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.

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.
