8/10 Stars

It's mostly 60 minutes of Harbaugh scheming to catch and breed the Wolverine. Lots of trap building, scent laying, riving swimming, tree climbing. He gets a good trail on one and eventually catches the damn thing with his bare hands. They wrestle in a wild death battle. Harbaugh's face got all scratched to hell. But I'll be damned if he didn't get that little beast in a sack and take it away for breeding... only later that evening to emerge from his cabin/science-breeding-lab just to let the thing go, saying "I had a great talk with that majestic fury creatire and he convinced me he'd be better off free." When asked how the wolverine communicated, Harbaugh stared blankly at the reporter for some time and eventually responded "I speak wolverine."

Not a bad film. I'd give it 10 stars except for the rather poor sound editing. Worth a Netflix viewing for sure.

watched a couple minutes and will end up showing the kids later this afternoon.

 

have been up in areas like that hunting and fishing, and i could so empathize with the filmmaker as it showed him snow shoeing, tracking, etc.  that is beautiful stuff.  the kids are going to love it.

Sounds right up my alley, watching something outdoorsy. I'm extremely "indoorsy".
Maybe I can get the husband away from his fave comedy shows: "mountain monsters", "finding Bigfoot" and "Curse of Oak Island". Spoiler alert: THEY NEVER FIND ANYTHING.

Took him 21 days in blind to capture his footage, while almost every other animal conceivable was caught on film first, including big cats.

 

It seem they sure love them some Beaver....

 

It's great    to be     a Michigan      Wolverine!

I saw some replies about showing this to kids, just be warned there's a scene with some nasty footage of a dead wolverine around 34 minutes in. Might want to skip that.

I have seen the PBS nature program on wolverines in the past. This is the canadian "Nature of Things" with Suzuki.

First time wolverine kits captured on film!
