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.

Geez... What's the big deal?  The guy walked up on a wolf den at a time of the year when there are likely pups then got chased off and jumped in the river.  If the wolves were hell bent on taking him down as prey I doubt he could have run fast to get away.  Unless of course he was right on the water.  Just my  :twocents:

I was talking about this incident with my dad, a retired mail man. He pointed out a few interesting points to me. Being a mail man he has experience with both attack dogs and pepper spray. 1 their are types of dogs that are immune to pepper spray i.e. pit bulls, and other types have a higher tolerance to it i.e. Rottweiler's. 2 to stop a dog from attacking it has to be a direct shot, it can't be a close spray it has to be dead on, for this reason mailmen carry a form of bear mace not self defense pepper spray. So, with this in mind would a man so scared of a "warning bark" that he ran and jumped unprovoked into a freezing river be able to get a direct spray on a wolf? and would pepper spray work on a wolf?

  Two years later, on September 25, 1998, another Algonquin wolf circled a little girl and despite blasts of pepper spray, didn't leave until the child entered a trailer.
quote from a story on http://www.wildsentry.org/WolfAttack.html
other than this I cannot find anything on a wolf being pepper sprayed other than the Yellowstone incident where of course it is being recounted over and over again as the poor wolf, or it was a anti-wolver trying to cause problems  :bash:

But I thought wolves were shy and ran from people.  He must have been old, sick and weak.
