wolves

It's almost automatic that if you have a log cabin in Wyoming, I will love it. If you have one where you can watch elk, deer and bear from the deck, you had me at hello.

There's nothing quite like watching a pack of wolves running along the road and howling as they run back to the pack. Honestly, it reminds me of my parents hound dogs who have similar howls as these little fellas do. Of course, the hound dogs are not nearly as dangerous!

We all know how scary and vicious nature can be but let's face it. Animals gotta eat just like the rest of us and in the words of one of my favorite Disney movies "It's the circle of life." - The Lion King.

When the pups approached the trail and got close to hikers, most of the people moved away.

Wolves have always been stellar hunters, but it's always crazy to see just how precise and un-afraid they are when taking down this elk in Yellowstone National Park.

There's a national contest to submit the best trail cam video. Wyoming's entry is a night video of a wolf pack out on the prowl.

It's not exactly breaking news that wolves and elk are natural adversaries. But, it's not everyday where you get to see video of their conflict. That's exactly what happened recently at Yellowstone National Park.

In the park, pets must be physically controlled at all times.

The department says annual monitoring is vital to the ongoing management of wolves in Wyoming.

Not all of the wildlife in our country's first National Park leave for the winter. The bears hibernate, some migrate, but most must endure Wyoming's harsh wind and cold.

Two wolves rest on a crest of a hill near Yellowstone National Park. A few bluejays are scavenging alongside the two.

Sometimes in Wyoming when you are fishing, you have to stop for traffic. The traffic however is not cars, but elk tromping though the river. Gotta love Wyoming.
