Summary:

A trapper legally killed a 9-year-old alpha male and his 2-year-old son outside Banff National Park. Researchers studying the original Bow Valley wolf colony were monitoring the wolves. After the trapping of Storm and Yukon, the long-established pack was reduced to 2 wolves: a young female and her 8-month-old pup.
