Uncover new discoveries and connections today by sharing about people & moments from yesterday.
  • Introduction

    In the 1930s, though, the area between Red Lake and Lake Itasca hosted such an animal. It was a huge male timber wolf with a propensity for slaughtering deer. Eventually the wolf – dubbed “Lobo Minnesota” – became the subject of radio alerts and newspaper reports and its whereabouts became the subject of countless discussions. Trappers and hunters from allover the state came to the area to try to collect the $500 bounty the wolf’s hide would bring. Despite extensive efforts to trap or poison Lobo, the wolf managed to outwit all challengers for 12 years. The man who finally stopped the wolf’s bloody career was Algot Wicken, a trapper who specialized in wolves.
