Title: Wolf sightings at Grayback
Post by: Skywagon_185 on March 01, 2014, 03:58:30 PM: In the last 2 weeks there have been 3 separate sightings of what was thought to be a lone wolf south of Grayback Mtn. Another person photographed tracks in the snow with a tape measure along side. The track measured 4" wide. Not in an area of stray dogs.
We knew they'd get here and it looks like at least one has.

Sightings and tracks in snow have been within 2 miles of the top of the Leidle grade on the north side of Glenwood Highway.

:yeah: Yep not really a secret with local hunter or ranchers. Some of the folks who run their cattle in the Simcoes have seen a couple up there the last few years.

I have some experience with Wolves from being in Alberta for some time. I was also told by many long time residents that they did exist. I have also seen tracks on the boundary road heading west to the Grayback area.
