The moment Ted Turner stepped forward and peered through a spotting scope to see the place where the first wolves, dispersing from Yellowstone, had been feeding on a winter-weakened elk. Phillips had phoned Turner and informed him that wolves were back on the ranch, fulfilling the media mogul's desire to have his property be a home for every wildlife species that originally inhabited that southwest corner of the Gallatin Valley. After Turner received Phillips' call, he headed for Montana immediately to bear witness. Today, the Flying D is home to one of the largest wolf packs in America and its presence has not had a major negative impact on Turner's private bison or with public elk that live on the ranch and pass through it.
