Since 2012 we have seen a rise on the number of sightings of big-game predators.  Several of our workers on the ranch have seen wolves and cougars during the day, and we continue to find wolf tracks around the ranch.  This has caused us problems with hunting, especially in early 2013 since the wildlife seem to move out of the area when the wolves move in.  We work with local wildlife officers and have reported each sighting so they can keep tabs on the packs in our area.  We will learn to cope with this new threat to our wildlife programs, but it won’t be easy!  Stay tuned as we wait for our game cameras to capture our first wolf pic …
