Bummer
I missed your deadline
I have no photos since I have encounter this Wolverine at night
I was going to ask for a proposal for Grant money to do research on my frequent encounters with a rather surly fellow in Southwestern Ohio that is a Wolverine. unfortunately my encounters have been at night , so grant money is being requested for night vision cameras to get a night photo of him
Hello Natalie. We currently are not offering any grant dollars, and regarding you reported wolverine sighting in Ohio, such would certainly be worthy of further investigation is we had some bit of verifiable information about a wolverine presence that far out of the wolverine’s range. As you are probably aware, there has never been a verified sighting of a wolverine in Ohio. Trail cameras have gotten to be fairly inexpensive and most all will take infrared photos at night. If you could provide us with something more than your observation, it would be most helpful.
Best regards,
Jeff
