Wolf incident
Just received a report about a incident that happened to a buddy a few days ago.
He is a operator and was checking one of his wells when a pack approached him and he had to climb the jack and remain there for over a hour till they moved off far enough for him to climb down and bolt for his truck. Elk river road/sabre road area good luck! |

Wolves killing humans has always been "suppressed" information. there have been many documented incidents but is poo poo'd as wives tales by the government.
the whole concept of a "noble" wolf is a joke... A wolf pack is like a street gang.... very similar behaviour... |

I don't doubt that. We stopped to take a few pics of a wolf pack west of Abraham Lake a few weeks back, and you'd think they'd of taken off when I got out of the truck, well they actually came my way.

I guess we got ours trained better they see a vehicle and they are going, going, gone.
They can really get moving when a piece of lead goes over their head. Ken. |

My recent issue of F&S has a one page article of a woman in her 50's who was bowhunting alone in Idaho and had a wolf come in on her. She killed it with the .44 Mag she had on her at 10 feet; it wasn't a case of feigned self-defense in order to kill the thing as she had a tag for one anyways, but was hoping for different quarry that day. The wolf was 90lbs, the article has a photo.

I have heard lots of stories from grader, skidder, Cat and truck op's of packs of wolves coming in for a close look while working in cut-blocks, some packs running with graders and Cat's for a few hours. One half deaf trucker claimed he was bending over chaining up and he felt something "smelling" his arse, so he whipped around to see 4 wolves looking at him.
I have had more then a few close encounters with Canis Lupus. Never seem to have a gun with me though. |
Well it can't all be an wolves tail. Who here hasn't heard of Little Red Riding Hood's Grandma? I mean c'mon it was all over the news for a hundred years.:thinking-006:

Makes my skin crawl
Back in 02, I drove into Chinook Lake with my 4 year old to get one last open water fishing trip.
We were the only ones by the lake when we heard a pack howl, and they were damn close! 1/2 hour later I saw them just inside the bush about 60ft away as we walked back to the truck. No fear, checking us out. I only had my knife. The one time I left my dog at home. Geeze! With these stories, I think back to that time and... Brrrrr! |
From the Sulphur River cabin guest book in the Willmore. :D

I have seen lone wolves and wolf packs before, but they have never come towards me or acted aggressively.
This doesn't mean that I trust them, that would be foolish. The thing to remember is that they are wild animals and carnivores, treat them as you would any other possibly dangerous wild animal. If one or more of them approaches you, don't think that they are just being "curious" or "friendly". This is just nonsense that has been created by animal activists & children's authors (as Nekred said: the whole concept of a "noble" wolf is a joke...). If you are armed, respond in the only language they know. If you can show them that attacking you may result in the deaths of one or more wolves, they will look for prey elsewhere. |
Less tall tales. More shooting.

Last december I called in a pack and shot the alpha female, while I was checking her out, the pack came back. They stayed in the cover at about 40 yds for over 15 minutes barking and howling at me. They finally moved off when I walked toward them barking at them. I hoped I could get a shot at one. I must admit, I felt small in my shorts.

Lots of documented incidents of wolves attacking people in Europe.
Why would their behavior be much different here? |

About 7 years ago, right at sunset (early winter); we had 17 of them run us right off Smoke Lake when we were ice fishing. They started coming closer, we packed up. They kept coming closer; we left. We left and they followed to the truck all the way off the lake. There were cubs and every shape and size... afraid of people, I think not... hungry, I think so.

I've always argued that a rifle should be as mandatory as a first aid kit.
