The Wolfer by Loren D Estleman

He knew the ways of wolves better than the ways of men. He was the best wolfer in the territory - Asa North, itinerant bounty hunter, as cold and ruthless as the quarry he stalked. Black, Jack, fearsome leader of the large pack of wolves in the Caribou Mountains, was the only thing North rally wanted. A big reward was offered for Black Jack - a wolf of savage cunning, whose pack had destroyed countless herds of cattle and sheep. And North was set on tracking down the elusive killer and claming the reward. Good reading.

A Great Read

I recently started reading Mr. Estleman's westerns having read Louis L'Amour for the past 24yrs. I felt the story was very well researched despite the lack of literature on the subject of Wolfing. After reading Nicholas Evans "The Loop" I became interested in the subject of Wolfing. I had seen brief references to the subject in Westerns I have read and thought it was a neglected period of Americana. I was suprised to find this book about Wolfing in the Old West. The imagery did indeed remind me of a L'Amour novel and I found the character of R.G. Fulwider a sympathetic one. The "note" at the end, left me wondering if indeed the characters in this book actually existed. All in all a good read and I would recommend it to any western fans out there.
