Great pic.  I went on a Manitoba Bear hunt in 2008 and in one week I had 6 Wolf sightings and 1 bear sighting.  I remember the Wolves much more than the bear.  Had 2 at less than 20 yds for about 2-3 minutes and what amazing animals they are.  Our remaining party of 6 never had one Wolf sighting.  I was totally blessed to see Wolves almost every time I sat.

I recently saw a portion of a documentary(?name?) on a PBS station that looked at the decline in Elk numbers in Yellowstone park. From what i can recall the study found calf numbers down and tied it in part to increased bear predation.  the bears' food source of cutthroat trout numbers and location has changed ...tied into climate change. How ever, I have seen several sets of wolf tracks and was even fortunate enough to hear a long distant howl up at Elk camp over the last several years. The elk seam to be more scarce than they were in the early 90s. Wolves, maybe?  Elk camp is ...? - a long ways from Yellowstone.
