Where did you get the canoe, supplies, etc at Lake Itasca? It seems for me right now that is the biggest hurdle. Thanks! <br /><br />~W.

I was within a few moments of getting some good stills, too.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968411775993981986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465453.post-50139933042024233432011-10-13T13:47:53.541-08:002011-10-13T13:47:53.541-08:00great photo of that wolf.. what kind of camera did...great photo of that wolf.. what kind of camera did you use to get the photo? take care shaunshaun knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465453.post-7775402648112210282011-10-12T08:32:31.864-08:002011-10-12T08:32:31.864-08:00Good perspective, sounds reasonable.Good perspective, sounds reasonable.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601488363641081301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465453.post-9936016799633132882011-10-11T07:57:05.750-08:002011-10-11T07:57:05.750-08:00Thanks Carl!

And of course it comes from both sides.<br /><br />Wolves are doing well in Alaska. They occur in nearly all their historical range, and likely in greater abundance than 100 years ago. <br /><br />The state does some aerial wolf hunting when they determine that wolves are keeping caribou or moose numbers too low. And yes, it it is mostly because human hunters want to fill their freezers, but also to keep stability in the herds, avoiding the boom and bust cycles. They are trying to achieve this by controlling predator numbers in some places, and by carefully controlling hunting in all places. <br /><br />Of course, many people don't want to see any wolves killed for any reason.<br /><br />Take away the emotion and these are still truly the good old days in Alaska when it comes to wildlife.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968411775993981986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465453.post-87575547664537190982011-10-11T05:15:10.930-08:002011-10-11T05:15:10.930-08:00Thanks for the great story!

They play such an essential role in the balance of nature. What is the reasoning behind the wolf killing issue there, and aerial shooting? Is it as bad as the media makes it out to be? -CarlCarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601488363641081301noreply@blogger.com
