on a road kill. I slowed down and started to pull over for a better look, thought for sure it was a wolverine when it's head came up from eating and as it ran away.

Definitely saw tracks of an adult and juvenile near Gallatin Peak in the Spanish Peaks a jillion years ago.

Saw one in SW Wyoming about 10ish years ago, took quite awhile to figure out what I was looking at

Seen one above Riggins Idaho,working his way out of an Alpine basin.

I have not seen one but my buddy took a picture of one on the edge of the eagle cap wilderness in Oregon. 2 years ago

Had one cross the road in front of us in northern Wisconsin it was very cool I would never want to tangle with one.
