Wildlife photographers are believed responsible for baiting wolves along Bow Valley Parkway â with turkey meat.
Banff National Park wardens are investigating a Jan. 5 incident in which a wolf was seen feeding on human food in the ditch along the parkway in an area where there were three photographers â two from the Bow Valley and one from out of the area.
No charges had been laid at the time the Outlook went to press.
Steve Michel, a human-wildlife conflict specialist with Banff National Park, said there was a âfairly substantial amount of food,â but Parks Canada has no way of knowing for how long the wolf was feeding on the turkey meat.
