Jay is joined by Rick McIntyre, a Wolf Researcher in Yellowstone National Park. No one has spent more time observing and documenting wild wolves than retired National Park Ranger Rick McIntyre, who has watched wolves in America’s national parks for more than forty years—twenty-six of those years in Yellowstone, where he has accumulated over 100,000 sightings. McIntyre is the author of the ongoing “Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone” series, including The Rise of Wolf 8, The Reign of Wolf 21, The Redemption of Wolf 302, and the just published Alpha Female Wolf. He is currently at work on a fifth book titled Thinking Like A Wolf, due out in October 2024. He is the recipient of numerous book awards, including an Amazon Best Science Book of the Year. He lives in Silver Gate, Montana, just outside of the NE Park entrance.
