Chased a wolf today

[wolfbait]

I come upon this doe and last year’s fawn and a wolf was after them, they just hit the road so I pulled up within 25 ft and the wolf just kind of stood there lookin at me, the doe’s tongue was hangin and so was the fawns. I hit the ditch and jumped out, I think  the doe thought she had help cause she took off after the wolf and for a while there we were chasing the wolf together but then she pulled ahead n when I came down over this little ridge that drops down into this little bowl and I could see the doe and fawn, but no wolf so I just kept dropping down and pretty soon the wolf loped out of the brush below where the deer were.  So I headed right after him he acted like he really didn’t know what to do , kind of loped around me looking and then he headed for Mountainman1 outfit. NO gun, No Camera, but the doe was real happy to see me. I called Mountainman1 and told him what had happened and that maybe he could get a shot at him. With the camera of course

It was fun as hell, I was real mad when I took off after it, and was real surprised how the doe acted, it was like we were on the same team, which of course we are. But it was kind of cool to actually see it happen that way. might have turned out different if there would have been more than one wolf as it really wasn't scared of me.

Twisp-Carlton RD, this wolf was real light colored and kind of shaggy.

[mulehunter]

Cool... Your lucky to see it... Were it Male of Pack or one young 2 years old from two years ago? or recently last spring pup? 

I wonder...

They have those cameras that mount to the barrel of your rifle.  Remember to turn it on next time and get a good shot.

Too bad you didn't chase it with some "lead"!  Still, good job on possibly saving that doe or her yearling; hopefully they cleared out of there before the wolf circled back on their trail.  S.S.S. and WA wildlife won't end up meeting the same fate as the wildlife in MT and ID.
