  • Leopold Pack has 18 – 24 pups!

    Ralph Maughan

    Pup counts are coming in from Yellowstone Park, but slowly because of the long cold wet season. I thought perhaps 2008 might be another pup crash year because the Slough Creek Pack had a number of apparently pregnant females yet has only one surviving pup. Moreover no pups have been seen yet with the Druids.…

    News release from Yellowstone Park. Yellowstone Road Crews Struggle with Late Season Snow Storms. Doug Smith told me today that he had never seen so much water in the Park’s backcountry.

  • Kathie Lynch: Numerous pregnant Slough females, but just one pup

    Ralph Maughan

    Kathie Lynch just wrote another of her popular reports on Yellowstone wolves. Very few pups have been seen so far. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there, but in the case of the Slough Creek Pack, they aren’t there. – – – – – – – Copyright © by Kathie Lynch. May 30, 2008 Every living…

  • Haydens leave Yellowstone . . . more Park wolf news.

  • YNP wolf packs are large and old versus other wolf packs

    Ralph Maughan

    The great thing about Yellowstone Park wolf packs is that they are never “controlled.” The largest source of wolf mortality is other wolves. Yellowstone wolves don’t rely much on smaller prey like deer, and so we find large and complex wolf packs that show behavior not seen elsewhere. This article in the JH News and…

‎”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.”

Jim Fowler
