Beloved Yellowstone Wolf Killed By Trophy Hunter

Wolves that call Yellowstone National Park home are protected from trophy hunters, but any that wander just a few miles past the invisible border are targeted.

Wolf enthusiast called Spitfire the "Queen of the Lamar Valley". Her mother was also well known as "the most famous wolf in the world". She was the alpha female of the Lamar Canyon pack, the first group of wolves to be reintroduced to the park from Canada.
