Bro, you had me cussing Warde for a split second.
February 26th, 2024 at 6:55 PM ^
😂 me too! Even though I knew the portal is closed.
February 26th, 2024 at 7:30 PM ^
Oh WTF!!! Here is the link provided by the OP.

Wolverine was looking for some Oregon Beaver or Duck.
February 26th, 2024 at 7:37 PM ^
A Beaver Believer…for sure.
February 26th, 2024 at 6:33 PM ^
Hunting for that tasty duck meat. This is Oregon's official Welcome to the Big Ten moment.
February 27th, 2024 at 9:23 AM ^
Wabbit Season.
February 27th, 2024 at 8:33 AM ^
To be fair, that is still more Wolverines spotted in Oregon than in Michigan.
February 26th, 2024 at 6:36 PM ^
Lanning already got him to transfer. God damn it
February 26th, 2024 at 6:40 PM ^
Was he snacking on a hot bowl of Dante Moore?
February 27th, 2024 at 5:42 AM ^
The farts this can is capable of generating in the human gut are unparalleled.
Post-colonoscopy level results when paired with Busch Light.
February 26th, 2024 at 6:48 PM ^
I don't see it till about 30s, back near a tree by the house, then it moves to the right.
February 26th, 2024 at 8:08 PM ^
Romping through that icy driving rain like kids in a back yard sprinkler.
February 26th, 2024 at 6:49 PM ^
He/she looked like it's been eating well.
Hoping he/she finds true love and makes a dozen more little wolverines to terrorize the countryside.
February 26th, 2024 at 6:54 PM ^
This won't be the last time a Wolverine runs all over Oregon like he owns the place.
February 26th, 2024 at 7:05 PM ^
Looks like Biff got out of our yard again! Bennie is a homebody, but Biff loves to roam wild and free. He usually wanders home after a few days since we spoil them with an exclusive diet of duck meat and ribeyes.
February 26th, 2024 at 7:08 PM ^
Looked like he wanted to play with somebody but Buckeyes don't come out in that weather.
February 26th, 2024 at 7:14 PM ^
That’s not the only Wolverine in Oregon. On Gameday, stop by Broadway Cigar in Lake Oswego, and you will find a few more Wolverines watching the game and smoking a Digger. And you might find some bourbon on the rocks.
After-all, you can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the AM. Love those 9 am starts. #GoBlue
February 27th, 2024 at 2:20 AM ^
Next time I'm in town, I'm there.
February 26th, 2024 at 7:28 PM ^
PULL IT DOWN!
February 26th, 2024 at 7:41 PM ^
In the last decade or so Oregon has had wolves naturally populate the state, and now possibly wolverines. No matter how many mistakes we humans make with nature, the residents and itself always find ways to fix it.
February 27th, 2024 at 12:23 PM ^
Yeah I've seen reports on increasing numbers of Wolves in eastern OR. Been contemplating a solo motorcycle trip thru there, wanna be prepared.
February 27th, 2024 at 12:32 PM ^
I will bet you every dollar I ever make they will not come anywhere near you.
February 27th, 2024 at 8:51 PM ^
I've camped all throughout AK, especially out in very remote areas. And I've been sandwiched between 2 packs up off a slough off the Tanana River near Manley, never had any issues. It's great to hear them howl at night. Guess I'm just wondering about the wolves near agricultural areas, if they're more aggressive? Ranchers on TV sure seem to make them out to be that way - but I guess they've got a vested interest.
February 28th, 2024 at 8:06 PM ^
I have worked the research project on Isle Royale and with wolves in the U.P. and have never had issues. I have worked (volunteered) with wolves in Yellowstone and never felt threatened by them.
The ranchers have fear of what wolves COULD do and not what they do in large sample sizes. Ed Bangs said it best, "98% of ranchers will never have a wolf encounter their livestock, 2% will have issues every few years and a few will have yearly issues." With all due respect to ranchers, it is a small percentage that overblow their fear of wolves killing livestock, and these fears have been going on since the 19th century when Europeans moved West of the Mississippi.
February 28th, 2024 at 10:32 PM ^
Isle Royale is on my bucket list. Read the Barry Lopez book about the wolf studies up there in 2nd year college english class.
It's an amazing experience in a setting as natural as it gets. It's heartbreaking that the indigenous wolves were almost wiped out due to lack of genetic diversity because no new wolves could migrate into the island due to Lake Superior not deep-freezing like it use to. Some tried to migrate from Duluth, MN, but sadly drowned, so the NPS decided to reintroduce some a few years ago.
In 2016 there were 2 wolves left (father and daughter), after the reintroduction there are now more than 25 and increasing. The moose were said by Dr. Rolf Peterson to overgraze and overbrowse on vegetation with a population of nearly 1,500, but disease and starvation (along with natural predation from wolves) has knocked their numbers to around 1,000, which is pretty healthy.
February 26th, 2024 at 7:43 PM ^
Several ex-Wolverine sightings in Los Angeles.
February 26th, 2024 at 8:09 PM ^
Must have been something good to bring him so far into civilization in daylight. Usually these incidental sightings are out in the wild.
February 26th, 2024 at 8:25 PM ^
Wolverine running wild on Oregon's green grass is a good omen for the don
February 26th, 2024 at 8:26 PM ^
What a majestic creature!!
February 26th, 2024 at 8:49 PM ^
But I’ve been here for 10 years
February 26th, 2024 at 11:45 PM ^
Incognito, apparently.
February 27th, 2024 at 7:29 AM ^
Well the newspapers do tend to notice when youre not wearing clothes and go hunting in the woods. Unless that's been an everyday thing for ya, then yes I'd be equally shocked
February 27th, 2024 at 8:41 AM ^
You must be mistaken. It's called hunting bear, not hunting bare.
February 26th, 2024 at 10:12 PM ^
He's always been here
February 26th, 2024 at 11:06 PM ^
He's been a career student since at least the mid-60s, probably even longer.
February 26th, 2024 at 10:17 PM ^
Obviously going duck hunting. 🦆
February 26th, 2024 at 10:29 PM ^
And he was just about as open as Donovan Edwards was against OSU and Washington.
February 27th, 2024 at 4:29 AM ^
Tony Petitti is going to try to turn this into another in-person scouting scandal, isn't he?
February 27th, 2024 at 8:58 AM ^
I would pay $5000 to see Gugusha ("Gugu") run across the field - https://www.instagram.com/p/C3cM4Avss7x/
February 27th, 2024 at 12:17 PM ^
Quick. Someone please teach Jamie Mac, Craig Ross, (and even Seth once or twice) how to pronounce Oregon. Hint: it doesn’t rhyme with a geometric construct. Think of the ear cringing podcast segments once the Ducks join the Big 10.
February 27th, 2024 at 1:52 PM ^
Sounds like you should put gas in your car and drive out to teach them yourself ;)
Relatedly, here in Ohio (yes, I know) we have two towns named Newark and Rio Grande and the locals pronounce them n'urk and rye-oh grand, respectively
February 27th, 2024 at 2:08 PM ^
I always tell my friends from Back East ( it’s what we call the plac3s east of the Rockies) that Oregon is pronounces Ory gun. And yes, the hunting is spectacular here.
February 27th, 2024 at 3:23 PM ^
Agree, Brian always gets it wrong too!
February 27th, 2024 at 1:25 PM ^
Given their typical niche in isolated environments far from human habitation, I'm legit shocked one is hanging out in what seems to be an obvious city location.
February 27th, 2024 at 6:12 PM ^
Wait till November
