Chasing California's Wolf - Jay Simpson

The reintroduction of wolves in the lower 48 United States has been a touchy subject for years. Since they've been delisted in certain western states from the Endangered Species list, some municipalities have worked hard to kill all of the wolves in their region, while other areas have been more reserved in reaction to their new neighbors. Jay Simpson recently collected a crew of his friends to follow 1,200 miles in the paw prints of wolf OR-7, a solitary gray wolf who loped from Oregon to Northern California in order to better understand the region in which the wolf is choosing to make his home. Simpson shares some happy news - OR-7 found a mate. But on their expedition, each of Simpson's team members did fall victim to one bloodthirsty critter, that they ruthlessly killed by the dozen: the mosquito.
