Take Me Outside: Wolf in the sky, foxes on the land
The January full moon which occurs on Monday, Jan. 13 is called the Wolf Moon. Sources vary as to the origin of the name. Yet one thing is certain, when the name was assigned, wolves were more common than they are now. Gray wolves were once widespread in New Hampshire until habitat loss and hunting eliminated them. The last record of a wolf in the state was in 1895.
