Wolves at Elsas, Ontario




In August 2006, Tracey and I canoed the Chapleau River from Racine Lake near Chapleau to the remote, nearly deserted (population 2 plus a few transient railroad workers), town of Elsas in northern Ontario. Elsas is accessible only by canoe, float plane or railroad. Several wolves lurked around the railroad camp hoping to sneak odd scraps of food. Most of the time you would only catch fleeting glimpses of them, but this one was exceptionally bold. One of our most exciting wildlife encounters - kinda gave us goosebumps.

Don't get me wrong - I like ice fishing but this is not it, at least in my experience.

Maybe next year???
