Stuart Tidwell has his eye on a U.S. Senate seat. His hopes hinge on those who seek the right to kill wolves "by any means" in most parts of Wyoming. Cally Carson's commitment to a viable, protected population grows over the course of a summer spent observing wolves. Manuel Herrera, a disabled Vietnam Veteran who played a role in the reintroduction campaign, worries the initiative may be headed south. An attempt to remedy the perceived slide leads to unexpected outcomes and strange alliances.About the Author: The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has been Kelley Coburn's home for over sixty years. The reintroduction of wolves in that region proved to be a sentinel event. Members of the community his family helped settle back in the 1890's were either passionately in favor of the proposed initiative, or vehemently opposed. The intensity of those convictions was expressed in words that had the ring of dialog clipped from a good novel. Coburn asked himself, "Why not?" Two decades were spent visiting with park officials and livestock owners, hardcore environmentalist and hunting guides. Watching Wolves is the culmination of that effort.
