I had always wondered why I never saw wolves while growing up. I had not realized their tenacity through the ages and it was later in life I saw - one; at a great distance. The language around the topic of wolves was always the same..........get rid of it if you can. If one is around, others are as well. They are no good in the prox- imity of people or livestock. Until residing in Alaska did I find out why wolves must be pursued via air-craft for controlling their numbers. As difficult as it is on foot or horseback, inovation won the day, back in the day. Today, however, airplanes have leveled the playing field somewhat. Not that the aircraft is dominant in 'that field' but controlling the numbers is obviously very important. Without the airplane for wolves, management would be near zero..................you can't get there from here, if you know what I mean.? The hardiness of past wolve hunters is incredible. It amazes me how inovating people can become - if driven to it. Which seems to be the case in years gone by. I'm glad we have the airplane. Great stuff, Tom. Very interesting reading.
