It would be cool, but I'd rather be able to reach out and "touch" one if given the opportunity.  Good luck.

Not intentionally  :chuckle:  I will be packing my AR along for the first time this week in the longshot event I see a wolf while I'm out deer hunting with family.  I've never hunted or used red dot sights before though...if I see one I will probably rely mostly on magazine capacity  :mgun:

LMAO! hehe

as far as them getting "that close"... heck yeah. I'd love to take one iwth my longbow at 5 yards... Im not saying I wouldn't have my 44 or 10mm on hand... but I dont think I'd worry about them getting too close for a shot...

After talking to another bow hunter today. He has taken several wolves with his long bow. He enjoys the hunt.  I may have to give it a try some day soon. Though im still not sure on that yet. I still need more practice.

I would think that a tree stand would be a requirement!
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Humans have hunted with far less lethal weapons.
