saw it on accuratereloading... this is some of the post accompanying the photo (names removed)This email should be read by anyone who hunts, camps, or spends any amount of time in the woods in northern Idaho. Last night I received a phone call from my mother who lives in Headquarters. She informed me that on Sunday while bow hunting she was attacked by a wolf. A few of you know that she is not your typical mother or grandmother. She has worked as a professional hunting guide for many years, so she has spent many hours in the woods. She has seen wolfs on many occasions and this is the first time one came at her.She said as soon as the wolf saw her it charged.She was able to drop her bow, draw her 44 mag out of its holster, and put 1 round in the wolfs head at a range of a few feet. Please let any of your family and friends know of this so they can take whatever precautions needed while out in the woods.

Are you sure this happened in canada, I recieved the following email from a pretty reliable source in Idaho, sounded like it happened in Idaho?Shane is the one whos hounds were eaten in the clearwater...."This wolf came running toward Rene last night to attack her. She had to drop her bow & pull her pistol. She shot it in the head about 10 feet from her. She had to shoot it a couple more times to actually kill it. CRAZY! This – not even a week after Shane’s dogs were killed by wolves."

Idaho hunters bag 30 wolvesFOUR HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN THIS REGIONBy ERIC BARKER of the Tribune | Posted: Thursday, September 29, 2011 12:00 amThrough Wednesday morning, Idaho hunters killed 30 wolves, including four in the state's Clearwater Region.Five each have been harvested in the Panhandle and Island Park wolf-hunting zones at opposite ends of the state and seven in central Idaho's Sawtooth Zone. In the Clearwater, one wolf has been shot in the Palouse-Hells Canyon Zone and three in the Dworshak-Elk City Zone.Rene Anderson of Headquarters shot a male wolf with a .44 caliber handgun while bow hunting near her home Sunday. Anderson said she didn't set out to kill a wolf but felt compelled to when the animal made her uncomfortable. She had done a little cow calling about a half-hour before and was working to get to one of her favorite spots. Her eye caught some movement and she thought it was a wolf."I kind of ran over the hill," she said. "He apparently seen me and I stopped and he was coming directly at me and kept going so I just laid down my bow and picked up my pistol and I shot him in the head about 10 feet away."The wolf was close enough and seemingly determined enough that the experience spooked her. She said it clearly saw her and should have known she was human."The reason it bothered me so bad is the wind was at my back. I was sweating and the wind was blowing right at him."She normally doesn't carry her .44 but her husband convinced her to take it. Anderson said she would have preferred to shoot a wolf later in the year when the weather is cold and the animals have their winter coats."This is the warm season. The hair is falling out. You got to wait for the cold season when it is long and pretty. I wouldn't have done it except that it was a scary situation."The wolf season in Idaho opened in late August and runs through March 31 in much of the state but lasts until June 30 in the Lolo and Selway zones. Hunters can kill up to two wolves per calendar year and trappers can take up to five. There is no quota on the number of wolves that can be killed in the state. However, some hunting zones have individual quotas. Updated wolf harvest totals are posted on the Idaho Fish and Game website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/hunt/?getpage=121.Barker may be contacted at ebarker@lmtribune.com or at (208) 848-2273.
