I’ve been volunteering with the Teton Cougar Project for a week now and have already seen 12 kill sites, many beds, and hiked over 40 miles. Its been intense! But I’ve learned a lot and seen a ton of cool stuff. Here are some pictures…

Wolf Tracking

I’ve been on the road for a couple weeks now camping in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. It is wild country out here. At one camp we woke up to find cougar tracks, black bear tracks, elk, moose, a grizzly bear rub and very fresh wolf tracks… all with in a couple hundred yards of our camp. Amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much mega-fauna packed into such a small space. We got on some great trails – fresh moose, elk, deer… but the best of all were the wolves. Lots of open ground and a recent rain made for incredible trailing and we got a rare insight into the lives if these animals.
A couple more days of free-wandering fun before we start our internship with the Teton cougar project. Will post more soon…
