Wolf 20M  (Son of 9F and 10M) (Rose Creek Pack) (1996)

"On June 14 an encounter with the Druid Peak Pack resulted in the death of the yearling #20M."

Quote:

Wolf 19F (Daughter of 9F and 10M) (Rose Creek Pack) (1997)

"When #19F, who denned alone near the eastern edge of the Rose Creek territory, was killed by the Druid Peak wolves, her four pups were less than two weeks old and they died from exposure and starvation. "

"The Druid Peak wolves have been continually aggressive in defending their territory. In 1996, they killed the original Crystal Creek Pack’s alpha male, displaced the remaining wolves from the eastern Lamar Valley, and killed another yearling male from the Rose Creek Pack. This year they slayed #19F of the Rose Creek Pack in April 1997."

Quote:

Wolf 34M (Chief Joseph Alpha Male) (1997) (Badly injured)

"In January 1997, #34M made an out-of-territory foray across the northern range and through the territories of three other wolf packs. He was photographed on one occasion being attacked and badly injured by five of the Druid Peak wolves. It is interesting that he survived this encounter. It is likely that he also received wounds in an attack by the Rose Creek wolves. Not surprisingly, he retreated back to his former territory, but was accompanied by two 21-month-old sisters from the Rose Creek Pack (#16F and #17F). The three were located together with #33F in late January."
