Directional Movement Phase

During this phase, all three wolves left the immediate vicinity of the

release point and headed southwestward. Early in this phase, wolves No.

11 and 13 rejoined (by March 15) and traveled 9 miles (14.5 km)

west-southwest of their previous day's location, while No. 12 took a

more northerly route. Nevertheless, by March 19, No. 12 had joined the

other two wolves near Skanee, some 14 miles (22.5 km) west-southwest of

the release point (Fig. 17). For the next several weeks these wolves all

remained together and travelled a straight-line distance of about 40

miles (64.1 km) to a point just north of Prickett Dam about 11 miles

(17.6 km) west-southwest of L'Anse, arriving there on March 24 (Fig.

17).
