Our wolf packs here in NW Wisconsin are probably more crowded than yours; in areas where their territories bump up against each other I see lots of tracks where it looks like skirmishes occur. Unless those tracks are just where pack members are getting booted?

Those are likely pack boundary kickback markings. If they are seen in the same place on a fairly regular basis that is likely what it is. One pack will visit,and mark the area,usually in a spot around a 20 foot diameter area where a couple wolves kick up dirt,snow etc,and leave scat and urine. When the other pack comes along they will repeat the activity.
If you see similar in random areas the wolves sometimes do that when they find a food source or a place where they ambush beaver,etc.

Boco, what's the deer population like where your at? I've never seen evidence of a wolf eating another.

No deer here,these ones kill moose in winter and they are found near the moose yards and have travelways between the moose yards in winter.. Not uncommon for wolves to eat each other when one is sick or displays unusual behaviour like in a snare or trap. The smaller deer eating wolves are more in the central and NW of the province where deer are common.

Weather is not co operating for frostscraping the wolves and beaver so far. Gotta go back to beaming when that happens and the freezers are full.

Thanks Guys,Newfox it is a fact a lot of trappers lose money by either doing a poor job of putting up their fur(sometimes due to rushing it) or not putting it up at all.That said,I see a lot of great looking put up fur on here.I love seeing well handled fur pics from everyone. Myself I never found that taking a bit of time to put up fur cut into my trapping at all. My traps continue working when I am in the fur shed,lol.

Put a deer hide flesh side out draped over a wood pile. Woodpeckers have it really clean.
