. . . the wolf just kind of stood there lookin at me . . .

. . . So I headed right after him he acted like he really didn’t know what to do, kind of loped around me looking . . .

No Camera . . . I called Mountainman1 and told him what had happened and that maybe he could get a shot at him - with the camera of course


Wolfbait, you've got to get yourself a RIFLE!

I took the my wife's rig to town no guns in there, just briefly, I thought about diving over the bank and trying to take it out with the car, but rejected the idea. Thinking of what the sheriff would say about one dead wolf and a totaled car. ;)

That was cool Wolfbait!
I've had one similar situation in the wild with a deer and coyote but most often it is with my own sheep, goats, and chickens. When I have a coyote, bobcat, or raccoon after my animals, the sheep will be looking back at the house for me to come out and rescue them. The chickens are the alarm and that is when I grab the 22 and head out the door. The sheep will then file in behind me as I go after the predator. The chickens will hide as best as possible and only come out when they feel it is safe which is usually after a gun shot. Then most of them get brave. I've had a couple roosters that would go up to the animal I shot and they would spur it as if they are showing it who is boss. I get such a kick out of those times.

Even an unfriendly goat or sheep will get closer after such an occurrence.

Especially when the rig is 700 yards from the road....   :chuckle: Once you commit to going off road to take on that endeavor ---- well, I guess you are committed.

It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need one and not have it.                                                                             Local 66 sheetmetal workers

Wolf bait  I thought you were an upstanding redneck! what the hell are you doing unarmed? i must say i'm very disapointed!  :( At the very least you should be carrying a 12 gauge with those bean bag rounds! just cause you can't kill 'em don't mean you can't harass em....  :bash: Why does every one else have all the luck!
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.

I had a buddy that wrecked his 3/4 ton chev chasing a cat into the ditch... he got the cat... And he did the whole thing with his lady at his side and she NEVER said a word!
