32.
Leaving this set of ridges I struck north out a still rougher & barer group & found the track of one large old wolf, made during the middle of the day & followed it over the top & down the other side & out into the swamp. Then returning I crossed back over the ridge & took the back track & followed it a mile or two west along the crest of a side ridge, to where it had come up out of the timber from near Ives Lake. It was now nearly sundown so I started home & in the woods crossed 2 more fresh tracks that I did not stop to follow.
I am now positive that the wolves are not yet  breeding, but some seem to be hunting dens in the rocks.
