I am not shocked at all that no one in your family has seen wolves no matter how much time you or they spend in the woods.
Outside of Yellowstone National Zoo, wolves actually try and avoid contact with humans and the areas that humans would inhabit. Plus I doubt that there are very many < than 10 that may be in the whole range at any given time.
But they are there and they have been confirmed to have been there for the last several years through livestock depredation. I also have family that live in Ranchester and some of the ranchers in that area have lost sheep due to confirmed wolf depredations as far back as 2005.
