It doesn't say that the wolves caused the caribou's disappearance. "The reason for the caribou's disappearance has not been ascertained. However, the history of the species on Isle Royale correlates well with that on the mainland. Before 1900 the caribou was common in northeastern Minnesota (Sw...

Yeah you're definitely right Don it would take a long time before they reached high enough numbers to cause significant harm. I think for the Isle's ecosystem to remain healthy they should either reintroduce females to prevent extinction or wait till they go extinct and reintroduce a new pack at som...

“We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something known only to her and to the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wo...

I think they should introduce more females wolves to the Isle soon. It would be a shame for the Isle not to have them and the moose would eventually destroy the eco-system. It would also be hard to get people to re-introduce them especially with our country's negative attitude toward wolves.

Do you think this could be the end of the wolves of the Isle, if this female fails? I know their opposed to reintroduction.

I was reading the blog about the study and it seems there is only one female wolf left on the Isle Royale, is this true?

I was reading some Leopold and thought of the Isle Royale wolves..their so lucky to be so undisturbed by man. “We reached the old wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes – something know...

I figured I ask if anyone was interested in creating a resource web site for the Isle Royale? There's a few out there but most are unattractive or outdated. You guys all seem very passionate and knowledgeable so I think it would turn out great. I own a server and have a few free domains left, so it ...

I'm tore on what camera to bring to the Isle! I brought a Canon PowerShot S1 (I believe it was roughly under 1 lb) last year. I got some decent pictures but I wish I could have got better pictures.

Is there advantage of hiking Windigo Harbor to Rock Harbor over RH to WH? We will be taking the queen so we would have to wait til the next day to catch the Voyageur II. I will talk to my girlfriend and see if she is willing to do a thru-hike might take some convincing >.> lol. How strenuous is a th...

Hey, everyone we went on our first to the Isle in 2011 and it was awesome! We were originally going to go to Glacier this summer but plans fell through and the Isle is calling us back. I was wondering if you guys could give me advice for a second trip? I kinda want to do something different this tim...

Yeah that probably would make sense thanks for the link! Here is a blog of whats going on in case anyone else was wondering http://www.isleroyalewolf.org/wsjournal ... index.html

Whats the current wolf status? I read the report about only 16 being left awhile ago. Is there any more updated information? Thanks

Hey everyone I am going to be on the isle the 13th to the 18th. I'm kinda upset it seems like it is going to storm the whole trip.. What do you guys think of the weather? Should I expect constant rain most of the trip? I'm hoping it will rain for a bit and be clear the rest of the day. Also should I...

I've been bending them by hand trying to soften them up. Should I wait till my left foot feels better before I even try them on again? I might have had they laced too tight in the beginning and my foot was not bending when I was walking. I'm thinking this is why my the top of my foot hurts. Sorry I'...
