the top of the first rocky ridge, then down and off into the timber after deer. I had enough of following wolves that were hunting deer yesterday, so left those & climbed the next ridge, a burnt over, glacial gorge hogback of granite about 500 feet high.
Near the top I struck the tracks of 4 more wolves that seemed to keep in pairs but run together.
These followed the whole length & down the other side, while 2 others had come back & crossed their tracks & gone the other way.
I followed all of these tracks, forward & back as long as they staid on the ridges but left them when they went into the woods. They explored all the rough & cliffy places but showed no signs of having dens.

Transcription Notes:
In geology and geomorphology, a hogback is a long narrow ridge or series of hills with a narrow crest and steep slopes of nearly equal inclination on both flanks.
