Sagerat, it's funny you say that because that's the exact way I felt... creeped out. Just like the yote and the deer, you could see it in their eyes.
Like the others I've came across, this one wouldn't even show up in one of those WA "pack maps." I spotted tracks, of maybe a "pack" of 3 walking smackout some miles away 5 weeks prior. Doubting it's the same ones, because if they were so rare, then why do I pick them up everywhere I go?
