7/13/08 – It must be wolf week here around Sawbill. Our friend Gary Freiermuth sent us these photographs of a wolf pup and its mother taken about three miles west of the Kawishiwi Lake Road on June 27. This is one of three pups they saw. The others scurried into the woods at the sight of the car. The next picture was shot in the side mirror of the car and shows the mother wolf looking for her stray pup. Look closely to see a tracking collar around mama’s neck. She must have been caught by a live trap set by biologists and collared to help them study the area’s wolf range. – Lee

Don’t you just want to cuddle it?

Don’t you just want to run away?
