A population of wolverines was studied in NW Montana for 5 years, 1972-1977. Twenty-four wolverines were captured; 10 individuals were recaptured 74 times. Twenty wolverine were fitted with radio transmitters and 576 locations made over a 4-year period. A minimum population size of 20 was estimated for the 1300-sq.km area, or one wolverine per 65 sq.km. The population was believed stable. Abies habitat types appear to be selected.
