Excerpt from Wolves, in Relation to Stock, Game, and the National Forest Reserves
By reference to the map on page 7 it will be seen that the present distribution of wolves includes most of the forest reserves Of the western United States, except those of California. The natural infer ence would be that these forest reserves serve as breeding grounds. From which the wolves raid the surrounding country, killing. Stock and retreating again to forest cover. Such is not the case, however. As will be apparent from a careful study of the map of 20 breeding dens in the Green River and Wind River basins of Wyoming. In Plates I, II, and III are shown wolf dens and their location in this region.
