Wolf incident

[BANG]

Just received a report about a incident that happened to a buddy a few days ago.
He is a operator and was checking one of his wells when a pack approached him and he had to climb the jack and remain there for over a hour till they moved off far enough for him to climb down and bolt for his truck.
Elk river road/sabre road area
good luck!

[duncan4]

wow thats crazy. did he clean his pants out shortly after?? they musta be hungryyyyyyy! someone should take some bait out there im thinking. or is it to late in the year to bait.

[twytter]

yea and i got attack by a wolf pack last year,and then again there is some idiots out their saying that wolf doesnt attack people

[thunderheart]

thats gotta make a man nervous alrighty .....i had always heard/understood that wolves will leave a man alone.... perhaps thats just wives tales
glad your chum is ok and lived to tell the story

[thunderheart]

yea and i got attack by a wolf pack last year,and then again there is some idiots out their saying that wolf doesnt attack people yup sounds like wives tale what i was told .. interesting info thanks

[twytter]

they only thing that saved my life from these wolf was my 300win mag,i dont know if they knew i was a human,cause i was hunting elk and was all camo up and had some elk urine all over my clothes to take away the human smell,but they came after me

Wolves killing humans has always been "suppressed" information. there have been many documented incidents but is poo poo'd as wives tales by the government.

the whole concept of a "noble" wolf is a joke...

A wolf pack is like a street gang.... very similar behaviour...

Sounds like you were baiting them! Just kidding I know what you mean, I too was out calling moose a few years back, and look up and there were 3 of them trotting down the cut line towards me. When I stepped out from cover they scattered, went into the bush and started to howl.

[TBark]

I don't doubt that. We stopped to take a few pics of a wolf pack west of Abraham Lake a few weeks back, and you'd think they'd of taken off when I got out of the truck, well they actually came my way.

I guess we got ours trained better they see a vehicle and they are going, going, gone.
They can really get moving when a piece of lead goes over their head.

True - however I remember reading that they had become habituated to people, and had lost heir natural fear of man. Additionally they had been hanging around the camp(s) eating scraps and garbage.

[CaberTosser]

My recent issue of F&S has a one page article of a woman in her 50's who was bowhunting alone in Idaho and had a wolf come in on her. She killed it with the .44 Mag she had on her at 10 feet; it wasn't a case of feigned self-defense in order to kill the thing as she had a tag for one anyways, but was hoping for different quarry that day. The wolf was 90lbs, the article has a photo.

I have heard lots of stories from grader, skidder, Cat and truck op's of packs of wolves coming in for a close look while working in cut-blocks, some packs running with graders and Cat's for a few hours. One half deaf trucker claimed he was bending over chaining up and he felt something "smelling" his arse, so he whipped around to see 4 wolves looking at him.

I have had more then a few close encounters with Canis Lupus. Never seem to have a gun with me though.

[Redfrog]

Well it can't all be an wolves tail. Who here hasn't heard of Little Red Riding Hood's Grandma? I mean c'mon it was all over the news for a hundred years.:thinking-006:

[bessiedog]

Back in 02, I drove into Chinook Lake with my 4 year old to get one last open water fishing trip.
We were the only ones by the lake when we heard a pack howl, and they were damn close!
1/2 hour later I saw them just inside the bush about 60ft away as we walked back to the truck. No fear, checking us out.

I only had my knife. The one time I left my dog at home.

Geeze! With these stories, I think back to that time and... Brrrrr!

I have seen lone wolves and wolf packs before, but they have never come towards me or acted aggressively.

This doesn't mean that I trust them, that would be foolish. The thing to remember is that they are wild animals and carnivores, treat them as you would any other possibly dangerous wild animal. If one or more of them approaches you, don't think that they are just being "curious" or "friendly". This is just nonsense that has been created by animal activists & children's authors (as Nekred said: the whole concept of a "noble" wolf is a joke...).

If you are armed, respond in the only language they know. If you can show them that attacking you may result in the deaths of one or more wolves, they will look for prey elsewhere.

[steve]

Less tall tales. More shooting.

[st99]

Last december I called in a pack and shot the alpha female, while I was checking her out, the pack came back. They stayed in the cover at about 40 yds for over 15 minutes barking and howling at me. They finally moved off when I walked toward them barking at them. I hoped I could get a shot at one. I must admit, I felt small in my shorts.

