It’s good to see that someone finally interviewed Norm Bishop, a gold mine of information on the park and on wildlife, and wolves.

It was a good article, glad to see Mr. Bishop and Rick were interviewed.
I still have to find someone in Gardiner or Livingston to agree with the $Millions brought into the park due the wolves.
I don’t want to change the threat topic but not many locals want to believe.
One thing dor sure that I have found; wolf watching is the best in the winter. Lodging, except in Cooke City, is more available and cheaper. Gardiner is almost a ghost town. However, wolf watching was at its finest.

agree with you 100%, I have always seen wolves in the park during the christmas break, and for the most part they have been close to the road or closer than during the summer.
We have had a few summer days when I did not see them. That does not mean that someone like Rick McIntyre and his team did not see them.
Good thing about the summer, if you don’t see wolves, I always have my fishing gear with me.
