Call of the wild
Wildlife experts say a wolf pack may have settled in northeastern Utah. It would be the first permanent pack since the Great Depression. The endangered animals generally just stop by Utah and return to Wyoming, Idaho or Montana.

But
Kevin Bunnell, mammals program director for the Division of Wildlife Resources, says a pilot's report of five wolves in Daggett County could mean the pack is back. "We do think it was a credible sighting and we've done a lot of follow up to try to confirm."

A second theory held by Daggett County Democrats is that the pack was only in the county long enough to register to vote for Sheriff
Rick Ellsworth in the next election, then returned to Wyoming.
