[[underline]] 79. May 2. [[/underline]].  Got a saddle horse and went with Mr. Nowlin for an all days wolf hunt toward head of North Fork, and on Sorel Creek, in the foothills 15 miles N.W of Lander.  Found lots of snow up along edge of timber where many old wolf dens were located, but found no wolf tracks.

A 17 year old son of Mr. Meridith went with us & showed us all the old dens he knew and then we found the forest ranger, Arthur Roberts, who has taken many wolf pups & who told us where the dens were and all about each.  He is a keen, reliable observer & has lived among the wolves for all or most of his life.  I got much valuable information from him & see how he can be used to advantage by the Forest Service in destroying wolves.
