The cause of the wolves hunting in the CHSRd - North Pole area is the lack of snow. Moose are very dangerous for the wolves to hunt when the snow depth is so low. They can run and kick, and are usually healthier, due to mild temp.s and easy to reach browse. These snow conditions are hard on wolves....so they move to where the prey is smaller and pickins easier. Once the snow is deep enough to slow down the moose, the pack will move on to hunt their favorite meal....moose.
