Question for you wolfers: what do they stink like? Do they roll in stinky intestinal contents of their prey, or decomposed remains of prey? As a sled dog guy, I wondered what wolves smell like. I've smelled 3 winter-trapped wolves, and they smelled faintly like a sled dog, but not bad. Nowhere near as bad as fox or coyote. Wet dog smell also.
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

If they didn't have lice or green belly I didn't notice them smelling bad. In winter there would be no decomposed remains to roll in. It would be frozen.

White, was that large catch off one check, or several over a period of time? Someone spent a lot of time hanging snares/setting traps to get that many. Were they all decently furred? I see 4 cases of heet in the background. Somebody is putting on a lot of miles on their snogo..........or cub!

Gulo Great pictures of beautiful animals Trapping for them has to be a very rewarding experience . I have had the pleasure of trapping a great many critters over a wide geographic area. No question, wolves are my favorite, as they are, hands-down, the smartest critter out there in my opinion. I have great respect for them.

Jack, the "most memorable" discussion is better at a campfire Ten-four Jumper. I'll plan on a special trip early next spring up there and we'll enjoy that campfire tremendously...

I see 4 cases of heet in the background. Somebody is putting on a lot of miles on their snogo..........or cub! That was one check Mike. For the whole season over 60 were taken off that set and in the surrounding area. Amazingly enough, all of those if the picture were all good fur. Only four bad ones all season. You know one of the trappers involved. MM. Yes Cubs were involved.

That would be one bunch of work. One I could see looked like it might be green belly already! Now that would stink.

Yah 60 for the year is a huge boost to the moose population for sure! I have heard each wolf eats 35 moose a year(I don’t know how correct that is though) but the point is a huge help to the moose!

I think the statistic that is most commonly used is that each wolf consumes the biomass equivalent of 10-12 moose per year. That would be voles, beaver, hares, other wolves, caribou, fish, moose and just about anything else they can.
