From this past winter on a remote portage… This portage has traditionally been the border between two packs. In the past, we often observed members from both packs frequenting the portage marking their territory, and investigating the scent-marks from their neighbor. But this past winter, the only wolves seen on […]
Things are getting a bit more moose-y in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem…or are they? Over the past few years, we have captured an increasing number of videos of moose on our trail cameras, with last year being the largest number to date. The video below is just a sampling of […]
Moral of the story: you just don’t mess around with badgers! For a bit of context, the pair of wolves here are the Blood Moon Pack (the pack was only 2 wolves last winter). The breeding female of the Blood Moon Pack, Wolf Y5E, was killed by the Biondich Pack […]
Folks often tell us there are more wolves than deer in our area (and northern Minnesota). Many folks likely say such things as a euphemism—i.e., as a way to indicate there are more wolves than they would like and less deer—but some do appear to really believe wolves outnumber deer. […]
Amazing moments from the Northwoods that few ever see! Fortunately, trail cameras allow us to capture little snippets of the fascinating daily happenings such as these. As always, we would enjoy hearing folks favorite moment or sequence! Notably, all this footage was captured last fall and winter. As always, huge […]
A rare glimpse of the competition/aggression between pack members for food. In this video, Wolf W8T, a subordinate yearling male in the Thuja Pack, walks by the camera with a deer leg from a nearby kill. However, he turns around and submissively walks back toward the breeding/dominant male of the […]
Two reasons this video from last winter is pretty neat. The first is that the video illustrates how much larger male wolves can be than female wolves. The two wolves in the latter part of the video are the breeding pair of the Pelican River Pack. The breeding male of […]
First look at the Bug Creek Pack pups! Swapped SD cards for a camera last Friday and captured this sequence from a few weeks ago of the pups traveling with their aging mother (the whitish, thin wolf) and a 4.5 year old female (first wolf in video), who is technically […]

This footage might not seem like anything unique but it is pretty fascinating to us given the events that transpired with these wolves and their neighboring packs after this video. This footage is of three wolves from the Half-Moon Pack in early April 2024. The first wolf in the video […]
