Description

Fourteen wolves in 5 packs were captured and fitted with radiocollars in or near the Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge between 18 and 21 March 1990. There may be as many as 5 more packs using all or part of the refuge. Average pack sizes observed were only half of the estimated average size of packs in March 1989. An estimated minimum 31 of the prehunt population of wolves was harvested in March 1989. In 1990, there was no evidence of wolf hunting during the capture effort.
