Wolf dines near Stanley, Idaho—interrupts slack season in tiny
mountain town
By Lynne Stone
Friday May 5, 2006. Stanley, Idaho. A large gray wolf stirred up our
tiny mountain town of Stanley yesterday as it killed a runt yearling
elk calf within view of the city limits. Stanley librarian, Jane
Somerville, saw the wolf among the local elk herd about 9 a.m., and
shortly the wolf had chosen its prey and pulled the small calf down.
It was over quick. After the kill, the herd of some 60 elk moved
about 100 yards away and continued to forage on the Spring grass...READ

Wolves return to Sawtooth Valley SNRA, Clayton packs bring new
hope, tensions
By GREGORY FOLEY,
Express Staff Writer
On a clear, spring day this month in the Sawtooth Valley north of
Ketchum, Curt Mack, gray wolf project leader for Idaho's Nez Perce
Tribe, surveyed the foothills of the White Cloud Mountains for signs
of wolf activity.
"This is good wolf country," he said. "They can den in the hills and
then come down to hunt. There's plenty of territory and plenty of
food along the edges."
He pulled off state Highway 75 and into a lightly vegetated pasture,
where he soon began to talk about the 19-or-so packs of wolves that
inhabit Idaho lands, including one small group that has settled amid
the forested hills near Champion Creek.
"It's an alpha female and an alpha male," he noted. "They just
had their first litter with five new pups."...READ