Strange part is in that highly populated, industrial area, they want them back. Penalty for shooting one is right up there, in the ten thousand plus Euro zone. Recent case in Germany, where a hunter dispatched one, injured in a road collision. Animal was about toast, but the court found him guilty, saying he should have taken it to a veterinarian. :lol:

[curtisb]

About 7 years ago, right at sunset (early winter); we had 17 of them run us right off Smoke Lake when we were ice fishing. They started coming closer, we packed up. They kept coming closer; we left. We left and they followed to the truck all the way off the lake. There were cubs and every shape and size... afraid of people, I think not... hungry, I think so.

I've always argued that a rifle should be as mandatory as a first aid kit.

[chimpac]

I got in the habit when I was in boy scouts of carrying what we called a staff. Lord Baden Powell must have thought it was a good idea for scouts to have some protection from bad people and animals.
The staff I carry now is a hoe handle with a big butcher knife welded to a 1/2" bolt that is screwed into the hoe handle. It has a steel sheath to cover the blade and contact the ground. In winter I screw in a harrow tooth that is also good for protection and cutting a hole in ice.
Maybe I would be fast and mean enough to keep a pack of wolves from eating me.

I once saw one that was like a six-gun in .410 built for flares, and bear bangers.

Right now, if I can't pack the shotty, I bring my .22 starting pistol. Makes a good amount of noise, and is an 8-round revolver.

Yes and then you may die in the resulting forest fire.

[albertadeer]

Yup....Sounds like some people shouldn't be going into the woods....


Wolves are nothing to be afraid of. I have had half a dozen close encounters (10m or less) with the canines. Some at almost arms length. Not once did i have a gun, my bear spray was out but i have never had to use it on wolves.

Instead of worrying about defending yourselves from wolves. Worry about tripping or falling...Thats what claims the most lives out in the great wilderness.....So go buy the best footwear, not a new defender style gun.


If you find yourself surrounded by a pack. Be happy, you are seeing some of natures most fine tuned machines up close......

But yes i know, they can kill you and it does happen. But not if you dont put or get yourself it that situation. Sometimes they will be curious and scare the chit out of you. Yes, you might be attacked....But not likely...

One of the operators up here was out in the choper sending gas well pigs and 2 huge wolves charged at the helicopter and walked around the edge of the lease.they never did send that pig.I was down in the area today on the quad and the bigest wolf tracks I have ever seen down there.They wont wont let us carry a gun,I hope bear spray works lol

another wolf a couple weeks ago went after a operators truck tires

I don't doubt that. We stopped to take a few pics of a wolf pack west of Abraham Lake a few weeks back, and you'd think they'd of taken off when I got out of the truck, well they actually came my way.

Oh man would it ever! In the end i guarantee one would wish it was a bear or cougar attacking them...



I was doing Regeneration surveys in cut-blocks south of Slave lake 3 years ago.

It was mid November and there was deer sign all over. I was walking along grunting and bleating (while working) i was right along the edge of the block and heard foot steps, i thought it was a deer coming so i got my bear spray out. Soon a huge black wolf bounded out right at me. It stopped at less then 5yds and stared at me for a few seconds before retreating to the timber, i then heard something behind me and whipped around to see 3 more wolves running away from me...I was supposed to be dinner. I will never forget those yellow eyes staring into my soul, creepy feeling...

This happened in a helicopter access area, chopper was on a fuel run...I was alone for another 2 hrs......

And of course i tried to call them back in after....I got them to howl for a while, but they soon moved off to kill some deer....

2 weeks ago me and my buddy were bear hunting when we heard a howl close to us we howled back just to see if we could get them to respond, as we were walking up the ridge we saw 3 of them running in our direction they came 300 yards before they stopped. They saw us but didn't scatter, I ended up taking a shot dropping one.

I use the blade in summer and the tooth in winter, its better than an axe for cutting holes for ice fishing.

I've come across wolf, bear and bobcat.

Wolf was curious but kept his distance, black bear ran away like his arse was on fire, and the bobcat didn't give a damn; just ambled past.

Can't say I'm much worried of them.

[Dunezilla]

The only pack of wolves I have seen was when I was on summer vacation. They were chasing down a deer in the old mines in 438.

