. . . To him who has once tasted the reckless independence, the haughty self-reliance, the sense of irresponsible freedom, which the forest life engenders, civilization thenceforth seems flat and stale. Its pleasures are insipid, its pursuits wearisome, its conventionalities, duties, and mutual dependence alike tedious and disgusting. The entrapped wanderer grows fierce and restless, and pants for breathing-room. His path, it is true, was choked with difficulties, but his body and soul were hardened to meet them; it was beset with dangers, but these were the very spice of his life, gladdening his heart with exulting self-confidence, and sending the blood through his veins with a livelier current. The wilderness, rough, harsh, and inexorable, has charms more potent in their seductive influence than all the lures of luxury and sloth. And often he on whom it has cast its magic finds no heart to dissolve the spell, and remains a wanderer and an Ishmaelite to the hour of his death.

Uneatin Wolf Kill

A dead cow elk, aparant victim of wolves, left largley un-eatin. I have found several like this during the last couple of years. This one was on the Selway and judging by the smell was at least a week old.



This has been one of the reasons I believe the wolves have been so devestating on our elk herds in some areas, they don't just kill to eat, when elk are in a weakend state they seem to kill for sport and eat very little from each animal.
