One month on the wolf and bear highway #Video
Description
The amount of wolf and bear activity on this trail during a single month (mid-Sept to mid-Oct 2021) was pretty extraordinary! Lots of other wildlife used this trail during this time too, including several moose, a lynx, fisher, marten, and others.
The wolves in the video are the Whiskey Point Pack, who took over the Sand Point Lake Pack territory last winter. Whiskey Point was a small pack at two wolves (a breeding pair) last winter.
However, the pack might be getting bigger! This footage is the first confirmation that the pack produced pups this year. Indeed, there were 4 pups still alive as of the end of September (see these 4 pups following an adult at the 1:50 mark in the video).
Anyway, while it appears there are “tons” of wolves in the area, most, if not all, of the wolf videos are of the 2 adults and 4 pups in the pack. The pack simply use this trail frequently to get around.
