Wolf, Lynx, wolverines, etc.

I can tell you about wolves in the upper Noatak River, but it is not believable. I have learned my lesson about telling the truth reference one unbelievable observation. My ass is still burning from the endless flaming on a different forum. And I was on the ground, those who have harvested wolves from an aircraft, claim to have observed equal or higher numbers.

I would like to hear about those wolf numbers. I love hearing the game stories from the bygone days. Hard to imagine what it was like, but I'm sure it was constantly a target rich environment.

I have read in a couple sources that it was thought that distemper spread through the canine populations in the early 1900s thereby eliminating much of the wolf predation.
