So what is a wolf worth? Do you prepare them for taxidermy work and how do you market them?
Also I have heard some parts of AK have a bad lice problem on the wolves. Maybe you are far enough north to be out of that area. I was just wondering if you ever had that problem and what they look like?

I have sold wolves for 250.00 to 600.00 dollars dependent upon size, fur quality, and color. Always have skinned for taxidermy. Split lips, eyes, turn ears, nose and feet to the last joint.
 Lice started in the Kenai area with a couple packs of wolves. They were initially thought to have become infected by dogs from dog mushers. Along trails mushers will throw out straw for the team to rest in overnight and wolves find these places attractive after the team had left. Upon realizing the Kenai wolves had become infested with lice, our fish and game wanted to kill the two packs to eliminate the problem. General outrage from several groups made it politically impossible for that to happen.
 As young wolves dispersed from the pack they started infecting other wolves. Wolves travel long distances. One radio collared wolf caught by a friend of mine in the interior actually came from the Kenai 600 hundred miles away. I have caught radio collected wolves that were collared 250 miles away. So the inevitable happened. We started catching lice infected wolves. They look like they have mange, big patches of guard hair gone and you feel sorry for them because it must be brutal for them in the sub zero temperatures. We were able to get rid of them as we had that problem for three years. As other wolves moved in the problem went away. Our fish and game tried a politically correct method of locating wolf dens in the spring and throwing meat injected with ivermectin (sp.) by air and this helped. By the way Humptulips, I have enjoyed your posts here and on trapperman. I appreciate everything you have done for the trapping community as often it is a thankless job. My folks lived in Copalis crossing for a number of years so I know your area. Beautiful country.
