When I'm in the bush my biggest concern is the wolves. We have plenty of brown n black bears n moose around n they deserve respect. But wolves are smarter , more cunning n can work together for the greater good.
My beautiful wife n me got to listen to a moose get taken down one night while laying in bed 100 yards or so NW of our cabin. That was interesting. And she has had several conversations with them as she howels off the cabin deck.. I enjoy staying on my moose stand after it gets dark to try to observe them or just listen. Just no other critters out there that can think like they do. They always seem to know when we're at our cabin. And enjoy leaving me crappy gifts. As I suspect they know exactly who what I am after a few years.
The land here is moraines that are shaped like a cigar. They will make drives into the wind along the edges. 2 wolves, one on each side.
I have seen n heard them responding to my moose calls. And missed a pure white one a couple years back. I've yet to harvest one.
I realize that human wolf encounters are rare. And so are wolf population densities in our area. We have lots of wolves less prey. It's not far fetched in my mind that a crippled or teenage wolf wouldn't take a shot if it was available. If they are packed even more so.
I guess that for me I feel these wolves are dangerous in that they are sooooo cunning. And can work together smartly ! And their hungry.
