Nelchina Basin Wolf Studies

Between April 1, 1975 and June 30, 1980, 103 individual timber wolves representing up to 22 different wolf packs were captured and radio-collared in Game Management Unit 13 (Nelchina Basin) of Southcentral Alaska. Cost and problems associated with helicopter darting are discussed. The 103 radio-collard wolves were individually located on 3,525 separate occasions resulting in 6,927 wolf sightings. Pack and individual wolf histories are presented and discussed.
