Great pictures thanks for sharing them ! I really like the wolverine looking at you from behind the tree !

As for the -41 below weather makes me homesick for the highline of Montana .

Chilly, glad you got fur out of it!


Rumors of my assimilation have been greatly exaggerated.

Way to go! Do you always have this many wolves on your line or is there multiple packs?

Not normally this many but I think a couple of packs have moved in at least that is what it looks like . The one I got with radio collar came from a pretty good distance and we took 6 out of that pack of 10 . There is still one large pack 22 but it is moved on . We are set if the come back but for now it is 1s and 2s but as breeding season kicks off it should pick up .

Shoot you guys are having a heck of a season. Bet that pack of 22 left a heck of a trail when they came though. Never run across that much sign from them, usually packs 6 or so. Hope you get that black one.

Do you think the number of wolves in your area is effected by the number of caribou in the area.
You 2 seem to know what your doing as much as anyone on this forum.

Yes. Large packs of 18 or more follow the caribou we have noticed that when the caribou come in some times they bring in a big pack that also leave when the caribou leave . I feel there big enough to travel that the small pack can’t do nothing about them being in there territory. I had a friend hunting bear in my territory this year in the fall and counted 2 different packs one 17 to 18 and one 22 . We hammered the 17 one but the 22 one left with the heard
We no were it is right now but it is in some one else’s territory but not getting trapped it still close to are area we are hoping they will shot through for a visit . We have also noticed when the wolves are in so are the Wolverine. Pretty sure a lot of Wolverine follow the wolves for the scraps.

Nice catches. We see the caribou wolves and resident packs here too.

Doesn't take long with predator control being closed for the wolf numbers to explode. Those big packs are the very thing that will get it opened back up in the coming years. Good job trying to keep them thinned out.

Do the blacks bring more money than the grays?
