The wolf has travelled miles from where the Wolf Conservation Trust is and still hasn't been captured yet.
I'm somewhere between Coldash and Curridge and the wolf is believed to be in a very large area of rural land behind Down House.
There's a helicopter circling overhead, trying to keep an eye on the animal, there are teams of police out, along with Animal Capture UK, a company that specialises in capturing wild animals.
They are trying to get a transmitter dart into the wolf so they can then follow its position exactly.
Then they really have no choice but to use a tranquiliser dart to make the wolf fall asleep so they can take it back.
