In Jacksons Hole in the spring of 1904, in March, Mr. Carrington says two wolves came into the valley. They killed one or more elk and when a crowd got out & killed the [[female symbol]], that was nursing. The male left, but the pups could not be found.
The year before Ray McBird shot 6 wolves in the Hole all together, followed them all day on first tracking snow & shot them all
An old settler in the Hole (John Holland (man of Scio, Or.) said these were the first wolves that had been in Jacksons Hole for 17 years.
None have been known in the Hole since 1904.
