Beautiful, nice compostion. He looks very protective. Great shot.
One of the most beautiful shots of wolves I have ever seen. Been in your city for a few days, will post a few this morning.

Awesome shot. What beautiful creatures they are, and so maligned. Imagine those who think it great to shoot them from a helicopter. Makes one wonder just which specie is the more advanced, eh? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Beautiful like an F16. You have to see a bunch of them kill an Elk calf to understand. They have wiped out 2/3 of the Yellowstone Elk herd and devestated 80% of the Elk in some areas of Idaho and moved on to devestate other areas.
Fabulous photo, though!

Great capture of a fantastic animal! Very nicely done. There are not too many packs left roaming in Yellowstone are there?

Simply stunning. They are magnificent creatures, and you captured them perfectly. Congratulations.

Not just the ranchers. All Elk hunters also. But it'd have to be outside of Yellowstone.
AS A RETIRED FARMER MYSELF I SEE THE COSTS TO THE RANCHERS AND THE GAME INSIDE YELLOWSTONE PARK AND AROUND THE PARK.. THESE BIG DOGS STAND WAIST HIGH ON YOU AND MANY WEIGH 150 TO 160 LBS AND THEY EAT MEAT. THEY AREN'T EATING BERRIES AND GRASSES. I WOULD SHOOT 75% OF THEM ON SITE WITHOUT A BAD FEELING WHATSOEVER. PEOPLE IN CITIES WITH THE CUTE WOLF TEE SHIRTS DON'T KNOW THE ACTUAL BIOLOGY OF THE RANGE AND THE BIG WOODS. THEY THINK YOU CAN HAVE LOTS OF EVERYTHING AND THE SIZE OF THE HABITAT OR FEED REQUIRED DOESN'T MATTER. LOOK AT YOUR WHITE TAILED DEER IN THE EASTERN USA. THEY ARE GROSSLY OVERPOPULATED CAUSING CAR DEER COLLISIONS AND HOUSEHOLD LANDSCAPE ITEMS TO BE EATEN AND FARM CROPS TO BE DESTROYED. LOOK AT THEIR WOODS, NO BRANCHES WITH BUDS AND LEAVES WITHIN 6 FEET OF THE EARTH. PARK-LIKE....OVER BROWSING FROM OVERPOPULATION. GOOD STEWARDSHIP OF THE WILDLIFE IS NECESSARY. STUDY UP ON THE BIOLOGY OF THESE THINGS YOU THINK ARE SO GREAT TO RE-ESTABLISH..! My Ancestors Knew Better. OneOwl
