For some times now,
wolves and coyotes have been a subject of discussion like never before. The reason being that hunters are starting
to realize the extraordinary effectiveness of these predators to control and
even reduces deer populations. The
wolves are especially effective in big forest since they work in teams and may
communicate their position without a great deal of effort. Three years ago, during my trip to BC for
‘Hunt of a lifetime’, we had the chance to see a wolf that the winner of our
contest harvested. This wolf was very skinny for the time period. While skinning it, we discovered a broken
canine tooth of another wolf sitting on the left side of the eye-socket. These things happen even though they
tolerate each other, but there are many frictions in a wolf pack to maintain
the hierarchy, this being necessary for the well being of the pack and for their
survival. It takes one or two boss, the
Alpha couple and the subordinates… This
last picture was taken by my spouse on a visit to a wolf research center in
Nova Scotia. I will be back with more
details on this research center later.
Have
a good day. Louis.
