KALISPELL State and federal officials are investigating the deaths of at least two wolves in northwest Montana.
State Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials say hunters found a dead male wolf in the Middle Fork Flathead River on November 11th. The carcass has been sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Five days later, tribal and federal officials say they found the carcass of a collared female wolf of the Hog Heaven Pack.
Authorities also are investigating a report of a dead wolf-like canid in the interior of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex.
The location can’t be reached right now due to snow and the report has not been confirmed by F-W-P.
