  • Wyoming wolf update, including Yellowstone Park, May 18 – May 22, 2009

    Ralph Maughan

    Weekly report from the USFWS has details about the government killing of YNP wolf- If you want the details from the government about the first control kill of a Yellowstone Park wolf, it is in this report, along with some other information. Wolf reports, if any, now with delisting for Idaho and Montana are the…

    Ralph Maughan

    All the entrances to Yellowstone Park are now open, and this includes Beartooth Pass. Travelling the Pass at this time of year ought to be an awesome experience assuming you can see over the snowbanks.

  • Wyoming, including Yellowstone wolf news

    Ralph Maughan

    The federal report this week is A LOT more interesting than usual (e.g., YNP wolf chases bicycles, motorcycles, etc.)- This is the wolf weekly news put out by USFWS because Wyoming can’t manage wolves. Be sure to read the “monitoring” and “control” sections. – – – – – – – – Update: There is essentially…

  • Ranch north of Yellowstone meant for migrating bison goes unused this winter

    Ralph Maughan

    All “the action” was at Horse Butte west of the Park- They were going to let 25 of what I sarcastically called “cyberbison” use the CUT (Church Universal and Triumphant)  land north of Yellowstone Park, but there was no northward migration this winter.

  • Brutal harassment of bison west of Yellowstone Park

    Ralph Maughan

    Whatever happened to the vaunted new May 15 tolerance date? Supposedly it would be different this spring. Bison would allowed to migrate out of the Park and onto Horse Butte free from harassment until at least May 15. The reality is pretty much like recent years. Brutal Montana Department of Livestock agents and Yellowstone Park…

  • The Canyon Pack dens at Mammoth Hot Springs

    Ralph Maughan

    For all practical purposes the pack has denned at Park Headquarters- The Canyon Pack, which includes some remnants of the old Hayden Pack, is denned just a quarter mile east of the Mammoth town site. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a chase on the Mammoth lawns. Wolf pack moves to park’s headquarters. Den near…

‎”At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour.”

Edward Abbey

“The continued existence of wildlife and wilderness is important to the quality of life of humans.”

Jim Fowler

“Our forests offer much more than just beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Each one has a different story to tell.”
