Minnesota Wolves

I saw my first one north of Togo probably in the late 80's.

The Junction Bar is gone, but the wolves are still there.

Dang. When I first started hunting there it was Togo Joe's, then the old place burned down. I think I still have the Junction Bar t-shirt: "Where the pavement ends and the dirt begins". Some great hunting memories from up there. We hunted off the Holstrum trail on the Valley River Road. Went back a few years ago, the place had been logged, couldn't find the old stand sites.

In the 60's we would hunt wolves up near the canadian border by Ray and Loman. Lots of the wolves we shot were alone. I'm in Douglas county and could hunt them right here. Lots of sightings over the last 10-15 years. A friend of mine invaded a den and took two pups about 20 years ago and raised them as pets------that den was about 4 miles from Forada and 6 miles from Alexandria.

Isn't that not only illegal, but dangerous? Wolves instincts are so removed from the domesticated dog, and I don't believe rearing pups would make them "like" humans any more than their wild raised counterparts.

I've been out there where the Valley River (river? really?) crosses the spur and the power line. Seems like there was a blob of orange every 100 yards or so up and down the power line. The Valley runs very near our land.

They have some pictures up at the Junction facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Junction- ... 8644301562 Asking Price is $179, 900 and Includes Eight Acres. Seems wildly optimistic to me.

I don't have a yote/hand reference on photobucket and will have to see if I have one on the hard drive.
