WYOMING — It’s a once-in-a-lifetime sighting that one Montana man was lucky enough to see. Doug MacCartney saw not one, not two, but a pack of about a dozen wolverines while hiking in the Teton wilderness.

With more than 30 years of experience in the National Park Service and now a guide with Yellowstone Insight, Doug MacCartney has seen some wildlife.

“As far as wildlife sightings, yeah, and that beats out seeing somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 bears in a day up near McNeil River,” said MacCartney on Friday.

But it’s a rare wolverine sighting that MacCartney counts as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that really even comes close,” MacCartney said.

It happened when MacCartney and his two colleagues explored the beautiful Teton wilderness in August.
