“[R]eading Rick McIntyre’s memoir My Life With Wolves feels exactly like I imagine it would be to sit at Granddad’s knee and hear tales of watching, studying and caring about the wolves of Yellowstone Park for more than 25 years.”
Winnipeg Free Press

“The prolific author, former park naturalist and wolf interpreter has turned his focus inward, a memoir that also includes stories of moose, a grizzly bear and wolves.”
Billings Gazette

“In his long-awaited memoir, McIntyre offers valuable lessons about wolves and our relationships with wildlife. . . McIntyre is a master at seamlessly weaving the latest science into fascinating new stories about wolves.”
—Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today

“Whether you’re a devoted wolf enthusiast or just appreciate great storytelling, this book offers a rare chance to experience the raw ecosystem through an expert’s eyes.”
—Outside Bozeman

"A combination of amusing anecdotes and thoughtful interpretation of animal behavior should inspire readers to take a look at their local wildlife, even if it’s a tad tamer. A contented life on the edge of the wild."
Kirkus Reviews

"For decades, Rick McIntyre has been telling us the story of Yellowstone’s wolves. Now at last he tells us his own story: a rewarding account of an enigmatic man who has dedicated his life to a misunderstood species. Thanks to Rick, the world understands wolves a bit better, which makes this a tale of a life well-lived."
—Nate Blakeslee, author of American Wolf

“I thought I knew Rick McIntyre, but there are many surprises here and, of course, the storytelling is, as usual, top notch.”
—Douglas W. Smith, former senior wildlife biologist and project leader for the Yellowstone Gray Wolf Restoration Project

"The stories Rick McIntyre tells build bridges and change minds to make the world a better place for both people and wolves."
—Lucy Cooke, author of Bitch: On the Female of the Species


Rick McIntyre is a retired park ranger and the author of the “Alpha Wolves of Yellowstone” series for adults and “The Chronicles of the Yellowstone Wolves” series for kids. Celebrated as the most prolific wolf observer in the world, McIntyre has been profiled by media outlets like This American Life and National Geographic; has been awarded conservation medals; was a key player in the 1995 Yellowstone Wolf Reintroduction Project; and forever changed the way the world views alpha wolves through his public speaking and writing. McIntyre lives near Silver Gate, Montana, where he is retired from the National Parks Service, but still rises early to observe the Yellowstone wolves every day of the week.
