Great footage of the Cranberry Bay Pack from the remote forests of Voyageurs in early December 2021! The weathered gray wolf leading the pack is Wolf V083, the famed “beaver killer” (he killed 42 beavers in 2020!) and breeding male of the pack. The pack was 7 wolves strong in […]
The berry season is here— the time of year when wolves in our area become omnivores! For some wolves and wolf packs, berries will likely be the primary food source for the next 4 or so weeks. Rare footage of this behavior above. Some research we did a few years […]
The Bug Creek Pack was the largest wolf pack in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem this past winter with 8 pack members. You can see the whole pack in the sequence below from April 11. The breeding female is clearly very pregnant at this time—and also a particularly striking individual. We […]

By sheer chance, we happened to have a camera where the Half-Moon Pack decided to have a rendezvous site last summer! As a result, we got tons of footage of the pups and a bit of the adults…most footage is of pups slowly meandering around or sleeping. Not the most […]
Here is a little trivia question: How does a wee little trail camera on the edge of a massive lake survive a historic flood? Answer: It doesn’t. And that is a real bummer! This spring and early summer, we had crazy flooding in the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem with water levels […]

Over the past few years we have tried to find spots that the Shoepack Lake Pack—one of the most challenging packs to study given the remote and wild area they live— frequents where we could put up cameras and get good data. We put this camera on a little creek […]
The Shoepack Lake Pack traveling through the majestic forests of Voyageurs after an early winter snow last December. We only observed 7 wolves traveling together in this video but we have other footage of the pack from around the same time showing 9 wolves together. Regardless, the pack had dwindled […]
