1st of October marks the start of the scientists’ annual wolf counting periond in Norway. The counting is mainly done by following wolf tracks on snow and trying to find out how many wolves resides within the territory based on the different tracks, but also by collecting stool.

Tbt the wolf tracking in 2015 with Foreningen Våre Rovdyr. Unfortunately I missed the tracking this year, but I am planning on a camping trip to the Rotna pack’s territory in some weeks ^^, Maybe, just maybe I will at least hear them this year!

What is the wolf tracking

Every year I go to track wolves with an organization that works for wolves here in Norway. We just follow a wolf track that is everything from a few hours to a few days old, and just see what the wolves have been up to :3

I have totally forgotten to tell you guys that I was camping in a wolf territory called the Rotna-reviret this summer! I saw or heard no wolves, but I found tracks! Not only from adult wolves, but also puppies! I will post them later.
