This film takes me back to my own wolf experience. On my 5th visit to Yellowstone in 2007, I had the thrill & honor to photograph a wolf & her 4 pups. It was amazing! For close to an hour & a half, I photographed pups playing just across from me in a small body of water. My finger did not leave the shutter.I took over 400 photos & was still shaking from adrenaline 5 hours later. I never thought I would see a wild wolf for more than a few seconds. This might have been a once in a lifetime experience. I truly hope not. But if it was, I am still honored to have experienced something few people will ever be able to. This film brought back the excitment of that day to me. Thank you for a beautiful & intimate look into the lives of these awesome wolves.

In 2004 I spent 3 days in the backcountry of Slough Creek. It was 3 of the best days of my life. Found wolf tracks,but never saw one. I’ve wanted to go back since. This film gave me the thrill of being there again.Thanks Mr. Landis for this stunning film.

Excellent work Mr. Landis! The film was outstanding and brilliant! Its becoming more and more important to learn about wolves. Great footage on the Druid Pack and Slough Pack as they compete for Lamar Valley. Its a flawless piece of art, thank you Bob Landis.

This is wonderful story telling and one of the best of Nature. I wish shows like this would get more airing than just PBS because of the educational benefits. The majority of the people I know think that wild animals are bad and dangerous. Somehow they don’t know that we are the most dangerous animals on earth.

Thank you Mr. Landis and all those involved in the making this film. I laughed, I cried, I loved it!! This is what television programs should be. This is why I support PBS with my donations.

WOW!!!!!! What a GREAT FILM to show our grandsons and bring back memories for them!
We spent so time in the Lamar Valley and had an opportunity to see the Druid Pack attack a heard of elk and this film brings back the memories. The hunt was in our sights for a few moments as the wolves disappeared behind the hillside.
Since then we have taken our grandsons back to see the Druid Pack in the Lamar Valley. They had an opportunity to see the Druid Pack with pups playing across the valley. We understood the the pack had a kill over another ridge and we noticed three adult wolves and about four pups.
I want to Thank Mr.Landis for taking the time our of his life to document the plight of the wolves in Yellowstone so we can reflect on our experiences in one of the most beautiful places on earth!

As a young child,I was tormented by nightmares of wolves hiding under my bed to attack me if I left the bed. Thank you for your beautiful portrayal of a most intelligent animal. THANKS FOR YOUR DEDICATION.
