[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1787216, member: 91402"] I have had a few interactions with wolves both around home and on my annual trips north. A couple times I've had lone wolves walk up within a few yards of me and check me out. I was armed at the time, (always in the woods), but I just enjoyed the contact and let them be. Wolf packs are a different story. Some friends and I came across a wolf kill one time that was pure meanness. It was a young bull that had been taken down by a large pack and they tore his throat out and ate his tongue and ripped his belly open and ate a few choice organs, and that was it. They left all the red meat intact on one of the best eating animals in the woods. We tracked back the chase and it went on for at least a mile. You could see where he tried to fight them off a couple of times with chunks of fur littering the ground but they eventually ran him into the ground and pounced on him. We kept an eye on the kill site for a few days to see if they would come back but they didn't and soon the bears took it over. Once I watched a small flock of Dall sheep make fools of a pack of wolves that were attacking them on a rocky sidehill.
