Unknown scientific fact about the Whiskey Point Pack: they are deviants. This video is all the proof one needs (volume up for the full experience)! For 7 long minutes these 3 vicious pups assaulted the poor defenseless camera. Like most prey, the wolves went after the most vulnerable part...

I see 3 young wolfs, intrigued by this strange thing, trying to explore it while also playing with it. Needless to say, their survival depends on knowing, as best as they can manage, everything that’s going on inside their territory. Stay safe , young pups! ❤️🐺❤️🐺❤️🐺

Would love to see what would happen if you left a few sturdy dog toys underneath the cam.. like a lacrosse ball.

Seems to me all are predator style. Wild life Animals really do not like outdoor cameras, 🤣

They really wanted that camera. Plus side, it got some great shots of their teeth. I’m sure the dentist is happy to get a good look without sedation. 🤣

A rare glimpse at the territorial nature of wolf packs. Instances like this probably happen regularly as wolves aim to maintain/expand their territory and eliminate neighboring wolves (i.e., competitors for resources). These snippets show the breeding pair of the Windsong Pack venturing out of their territory to chase the breeding male of the neighboring pack (the Blood Moon Pack). If the Windsong Pack had caught up to this wolf, they would have undoubtedly killed him. But they didn’t. The chase did not last very long—a handful of minutes with a straight-line distance of just under a mile. The first clips of the chase were from a camera on the edge of a beaver dam. The breeding male of the neighboring pack (Wolf Y1T) crossed the dam and clearly knew he was being followed. A minute later, the Windsong Pack passed by in pursuit. The next clips were captured about 4 minutes later on a second camera just under a mile to the north of the first one. On this second camera, Wolf Y1T was running full speed. However, the Windsong Pack while in pursuit, appeared to be slowing down. A minute later, the Windsong pair walks back past this camera…the chase had ended. About an hour after that, the Windsong Pack crossed the beaver dam that the first camera was on in their return trip to their territory. Interestingly, about 2 months after this video was captured, Wolf Y1T’s mate was killed by the neighboring pack to the south (Biondich Pack). Since the pack was only two wolves (Y1T and his mate), this event left Y1T by himself and the status of the Blood Moon Pack up in the air. However, within a few weeks, Y1T found another mate and through some series of events, Y1T and his new mate booted the Windsong pair (i.e., the wolves in this video pursuing Y1T) from their territory this past summer, and took it over. As such, Y1T and his mate (the Blood Moon Pack) currently occupy the Windsong Pack territory.

We set this camera in a new spot last fall where a deer trail crossed a remote hiking trail. This video is a distillation of 7 months of footage totaling >2 hours. Suffice it to say, we were pleased with this spot and we hope you enjoy the footage! The camera was put up in late October. Most of the first videos captured were during the rut when several bucks were traveling on the deer trail. One buck, in particular, was a bruiser in terms of body size. And then as the rut winded down, the number of bucks on camera dwindled and does started using the trail more frequently for the rest of the fall and winter. Of course, wolves traveled on both the hiking and deer trail throughout the fall and winter. In some instances, wolves traveled down the hiking trail and then stopped to smell deer tracks on the deer trail. We suspect they were assessing how fresh the tracks were and therefore how close a deer might be. In some instances, wolves veered off the hiking trail and ventured down the deer trail, and in others, they continued down the hiking trail. Notably, we put this camera here because this is where the Cranberry Bay and Nashata Packs overlap. You can see both packs on cameras. Cranberry is the larger pack and Nashata is the smaller pack with a whitish wolf with green-ear tags. As mentioned above, we distilled >2 hr of footage into a 6 minute video. We did not include much of the nighttime footage, which was mainly of a snowshoe hare that spent a ton of time in front of the camera and deer traveling at night down the deer trail. We included most wolf footage in the video but there were a few nighttime sequences we excluded because they weren’t great quality. Interestingly, though, we did not get a ton of other wildlife on this camera other than wolves and deer.

The first footage of wolves eating raspberries to our knowledge! We captured this footage last summer when the Bug Creek Pack pups spent a good while foraging for berries in this patch. Of course, we have known for a while wolves eat raspberries as we have sifted through many scats full of raspberry seeds. However, we’ve never observed the behavior before. Just a few months ago, before we were aware we captured this footage, we actually published a scientific paper on the “berry-eating” behavior of wolves. The big takeaway from our study (link to study below!): based on our data, wolves foraging on berries in our area is an extremely widespread behavior and one that almost every wolf we have studied engages in when berries are abundant. We have captured trail camera footage of wolves of all ages, sexes, and social statuses (i.e., breeding or subordinate wolf) from several packs foraging on berries. All of this indicates “berry-eating” by wolves is likely pervasive across large portions of southern boreal ecosystems in places like Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec. However, given the lack of summer research on the foraging ecology of wolves in these areas, we think this behavior has just gone unnoticed. Although, there is evidence based on scats collected in these areas that wolves are foraging on berries. Now, it is important to understand why wolves eat berries and to not misconstrue this finding with the notion that wolves eat berries because they prefer berries over animal prey. Wolves do not have digestive systems that are meant to digest plant matter and berries effectively. Thus, berries are almost certainly "starvation food" for wolves; as in, the wolves are starving and berries are the best option given the circumstances to stave off hunger and slow weight loss. All this to say, wolves are not eating berries instead of other animals because they prefer berries over meat. We have no doubt that if a wolf had an option between a meal of berries or of deer/ beaver that it would choose the latter every single time. Catching deer and beavers, wolves primary summer prey, is extremely challenging for wolves in late summer, and likely requires extensive energy expenditure. Thus, instead of spending substantial energy hunting prey they likely cannot catch, wolves turn to berries, which are abundant, taste good, and likely make them feel full. In other words, all evidence suggests wolves are just eating berries to slow starvation and weight loss. Read our recent study on the “berry-eating” behavior of wolves for free here:

On New Year’s Day, we captured this footage of the Blackstone Pack, a large, predominantly Canadian Pack, trespassing deep into the Listening Point Pack territory on the Kabetogama Peninsula. The Blackstone Pack was a large pack at the start of early winter as we had several observations of 9 wolves together. By mid-to-late winter, though, the pack seemed to have dwindled to 5-7 members. However, we do not have great data on the changes to this pack's size because the pack’s territory is predominantly in Canada. We suspect their territory is on the north shore of Namakan Lake, directly to the east of the Kabetogama Peninsula in Voyageurs National Park. The territory likely includes Blackstone Island in Namakan Lake, hence the name “Blackstone Pack”. That said, we think their territory likely includes the northeastern tip of the Kabetogama Peninsula; specifically, the area in and around Kettle Falls, meaning the pack does occupy a small sliver of our study area. The reason we have any data on this pack is because they made periodic excursions into our study area this past fall and winter, and were captured on several cameras. In total, we documented 7 such excursions with some of these excursions lasting several days. And of course, they could have made other excursions not captured on camera. On one excursion, the Blackstone Pack crossed through 3 pack territories—Listening Point, Mithrandir, and Cranberry Bay—before returning to their territory. Of course, all of this highlights why having many trail cameras is extremely helpful for understanding these dynamics. Without a lot of cameras and a lot of footage of the various packs in our area, we would have struggled to piece this all together. I.e., we wouldn’t know who the “resident” wolves in an area are, and who the “intruding” wolves are. But with enough observations from trail cameras, we can tell, based on physical appearances, which wolves belong to which packs, and that helps us make sense of the data we collect.
