What does it take to keep tabs on Montana’s wolves in Montana? A howl, good eyes for tracks, plenty of patience, and a willingness to sacrifice a little feeling in your toes.
We know this FWP Field Trips episode is from last year, but it is an interesting look at what goes into monitoring wolves in Montana.
Tag along with FWP wolf-carnivore management specialist Sarah Zielke as she heads into the field to check out a wolf den, search for signs of pups, and show us what wolf monitoring looks like beyond the spreadsheets and population numbers. You never know what you’ll find when you follow the tracks.
