Executive Summary: Wolf populations have been monitored in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (YUCH) from March 1993 to present. Beginning October 2005 the project was incorporated into Central Alaska Network (CAKN) Vital signs monitoring program as a cost shared venture. Wolves throughout Yukon-Charley Rivers area are targeted for monitoring of abundance and distribution. All monitored packs routinely travel outside the Preserve, some extensively. This past winter, wolf captures were conducted in November 2011 and March 2012. Monitoring radio collared packs via radio telemetry flights will occur throughout the year with a concentrated period of flights in March – April and again in September – October. All...
