Creator Transcript
  • Canis lupus. Waterton Lakes July 16, 1945. Wolves - all grey - used to be fairly common here + caused heavy stock losses. In 1921 H. Reviere was hired to hunt wolves. In that winter he lived on their trail using large husky-dogs as pack animals + hounding them all through the denning season he shot one (or two) + the rest left the country. In 1943 a black wolf showed up here + last year there were two - both blacks, one of which was shot at a steer carcase [carcass] killed by a grizzly. The general impression is that the wolves moved north when they left here for an area near the Crow's Nest got wolves simultan- eously + has had them ever since. Sulphur Spr. [Springs] Aug. [August] 13/45 [1945] No wolf sign on Stony Cr. [creek], Dormer, Corners or Panther to here. Scotch Camp. Aug. [August] 15/45 [1945] One winter scat - elk - down the trail about a couple of miles. According to Bruce Mitchell there was little activity on the ranch last winter and Jackson, with trap line just outside the park - caught no wolves.
