Since we are talking about sharing stories of people & wolves I’ll share one of my memories. I spent every summer & winter as a volunteer wolf tracker, helping to monitor Wisconsin’s Gray wolf under the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Wolf Recovery Program. Every chance I got, in between my teaching job, I went north to Douglas county Wisconsin to track wolves. One summer, just before dusk, I spied several turkey vultures roosting in trees beside the road on the edge on the cedar swamp. So I parked my car far away so I wouldn’t disturb the roosting vultures. I was curious as to why so many vultures were roosting together. This could mean there was a carcass near. I headed over to the spot where the vultures were roosting. As I approached there was the distinct smell of rotten flesh, and the sound of bones being crunched. These sounds were of gray wolves munching on bones and hidden by trees on the edge of the cedar swamp. That was a fantastic find. I don’t remember the exact year, maybe if my memory serves me right, I could estimate that it was around the year 2008.

The Gray wolf is a part of Wisconsin’s wild legacy!

I can tell that only after two years of useless hikes made at 4 am, often with a temperature of -17 degrees Celsius, I could see my first wolf. ~Maria Perrone
