Figure 19.—Locations and range of wolf 1051. Lines are NOT travel routes; rather they merely indicate sequence of locations. Only selected lakes are shown.
From February 26 until April 24 the movements of 1051 were strongly indicative of dispersal ([fig. 20]). His average weekly straight line move during that period was 25 miles (compared with 6 miles per week before this period), and until March 14 he maintained an almost straight south-southwest heading to a location west of the town of Castle Danger. After that the animal traveled a series of northwest-southwest alternations that on April 3 took him east of Big Sandy Lake to a point 129 miles southwest of where he had begun the dispersal. There he remained for about 2 weeks, but between April 17 and 24 he traveled 26 miles northwest. We last saw him at 3:30 p.m. on April 24 heading northwest through a swamp 15 miles southeast of Grand Rapids, approximately 122 miles from where he had started. The total of straight line distances between 16 consecutive pairs of locations taken at intervals of from 1 to 8 days was 226 miles, which is the minimum distance the wolf traveled during his dispersal.
