Came across a wolf while deer hunting

[Goosesniper]

very interesting experience.

my wolf story:
this past fall bear hunting up near timmins i was able to watch a pack of wolves in a clear cut. I watched them mill about for about 20 mins eating berries (from a comfortable vantage point). they started slowly working their way toward my position (unknown to them) until 1 was at 100 yds and 2 were somewhere inside 100 but no longer visible.

i decided at that time they were close enough for my comfort level so i stood up and waved and made noise. They had no issues running straight for the tree line. an hour later they were back where i watched 1 bed down at 125 yds. again i stood up and made myself known, they took off again slowly. with no bears likely coming out, and me nervous, i left for the truck before end of legal. i wasn't prepared to walk in the dark. i made it to the truck and not 5 min after heard the pack howling out in the cut a couple hundred yards away. pretty cool. for fun i howled back and after another 5 minutes the howls were eerily close, perhaps under 25 yds. if i wasn't safe inside my truck i may have needed new pants.

i had no desire to shoot them but i have no issue saying i was more scared than i've ever been out hunting

Another great story.

Very cool story. I was in Algonquin park a few years ago with my wife. We were driving down Opeongo Lake rd at dusk looking for moose when we heard wolves howling. I stopped and turned off the truck and determined they sounded pretty close. Suddenly one stepped out on the road behind up, then a second in front of us. One of them was wearing a collar as well.

There is a reason so many fairy tales have a wolf as the villain. They are surprisingly large when you see one close up. Those legs! Much longer than a dog’s.

These are some intense wolf stories I enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing.

At our Moose camp,we see wolves there all the time. They're bold AF,coming almost all the way up to the camp. They're huge animals for Eastern Gray wolves,so,they must be well fed. We're in a "protected" area. Shooting them isn't an option and it's almost like they're aware of the fact because they won't scatter when someone is present. Rather,they slip into the tree line working their way around the camp. It almost makes one feel like an ambush is about to be sprung. It can be kind of unnerving. Moose we get are quartered and hung high on the meat pole or,guaranteed,the wolves would have every scrap. A member has amazing videos of them trying everything they can think of (even trying to climb the tree) to get at the meat. They truly are skillful,majestic,beautiful animals,but,let there be no doubt,they're extremely dangerous to be messing with. We always keep rifles handy just in case despite it being a protected zone.

Haven’t you ever heard of the SSS treatment? 😉

To bad you didn’t shoot him (if there not protected there). Though for all any body who lets one pass by, don’t complain about low moose/deer numbers

Last season had similar encounter in 82a, but I think it was a coyote.

While walking to a deer blind around 4.30 am, my headlamp lit a bush with 2 eyes glowing at me. Carry on walking my way, noticed thats following me. At this point, decide that I gotta show dominance to avoid any situations, made a few steps towards it and it ran.

Oh yeah,sure we have. Some of our guys have arrested people and seized firearms for it.

Poor chaps, I wouldn’t do it myself, but I understand why some folks in the next township do (I live one township from the ban) I know a guy who finds deer kills at least twice a month, and has had his dogs killed by wolves.

was hunting deer early November about 10 am overcast and cool midland area was walking extremely slow maybe i would come up on a deer, suddenly i looked over my left shoulder and a huge golden wolf comes running past me about 50 yards away i was really surprised as to how fast he or she ran threw the woods in front of me and disappeared. The next day i went for a walk with my wife down the trail it was again about 10 am but extremely foggy suddenly there was more than one wolf howling pretty un-nerving we never had wolfs here before in our area until about 5 years ago, now it is some thing always on our minds when we go out in the woods
