Timber Wolf is gray with white and black markings and is the biggest and most cunning of all the wolf breeds in Canada. If you say it was a very large wolf then it was probably a Timber. They also have a very large footprint.

Ya I gotcha your just using slang/common name they are all the same species just people call them different names.

It was painful to haul back a dead sled when the trails were starting to look this good. Ah well, here's to a sled upgrade and a better 2018/2019 season!

 

p.s. thanks again, Evil

Hey Claire Voyant we followed you guys with that Deaddoo on the A trail  from near downtown right to where you turned off to go to the groomer shed on Monday morning Feb.25th. If I'd known it was you we would have followed you to the shed and said hello  Thought that was a pretty cool way to move the sled. It sure didn't seem to be hurting the trail. Sorry about your sled issues.

Not really gobills. The black, gray and arctic wolves are all smaller wolves than the timber wolf. The timber travels and hunts mostly alone or with his mate. The only time you see more than two is if the pups are with them and the female usually keeps them well hidden. The black, gray and arctic wolves will hunt in packs but normally hunt smaller prey. A timber will take down a deer alone but a male and female will take down a moose if the snow conditions are right. The others won't take anything down alone much like a coyote.

In Ontario we have Eastern breed and Western breed ... the Western subspecies is what we refer to as the timberwolf. And yes it is significantly larger than any other breed, and yes almost always seen alone.

It is VERY rare that you would get to see a true wolf, especially a Timber Wolf. They are very smart and their hearing and sense of smell is amazing. The few times you may see one is if they are protecting their kill. 

I have seen hundreds. There was a pack living right across the highway from my house when I lived in Coniston, we would see them almost daily. And we would almost always see them as we rode the northern trails. they like to come onto the trail as it makes travel easy. There is a pack of about 15 living in the area of Chiniguchi lake, we would see them when we rode the lake all the time usually in the southern portion, and at times in north and also on laura lake.

There are only two species of wolf in Ontario, the Grey, which is what you call the timber wolf(Canis Lupas), and the eastern which is much smaller(Canis Lycaon). they both live in packs with a male alpha that has a manogamous mate being the leader, these packs can be as large as forty and as small as five. You will see the 2 adults and also juvaniles as well as yearlings all travelling together.

Sorry  ill disagree with you here there are only 2 kinds of wolves in Ontario.  One being the eastern wolf and the western wolf.

 

Canis Lupus and canis lycaon.  These are the east and western breeds.  Some of the eastern  north american breeds have a small bit of eastern breeds in them these have breed before.

 

Caninential what you are referring to as the Arctic wolf, black, (grey which is wrong) is what most would call the eastern wolf, the timber wolf you are referring to is actually the "grey wolf" you are referring too is a larger wolf.

 

Arictic wolves are just the common name catinental, theses are all under the same canis breed.  I am very well aware of how wolves hunt and breed.  The majority of their food will come from weak animals that have died, this is why wolves have such strong jaws enabling them to crush the frozen animal.

After 3 generations of trapping in mid to northern Ontario, you want to call me wrong, have at it. I am not getting into a disagreement with either of you. If you have seen what I have seen, you wouldn't make those statements.

[gobills]

Im not calling you wrong I'm just disagreeing with what your typing.  Im informed and educated as well on animals.  Studied them in school and my fathers best friend who lives in Dawson city and runs the 2nd largest trapping line in Canada has educated me on wolves and other animals, and also runs a store in Dawson city.

anyway ill add more pics when i stop getting error 200

[Yamatario]

Got to be at least 2 wolves, one that huffed and puffed and blew the piggies house down, and the other one that dressed as grandma.

What's that woodland creature dressed in red?

[gobills]

Rare canyon sasquatch.  He's a hard species to follow as he's a very fast species.  Normally all you see is a cloud of white snow when tracking him.

[Ox]

Now see - I'd'a had to'a put tracks on that!

Perfect day for our last ride this season

[grover_yyz]

I posted most of my pictures for 2017/2018 on the Kap thread. Here is one from my other ride with friends that I found to be interesting. I think would make a good album cover if we were holding instruments. Day 3 of the RAP, trails were excellent back in early February.
