Took the snowshoes out for a little walk today as the snow finally let up and some blue skies were predicted!

Nice shots! Just the thought of Snowshoes makes my Glutes throb - and I did it in days when I was very fit. As to Wolves, a small pack of the imported Canadian Wolves can destroy a viable cattle ranch in these days.

Thanks Will, glad you enjoyed the shots. We never go anywhere without the rifle for the wolves...just in case!

Glutes, calves ....pretty much everything will throb after a long hike in those things... We never go anywhere without the rifle for wolves....they are not welcome here...that's for sure!

Do I see Ravens at the bottom of the hill on the left? Maybe scavenging a kill while the wolf sleeps off a big meal?

Yes ....we didn't see any horns on the carcass, so it's either a mule deer doe or a cow elk...couldn't tell.

Looks like a good place to set up a game cam!

The hill the wolf is on is the winter range for elk and deer. Before the reintroduction of the wolves, this time of year you would see a few thousand elk, deer and a few hundred moose. Now we sometimes see a few groups of 25 to 30 elk, maybe a few deer and no moose at all anymore ....it only took about 10 years for the decline to hit this record low numbers....it's just so very sad to see.
