A number of sightings of wolves on the Fernberg Road and south along FS 377/Tomahawk RD toward Lake Isabella have been reported. Seems early morning has been the best times. One group reported seeing a radio collared wolf. If they also had subsequently seen a moose, bear and white tail deer they indicated their trip would have been complete and they would go home early. Well they did not and completed their 5-day BWCA trip starting a Moose Lake, over to Wind Lake onto Wind Bay, Hula Lake and ending at Wood Lake. Great fishing, swatted some mosquitoes and are already planning next year's trip.
A moose sighting!
Great to report a moose sighting given all the news that the Minnesota moose population has been on a steep decline for the past 2-3 years. A group traveling along Island River, entry point 34, reported hearing a load crashing noise coming through the woods toward them. Waiting to see what it was...a moose came rushing out of the woods toward the water not caring what was in its way. It immediately immersed itself in the river until only its head was showing. Seems the bugs finally got the best of the moose.
