I really hope we never see those. We're in Burks Falls but I've heard that there have been sightings in the Parry Sound area.

55A 55B and some of 58 is completely overrun with wolves. I have cameras set up at my place and I've got pictures of bears and wolves. I have a couple adult deer kicking around but I think all the fawns are toast, same goes with the moose calves.

Fox, yes, wolves were here, the Algonquin wolf was not. The so called Algonquin wolf was a product of Grey wolves breeding with logging camp dogs. A big part of me believes that this breeding behavior has brought on their kill and walk ways. Call BS all you want but I have watched these wolves kill off deer then walk away to kill another and eat none of it. About 8 years back we ended up with a brutal crust on the snow for the winter, we had 12 dead deer on our land and nothing more than a bit of the back legs, bellies and the buttholes chewed out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a21abac4a7.jpg

Interesting, I wonder what causes them not to eat the meat. Seems like a survival instinct would drive them to eat.

The only wolf kills I've seen in 49, they licked the deer clean. All that was left was scattered pieces of the carcass.

Wolves killing and leaving the animal is nothing new. Happens all the time in high wolf populations. Wolves do kill for fun. I remember Gus from Life-below-zero telling a story about how a pack of wolves killed a young bull moose and left it.

I will most likely go up for Wolves in the winter in 55A. Any tips for the best month to catch them at? As we speak I'm in 55A now getting ready for a bear sit tomorrow. Have a wolf tag already.

I believe wolves will kill when the opportunity presents itself, even if they are not starving, but they will probably return to the kill site over the next few weeks to feed themselves.

Grandpa was born in '35, when he was a young kid there were 2 kinds of wolves in the bush at the south end of the park. They did also bring in arctic timber wolves to the park, that would have been the early 1950s, grandpa drove the truck with the wolves in to the park.

It is my understanding that there were no coyotes in the park in the early 1940s and wolves rarely breed with dogs, they would rather kill them.
