Oh no, Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my, and now wolves! What is a backpacker to do?http://www.state.me.us/ifw/wildlife/wolfreview.htm

Wouldn't you just love to hear one of these guys howling on
a full moon night while camping out in the outback AT?

Woodsy,

I'm here a little north of Littleton, NH and have twice over the past 10 years seen a wolf in this area, both times in back of my old home in Lyman, NH. My property backed up on a large tract of woodland. I know several others who have spotted wolves(always solitary, never any group sightings) in the general area(Littleton, Lancaster, St. Johnsbury, VT). There are mixed reactions from conservation experts on the validity of these sightings, but I feel comfortable saying that there are wolves here in NH in the vicinity of the AT, especially from Moosilauke through Crawford Notch area. As to howling, most of it around here is from the coyotes and dogs - and local teenagers.
