Our trail camera placed on a beaver dam deep in the remote wilderness of the Kabetogama Peninsula in Voyageurs National Park captured the wildlife and natural beauty that truly make Voyageurs a spectacular place and a national treasure (…and a hidden gem in our opinion)!
We set this camera on this beaver dam in hopes of getting footage of wolves crossing this dam. We thought the dam was likely on the border of two pack territories (Nashata and Shoepack Lake) but we wanted to confirm (we were correct!).
What we really wanted to know was how many wolves were in each pack, which wolves were still alive in each pack, if the packs had any pups, etc. As you can see in the video, there is a collared wolf (Wolf V074) in the Nashata Pack and then an ear-tagged wolf in the Shoepack Lake Pack (V036).
Wolf V036 was likely the mother of Wolf V074 as Wolf V074 was a subordinate member of the Shoepack Lake Pack before leaving the pack and joining/forming the Nashata Pack. There is still much we do not know about these two packs but footage like this is super helpful!
This video shows the best footage from this camera from summer to fall 2020 and we will soon share another video with footage from this camera from fall to winter. That is, this is part 1 and part 2 is coming soon!!
