Posted on Rockslide, Spokane rez
« on: December 07, 2021, 08:29:59 PM »
Went out hunting tonight and after about an hour I suddenly heard a deer bawling then goes quiet then the deer bawls again, so I get down with my bow in hand and go investigate, and to my surprise it was a pack of wolves 70 yards away 3 of the wolves broke away think they seen me I called a park ranger and asked if we could shoot wolves and yes we could, I started filming them with my camera then suddenly a wolf showed up at 10 yards on the other side of a tree it worked around the tree to my Left and when it got in the opening at 18 yards I released an arrow and it hit its mark then as I was looking at the rest of the pack another one came running at me I yelled to stop it and when it stopped I guessed to be 30 yards. another arrow on its way and it hit its mark, it was an encounter I never thought I would have, but glad my new mathews v3 was dialed in... hope there's not alot of haters about wolf killing as I would never thought I would of had to... to add what was so unnerving was that the wolves had no fear of me...

Unreal. Way to keep your bearing and make shots count. An AR 15 would have been handy!

Awards should be given to this tribe and it's members for harvesting 7 this year so far. Solid management we can all get behind.

And just like I stated before. Create a photo contest that is for tribal members only, or anyone if you dare, that's solely for wolf hunting with a huge payout. This guy deserves an award.

With a bow!  Unbelievable to double up.  Thanks to the OP for posting the story from the hunter.  Thanks to others for posting the link to the hunters account and the photo.
