How to find wolf scats

 

The best way is to use scat-detecting scent dogs; at the present, I simply don't have the funds to hire a dog and handler team to help me. So, I plan to work closely with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Mexican gray wolf project to help me. They will provide locations for wolves from radio telemetry of collared wolves, and I will drive and/or hike in to find scats in the area.

I know from past experience that wolves frequently use roads, trails, and stream beds to travel about their territory. I can use this behavior to my advantage in finding wolf scats.
