EXPERIENCES OF A
WOLF HUNTER
Inroads that wolves have beer
making throughout the interioi
on wild life in the last few years
has prompted a campaign againsl
the animals and this spring wolf
hunters have been put in the
field, under the direction of Har
lan Gubser, District Agent of the
Biological Survey. The exper
iences of these hunters is an in
teresting and sometimes humor
ous revelation. Frank Glaser,
hunter in the Fairbanks district,
in a recent letter to Mr. Gubser
points out that the wolves not
only have been folio-wing the
caribou but have been feeding or
sheep.
His letter with its humorous
tinge of the experience with a
female wrolf and her pups in a
den reads:
“In the locality where I was
this spring I saw only a few wol
ves, whereas in March when 1
was in the same district wolves
were quite plentiful. In the six
or seven weeks that I was in the
field I saw just a few fresh kills
but I found out years ago that
wolves seem to do more killing
in the month of March, indicat
ing that they like to have a good
supply of food on hand when the
pups are bom.
When one has good tracking
snow and gets within several
miles of where a den is located
it is a very easy thing to locate
it but when the snow is all gone
and the brush in leaf, 1 have
found it to be very difficult.
The first den I came to on this
trip was one where the pups
were already born and the moth
er had moved them about a hun
dred yards from the trail to an
other den. 1 went over to the
den and could hear the pups
plainly as they made lots of
noise. I did not know at the time
that the mother was in the den.
The pups were back about twen
ty feet from the entrance. I fol
i lowed in their direction, pound
ing on the ground with a hand
axe and finally located the back
end of the den. I dug a hole
1 thru and could see the pups.”
It was at this point that Mr.
| Glaser points out that he made
| what he humorously refers to as
| a ‘‘serious mistake.”
, "The pups all looked to be black
but one showed up to be gray in
the poor light. Here is *where I
made a serious mistake. I leaned
over and took hold of what I
thought was a gray pup, and as
soon as I found out it was the
hind leg of the she wolf I let
>
go in a hurry.
"I put a green stick in the hole
and she was waiting this time for
when the stick touched her leg

she grabbed it and hung on sc
that I was able to pull her head
in sight and shoot her. I found
she had been eating sheep meal
and several big pieces of sheep
meat were buried close to the
den.
"In my travels this spring 1
found about 12 wolf dens bui
just one of them in use. In the
Toklat and Clearwater rivers re
gions where the caribou had win
tered this last winter I found
not less than 20 caribou that hac
been killed by wolves. When the
caribou moved out of the districl
the wolves went along with
them';”—Juneau Empire.
