maybe i'm stupid.....
« on: September 27, 2014, 10:25:31 PM »
recently spent a couple weeks bow hunting elk sw of bumping lake between the twin sister's lakes and the pacific crest trail....one nite in our tent we hear a deep long howl that we swear was a wolf...heard coyotes before and this wasn't it....couple days later we see a guy jogging the pacific crest trail with a back pack and an antenna that sticks out about 6 feet up....wasnt able to talk to him to find out what he was up to...are they checking collared wolves or ?  kinda strange why a guy would be jogging between white pass and chinook pass with a radio antenna on his back.  what do you think ?

I suppose he could be tracking a number of things (wolverine, cougar,etc) but why not wolves too.

I doubt the two are related.  Devises for tracking collars are usually not 6' in length.  Most of them that I have seen are either three or seven element receivers.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

This was just in our local paper.  The guy is documenting every part of the Crest Trail for the Halfmile's PCT app.  It's a pretty cool information site that I've used.  They are trying to get it down to a meter accuracy.
