white17 - Yeah Igor and I go way back. He said to pass on his thanks to you for giving him all the pointers on building helicoptersSaid he couldn't have managed the Sky Crane without your expertise. 
  And yes, at one point in my life, I did have hair covering my braincase.

 I couldnt have asked for a better existence   Thats deep.  What a journey youve experienced.  I told someone recently about your human evidence scale... the one about having to hike a minimum time without seeing evidence of another human with satellites excluded since nowhere on earth can they be avoided.... Thanks for sharing, I mean it.  Jeff

Gulo, fascinating post! Would you mind to tell more about the work your involved in and how it came to be. I'm assuming some type of biologist? Very interesting for sure.

Hodagtrapper -  Thanks Chris. Some early experiences I had with Marlin Perkins and others led me to avoidance of photographers and videographers. Seriously. 
  Aix - Mornin' Jeff. Yeah, that wasn't meant to be deep. I call that search for true wild country my "quest for thule". Still looking...
  Scout1 - pm'd you sir.

Well Jack as everyone else has mentioned darn nice pictures and stories to go with them ! 
  I'd enjoy being around when you and Ken were to get together for a visit along with some other colorful folks I'd bet it could be very educational to say the least.
  My question is was there any animal or animals that were tougher than the rest to catch for you while doing research on them.
  Thanks for your time. Allan

Thanks again all - 
  Allan - I'm a bit surprised that this question hasn't come up sooner regarding the toughest animal to trap. Yes, no question in my mind at all. For me at least, hands down, the grey wolf is the toughest to catch consistently. Sure, there are individuals out there that are not the sharpest knife in the drawer (just like humans or any other species), but on the other hand, there are also a relatively high proportion of Einsteins. They are what's kept me in the game for so long. Their intelligence coupled with their sense of smell, to me, is fascinating.

Jack  I find that very interesting that you said the grey wolf the one thing I've learned is that when you say this or that is a given is when that animal will change the game . What are your thoughts on foot snares for wolves not to replace foothold traps but in addition to them ?
  I've yet to try seriously to catch a wolf because they are around but not very consistently here in Central Montana I've seen more wolves in Southeastern Montana which I've always thought was interesting because it's such open country. Thank you again for your time. Allan
