Wow, I was thinking about hunting not too far from there for the late deer hunt.  What's the Tueller Drill distance for a wolf?

They are everywhere  :dunno: I could see how someone who has no idea how big a wolf is could mistake it for a coyote ,especially when it looks like one but much larger ...

The hunter is a friend of my son. He called last night and told the story to my son, he was surrounded by wolves they hunted him and they had him surrounded, I want to talk to the guy myself and then I will post the story as told by the hunter who this happened.

This article sure disputes some of the more absurd allegations against wdfw regarding wolf management and their position on wolf/human interactions that I've observed on this forum.  Some folks like to portray wdfw as seeking to make an example out of some innocent fella that has a run in with a wolf...but its pretty clear wdfw believes this guy did the right thing.  It also mentioned that they are using DNA to make sure the wolf shot in pullman was definitely a wolf before they even consider recommending any sort of charges...and last but not least, their website apparently advises people to kill wolves/fight back if a wolf does indeed attack or act aggressively.   :dunno:  While the chance of an encounter with an aggressive wolf is extremely small, there is no doubt that WDFW enforcement staff fully support the right of individuals to defend themselves.

All of this makes those silly proclamations from Stevens county politicians seem even more silly.

I hiked in on FS Rd 4320 down to the ridge between Blue Buck and Lightning creeks ne of Winthrop on the opener. I caught something out of the corner of my eye in the cut above me. I looked up to see one wolf traveling in the same direction I was about 200 yards up the cut, trot up next to another that was sitting there staring down at me.
When I moved my rifle to grab my IPhone to try to get a pic, they both took off over the ridge line in a flash. They seemed to be very well conditioned to what a rifle is. It might just have been a coincidence, but they definately reacted when I moved my rifle.
BTW, After seeing  these two, I would find it hard to believe anyone with even a little bit of wood sense could not tell the difference between wolfs and coyotes.
There was no mistaking the two.
