First of all it may be true. I have no idea I wasn’t there. It just seems a little far fetched. In my opinion I bet she ran into the wolves and got scared so she climbed a tree. When she radioed for help she probably told them she was surrounded so she wouldn’t look like an idiot. But again just my thoughts. I have personally come across wolves many times and they have never showed any aggression.

The article says that when the rescue helicopter showed up, the wolves were still there.

She was treed........   Unless you think the helicopter crew id fake news.


Actually, the article says “ they were still there.” Doesn’t say anywhere that anyone else witnessed them surrounding her at the base of the tree. Am I missing that part?

I guess if the wolves were still after she called and they dispatched a rescue helicopter..........     I'd have been up  a tree, too!

I mean, if I had a pack of wolves persistently following me and I could get up a tree, that is where you'd find me.   :-)

WTH do you think they were still there for? They had her treed. They had a human meal planned...

I just saw a post on the Facebook calling it a “wolf attack.”  Seemed like a stretch to me. Who knows if they had her “treed” or if she saw the wolves and climbed a tree while simultaneously peeing herself. I’ve seen enough “grizzly bear encounters” which are actually blond or cinnamon phase black bear encounters to know that sometimes things get blown out of proportion, especially on social media.

I've heard of a couple incidents just like this from back in the 1910's and 30's; but instead of a helicopter it was a group of neighbors that showed up and found the missing person in a tree and the wolves hanging around the base.  The one in the 30's prompted a big hunt which finally got rid of them.

Doesn't surprise me and I don't doubt this will become more common. Also doesn't surprise me that some of the hugging moderators try to down play this.

Riiiight.
I’m going to predict very strong odds of it happening again during the week of August 5th, possibly in the Teanaway.
