Wildlife photographers are believed responsible for baiting wolves along Bow Valley Parkway – 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 – 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 “fairly substantial amount of food,” but Parks Canada has no way of knowing for how long the wolf was feeding on the turkey meat.
