I wasn't in a park, I was in the North West Territories.I suspect that Rangers would probably have a problem with people using that within the park.

Take a look at India, the rupee rate is fantastic at the moment, Great value for your money, ive seen a few wolves around Kanha Tiger reserve, in the outer area's of the park, so no need to enter the park unless you want to see Tigers, flights from the UK about £500 to the centre of India via Delhi or Bombay, February a good time to be in India. try and avoid Dewalli time unless you like powder, which i think is at the end of March.
Any trip outside Europe, is going to have to be in the UK school summer holidays for me.
Rather like my marital status.
I know Jos won't like me posting this ... ( soz, ) but, we lucked in on a wolf in southern Lithuania a couple of months back ... couldn't say the site would be worth a stake out, however, you never know.
However, we did see lots of scats on a trackway in a forest in the north towards the Latvian border.
Presumably the boundary between different groups? We were there in the daytime, but a nearby hunter's tower had a clear view of the track concerned ... a dusk or dawn stakeout would have been fun I'm sure. Of course no guarantee the wolves are at that spot anymore, but a local birder had seen wolves in the forest many times (and lynx four times) over the years ... so they are definitely there. And possible.
Just throwing that one in the mix ...
I remember going out on one of those nights. It was a lot of fun.When I was in Algonquin Park in Ontario, many years ago, the park rangers organized night trips to listen to wolves. They would call them and the wolves would answer. Everyone was told be very quiet and not talk or slam their car doors. I found it amazing that a big convoy of about 40 or more cars could park and get out of their cars without a sound. The wolves did answer the rangers call. I don't know if they still do this there or not.
If you are going to Yellowstone, focus on Lamar Valley and Hayden Valley areas for wolf.
I also saw Indian Grey wolf this year at Velavadar in Gujarat but no striped hyena.
I think Denali in Alaska is supposed to be good for wolf too.
