Do any of you guys know what kind of collar this is. Looks like ir has a camera in it. I’ve caught quite a few collared wolves but there normally radio collars and 1 being a gps style collar. Wolf is to froze to remove collar so not sure if it’s a state or federal collar.

It’s ok I wrapped it in tin foil before I put it in the sled. Would it have safer if, you had rapped the tin foil over your head? BTW, how many trappers carry tin foil on the line?

I carry tin foil, Tony's Cajun seasoning, butter, to cook Ptarmigan with on coals. Food is my weakness, I'll carry extra weight when I'm winter camping.

Thats interesting. Didn't know they were doing camera collars on wolves. It would be neat if they shared the footage and gps data with you. Especially the footage of him approaching the snare and getting caught.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

It was the tinfoil from my hat. I know I went unprotected but had no choice. Talked to the blm wolf guy today. It is a federal collar and it takes a 30 sec video every hour during daylight hours. So now the feds know what the inside of my garage looks like. Had a good talk with him about the wolf and its pair. We had also caught the female that was with it the week before and was also collared with a normal collar.

Does BLM give you anything for the collar? The State used to give you $25 but they quit doing that. Did you ask if they would share any of the videos? Good work this year.

I read a short article somewhere about those type collars, but can't recall where. I caught a marten one time that had a tiny metal clip in it's ear, (but no collar), about the size of a grain of rice. With a magnifying glass I could see "080". When I had it sealed, I pointed it out, and the biologist asked where exactly I caught it. Turned out they had an on-going wolverine study going on, and the big log-walled traps had a drop-top lid with a trigger rigged to send a signal via sattelite back to Juneau telling them they had a wolverine. They then chartered a helicopter to the catch site. That little marten triggered that trap, (and got caught), 4 times! It had one very distinct white foot, and was easy to identify, (and sell on Taxi.net). Well, after the 4th time, he got a helicopter ride, and was deposited about 6 miles from my line. He now resides in Ohio, in all his full body glory. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Best part of that would be seeing from their view when they came to the set and how they may have acted. Would also be cool to see any kills they were on.

-TJ someone should invite that Bio to a Canadian conference so then the data can become a public domain and be shared....like that is going to happen.

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. But James has gone south, so here you go:
5 AAC 92.160. Marked or tagged game. A person who takes an animal that has been marked or tagged by the department for scientific studies shall, within a reasonable time, notify the department of the date when, and the place where, the animal was killed. Any ear tag, collar, radio, tattoo, or other identification must be retained with the hide until it is sealed, if sealing is required, and in all cases any identification equipment must be returned to the department.
In the interest of stirring the pot: Years ago I caught a wolf with a National Park Service collar on it. (Apparently the poor thing was starving in Denali and had to leave to hunt on State land where prey is more abundant!) My argument at the time was that the reg clearly states you have to turn in collars for animals "marked or tagged by THE DEPARTMENT." Not the NPS! It was a lot of fun!
Follow me for more administrative pot-stirring tips...!

Be nice to get that data. I’ve got a little collection of them. (Not wolves that I got). The number of wolves that were introduced into national parks are getting thin…..cuz there’s nothing more to eat…lol. They’re moving to where the food is or scavenge off people’s garbage….and once wolves get habituated, they’re a bit different than coyotes. More people are for coyote control, but when wolves come into play they want to leave them be…..weird. Except Alaska, the one state that seems to manage the population. So far in most parts of Canada, we’re still ok as far as I know. There was some kinda event going on in eastern Ontario/Quebec to get their wolves bumped up to endangered, not sure what came of it.
