BUCK AND ESTHER TEAM UP TO
EXPLORE WOLF ENCOUNTER BEHAVIOR
After weeks in the wild, we love to celebrate with a cold draught and good fresh food….
We met on the Alaska Peninsula while focusing on the more commonly seen brown bears. Wolves howling outside our tents at night led to the idea of documenting their lives too and Buck decided to tell the story of Alaska Coastal wolves.
Esther accepted to co-produce and the on-camera role.
