  • Kathie Lynch's report: wolf watching slow; bear watching hot

    Ralph Maughan

    Kathie Lynch has sent a report for June 17-23, 2007. It follows. Thanks Kathie! There is not too much to report from Yellowstone right now as the wolf watching has been pretty quiet. We see the occasional Agate Creek adult traveling by in their traditional Antelope Creek den area. And, we have occasional Slough Creek…

    Ralph Maughan

    Post 1181 Kathie Lynch just sent me her Memorial Day wolf watching report, actually it is a couple days old because I went driving, hiking, and camping in the Beaverheads/Lemhis on, and near the Idaho/Montana border. No wolf observations, but lots of elk and pronghorn. I want to thank “BE” for watching my web page…

  • Deal [with Wyoming] removes obstacle to wolf delisting

    Ralph Maughan

  • Hayden Pack finally dens; Druids get bumped from their den site.

    Ralph Maughan

    The wandering Hayden Pack finally denned. They went back to their traditional den near the Hayden Valley, which is also near the busy Canyon area in the Park. People and wolf wise, this has never been a good den site because there is a lot of traffic nearby. The pack has always produced small crops…

  • Yellowstone wolves again eating older elk

    Ralph Maughan

    I’m a but unsure this is news because every winter and spring the class of elk that wolves find the easiest to kill in Yellowstone seems to vary, but here is the article Yellowstone wolves again eating older elk. Jackson Hole News and Guide. post 1070

‎”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.”
