I Came to Yellowstone to Find Wolves 

thank you so much!

it's almost an art form for some of these spotters

tThank you! Glad you enjoyed!

it's a magical place! You'll have a great time!

Thank you! It's a magical place and I hope you can make it out there!

Thanks Seth! I'm personally loving the video side of things so I'm hoping to do it more seriously in the future!

Thanks! I stayed in Gardiner which was about an hour drive from Lamar Valley. There are plenty of hotels and lodges in town that make it very popular for visitors trying to stay up north. Though to be honest Silver Gate and Cooke City are much closer to Lamar Valley and would be a better choice if your sole focus is just wolf watching in the valley. The downside is that you would totally miss out on the other wolf packs that might be seen along the northern range in the morning, though I’ll admit I have yet to ever see them as more than a dot on the horizon. Either way you have to be prepared for long days and plenty of driving!

400mm f2.8. I should have put on my 1.4x teleconverter but they popped out so quickly that I didn't have time to react

Nope I stayed in the town of Gardiner and drove in every day. I've camped before but I never get good sleep camping in bear country so 4 walls is required these days!

I was shooting with a 400mm lens, which is honestly not long enough most of the time. Most encounters were from about 400 yards off, except for the last one with the Junctions which was maybe 250 yards

Thanks Sharon! I'm using Davinci Resolve since it's free!

Very true. Wolves are the hardest animal that you can regularly spot, but rarely get a good photo of. If you even manage to spot a mountain lion or wolverine then you go buy a lotto ticket
