Find more information about Buffalo Ridge wolves on Ralph Maughan's blog:  http://wolves.wordpress.com/2008/02/23/buffalo-ridge-ternination/ (Also, a search of Ralph's site will bring up older stories about the Buffalo Ridge Pack.)

We are remembered by the tracks we leave behind.

Buffalo Ridge Tracks, May 2006.

Named for a landmark rock formation above Bay Horse Lakes, the Buffalo Ridge Pack formed in 2002 and has been one of Idaho's most visible and best known since. The wolves live and den in the vast Squaw Creek watershed and other nearby tributaries to the Salmon River. Mule deer and elk are abundant in this area.

My son and I have had wonderful adventures searching for the Buffalo Ridge Pack. Here we are on North Butte:

Sometimes the wolves howl, bringing a thumbs up from a wolf seeker.
