That Biologist would be Pat Fowler. Nice guy! He did not fill his tag, because he passed up animals. Wanted a bigger one he new was in there, but never found it.

And 166 and 178 and 175 and....
It's not new that the wolves are down there. Just call the bio's and they'll tell you. They're not secretive about it. A member posted trail cam pics on here from 162 of a wolf last year or maybe 2 years ago. Can't remember for sure when.
