Wolves In Yellowstone/montana

This gallery is composed entirely of wolf shots, the majority of which were taken in Yellowstone National Park (YNP). Of the Yellowstone photos, most are of the Druid Peak pack which no longer exists. This exstinction was caused by a number of reasons, mange, parvo,inter pack warfare and the shooting of animals that leave the park. There are also a number of photos of the Slough Creek pack that now no longer exists. The most recent photos (taken in March 2011) are of the Lamar Canyon pack. These animals are now in territory once occupied by the slough creek and druid packs, (the silver pack photographed in Mach 2010 is no more). The blacktail pack is still going strong with 14 members.. We were also foutunate to see some agate and molley pack members. This gallery contains some good photos of the agates taken in september of 09 near LaHardy rapids. Over all the wolf population in the park has dropped from aprox. 140 last year to aprox. 85 now. By the way, the wolf with cub photos were not taken in Yellowstone, but rather were controlled photos taken at animals of Montana near Bozeman.

    Hi Bob.
    I was glancing through the great photos in your galleries and saw that some of your photos you have made available for commercial licensing while others you haven't. I was wondering if you were open to making some of your other photos (particularly the photos of the Yellowstone wolves) available to commercial licensing. The reason for my inquiry is that I am a youth wildlife filmmaker in the middle of producing a documentary on the wolf hunting controversy and the story of Wolf 755M's later life. I think that if made available, the photos of the Lamar Canyon Pack before 06's death would fit very nicely into the film. If you're not comfortable with having the photos licensed, I completely understand.
    Thank you,
    Justin
