Wolf Reactions to New Lures

I put out several new lures from the Southern Snares and Supply line this week and was able to get dozens of videos from these two males from last year's litter.  One is collared as part of the monitoring that the Wisconsin DNR conducts on our wolf numbers.  

EDIT: The DNR asked me to add in this blog that I did NOT put these lures out FOR wolves, but rather I had them out for my bear tag, which is legal, however I was not expecting the wolves to come in.  After the wolves came in, I did not place more lure, per WI law.

What I find so very interesting is the territorial response; the rolling, urinating, rubbing, backscratching, etc.  These wolves stayed in this one spot for OVER 10 MINUTES!! If there were an open trapping season, I would have caught both these wolves at this set.  Also study the paw placement for future trapping.
