Topic: Wolf chased son

[Nomad]

 Two of my sons were hunting above the town of Sunbean in Idaho
The older was chased by a Wolf yesterday while returning to his
car the other went to help out as the wolf turn and ran into the woods.
 Both boys and one wife returned home later that day.
 The experience is a heads up for those who are planing on being in the Mountains
near Stanley or near the Sunbean dredge..

Time to SSS?  I wonder if a varmint call will work on wolves.

A friend of mine had a similar experience while bow hunting above Lowman in the Bear Valley area.  Was cow calling in early am trying to coax a bull  into answering, but called in a half dozen wolves instead.  Nomad, had it been me I'd have killed some dogs.

I wish a wolf would chase me.

Yes a varmint call will work on wolves.  In fact anything that sounds like anything to eat will work on wolves.  A barking dog works very well.  Any coyote hunters need to be very careful when calling in the woods.  Sometimes it is hard to tell them apart

my friend at work was packing out his Elk from that area last month.
Covered in blood an 100lbs of meat on his back he turned and had 4 wolves following him.
His just stood still facing them and they slowly wandered off.  Crazy eh?

So they were chased by a wolf. Were they armed? If so I think they were in complete legal justification of using 1K rounds of ammo to ensure that said wolf was no longer a threat.

(Now how do I get chased...)

Its a good thing to remember to keep your dogs and small kids close if your camping this year. I have talked to folks in Cascade and Idaho City that have spotted them, and by the time they have hold of Fido it will be too late. My kids are young and always have a loud whistle around their neck if we are out in the woods. I don't know if that would spook a wolf, but it would get me running and I carry a slightly louder noisemaker.

Do they have any verification? Photos, etc?

Can we expect to see a guest editorial in the Statesman or a clip on channel 7?

Apathy will get us buried.  Go to the front page of channel 7 TV and see the pro wolf video.

The pro wolf crowd is more involved than the Idaho hunters.

It sounds like you need to get them an instruction manual -

Ponder, do you know where those t-shirts can be had?  I'd love to wear one at HP.  Before I get fired.
