Went out hunting tonight and after about an hour I suddenly heard a deer bawling then goes quiet then the deer bawls again, so I get down with my bow in hand and go investigate, and to my surprise it was a pack of wolves 70 yards away 3 of the wolves broke away think they seen me I called a park ranger and asked if we could shoot wolves and yes we could, I started filming them with my camera then suddenly a wolf showed up at 10 yards on the other side of a tree it worked around the tree to my Left and when it got in the opening at 18 yards I released an arrow and it hit its mark then as I was looking at the rest of the pack another one came running at me I yelled to stop it and when it stopped I guessed to be 30 yards. another arrow on its way and it hit its mark, it was an encounter I never thought I would have, but glad my new mathews v3 was dialed in... hope there's not alot of haters about wolf killing as I would never thought I would of had to... to add what was so unnerving was that the wolves had no fear of me...

Not sure anyone is going to top that. Lock the thread. I can recall a conversation with one of my Alaskan guides a couple years back who said after asking what was the one thing he was most afraid of out in the wild, as I assumingely answered for him “a brown/grizzly bear”……he replied no, not at all. A pack of wolves. Too many to keep track of and they are methodical in the moves they make.
Ive literally seen them running in a V type formation, running down elk. They are not to be trifled with.

Dang! Good job staying cool under stress, and good shooting! They're definitely formidable animals--I can't wait to get my first encounter.
