Excerpt from the Jackson Hole Daily:
"Yellowstone biologists, Stahler said, are "still trying to get a good handle" on the park's population. But he estimated about 70 wolves remain in the park."
"This year's assessment of Yellowstone's wolves has been complicated by hunters killing collared wolves normally used to locate their packs," Stahler said.
"We're a pretty well-oiled machine when it comes to catching wolves in Yellowstone," he said. "But I would say that losing collars and having packs that no longer have collars makes things more difficult."
Hunters shot the only collared animals from two packs, but one of those packs the Junction Butte pack is now trackable once again."
Info on wolf collaring both in and out of the park:

Last Sunday I saw the yellow plane and a helicopter above the terraces at Mammoth so I figured Doug was out collaring.
