Some ethereal footage from this summer. This wolf is a lone wolf passing through the area as there are no black wolves in the 19 packs in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem, which is not atypical. There have not been any black wolves in any packs in the area for over a decade. Although resident black wolves in our area are rare, we do generally document 1 or 2 transient lone black wolves passing through every year.

Some of our favorite recent shots from our trail cameras. Naturally, we get a lot of folks who ask what cameras we use. The answer: we use Browning Spec Ops model cameras exclusively. We have used them for 7 years and they have been fantastic. They take exceptional video footage and have a very fast trigger. We highly-recommend them.

Sort of an epic scene of the Blackstone Pack hunting a deer on a frozen shoreline as the wind whips snow across the lake (turn on volume for the full wintry effect). The breeding male of the pack, who has a very distinctive appearance, was leading the chase as 5 pack members lagged a few minutes behind.

Excellent footage of the Whiskey Point Pack moving through a snowy northern forest this past winter. The first wolf in the first sequence is the long-time breeding male. He is much larger than the other wolves, his coat has more of a reddish hue, his tail is tipped with grayish white (not common), and he faced looks grizzled. Behind him are his two year old offspring and his pup from last year’s litter. The 2nd to last wolf in the 1st sequence is a 2 yr old that was missing the tip of its left ear from a young age. Bringing up the rear in the first video is his mate, the breeding female who has a limp from some injury she sustained.
