Consider another use for Alaska's wolves

06/07/12 - 8:51am

The wolf pack came into clear view as I focused my binoculars. Several times over the previous years I'd seen this same pack, the Grant Creek Pack. They have been by far the most viewed wolves in Denali Park for almost a decade now.

This summer it's likely no pups will be born to this most viewed pack and pups are what keep them tied to this area of open country and viewable to anyone with binoculars and a little luck. Thousands of visitors from all over the world will now have little chance of seeing the animal many most want to see.

So, is the Fish and Wildlife Service breaking its own law?
In a word, no.

Aerial wolf hunting on the Peninsula?

09/23/11 - 10:12am

If I told you that aerial wolf gunning was being planned for the Kenai Peninsula, you’d probably think I was making it up. I wish I were. Unfortunately that is exactly what the Board of Game has in store for us this winter. This last week the Board released the proposal book for their November meeting in Barrow. In it are two placeholders – proposals 35 and 36 – for intensive management plans which will include aerial wolf gunning to protect moose in Units 15A and 15C.
