Never Cry Wolf is a true story in which author Farley Mowat, who is a biologist, spends an entire season studying the habits and habitats of wolves in a remote area three hundred miles northwest of Churchill. The area, called the subarctic Barren Lands, is of interest to the government and specifically the Department of Mines and Resources after they receive ongoing complaints regarding the decreasing deer population.