However, I had on 4 occasions meet up with lone wolves & we looked at each other & whet in different directions other than this one time after I shot a deer & gutted it.

I came back to my vehicle & there was this wolf 40 yards away on a big cut line. Well we looked at each other but the wolf had no interest in me, it was only interested in the aroma coming from the gutted deer. The wolf started into the bush towards the deer & I hopped into the jeep to go to the spot where I dragged the deer. I got the deer & the wolf got the guts.

My biggest fear while hunting was being chased by moose, yes moose, whether male or female. The bull chased me probably because he did have a mate & well he was more than likely protecting was was his.

He had me cornered (& if you knew the area you would know why I was cornered), anyhow is was 45 yards from me when we both stopped running. We just stared at each other for awhile then he moved back into the trees & I left the other way to try to seek around so that I could get back out of that area.

The next day in a different part of the place I was hunting in a female moose came from some small bush & started chasing me & I ran but she stopped & went back to that bush & I am guessing that maybe there was a calf around.

Of course those were the chasing stories, & the other moose stories were we scared each other silly stories.

[pickrel pat]

wolves are just as afraid of me as you are....... 20 years ago i was working for mcgregers doing the powerline on the chinchaga road. when everyone was out working they would be in the bush a ways watching, when coffee or lunch breaks came, work stopped and everyone jumped in a crew truck..... as soon as this happenned, the wolves would come out and sit 20 or 30 yards away from the trucks. never failed.

Here's the article about the hunter shooting a wolf in Germany.

http://www.thelocal.de/society/20120425-42151.html

The Germans and Europeans in general have no concept of how dangerous wildlife can be. I now live and work in Germany and I can tell you that over here most people believe in the HOLY WOLF. The possibility that one is not at the top of the food chain never enters into their consciousness.

On the other hand the only bear in Germany was shot because it raided a farmer's bee hive.

[Buckhunter,1]

I remember a few years ago me and my cousin where doing an archery moose hunt in 503 wandering river area and a pack of wolves where trying to push us where they wanted us , but we also had cow moose urine sprayed on us.

[buckman]

More wolf numbers in most areas that equals more encounters.

As the wolves get used to humans their fear will diminish....unless we shoot them at every opportunity.

I would like the season to be year round. I see/hear them often in the summer.

[PBHunter]

"Wild wolves are naturally aggressive but are generally cautious enough to occasionally appear timid around humans. Wolves usually try to avoid contact with people, to the point of even abandoning their kills when an approaching human is detected, but there are several reported circumstances in which wolves have been recorded to act aggressively toward humans.

Compared to other carnivorous mammals known to attack humans in general, the frequency with which wolves have been recorded to kill or prey on people is much lower, indicating that though potentially dangerous, wolves are among the least threatening for their size and predatory potential.[1]
"

Source http://www.aws.vcn.com/wolf_attacks_on_humans.html

Wolf Attacks appear to be much more common in India / other areas of Asia, interesting

[jdog0]

This is all kinda weird for me... I have ran into wolves quite often for the last two years. Once every year, i ran into their kill (it wasnt very fresh but enough to creep the **** out of me) lol... Once, i was tracking a deer. While waiting for my buddies, almost dark, i heard a sound behind me there was a wolf running around me. When he noticed that i saw hime, he took off. I loaded my gun and try to see if there were more but nope... They were just gone...

So, i think it all depends on the circumstances? There is so much food for them that i dont think they will risk it going after humans but who knows... Maybe if they think is an easy prey like a kid or something like that?

[DiabeticKripple]

A guy at work was working on a wellhead when he heard growling behind him. He looked back and saw a wolf 20yrds away. He grabbed his plunger picker as a beating stick and made his way to the shack. He looked in the bushes and saw 4 more standing there. He had to wait in the shack for half an hour before he could get out. He called into the office during this and the guys said they could hear the wolves growling and howling in the background and they were laughing their azzes off while this guy is scared chitless. We call him lil red riding hood now

And my other buddy at Rainbow Lake had a pack come in on him when he was on a battery and he climbed onto the tank and waited 3 hours before they got far enough away to make a dash for his truck on the other side of the lease.

[KegRiver]

I was born and raised in Wolf country. In my memory there was one Wolf attack on a human in the district, and that was a clear case of mistaken identity.

However, I would not dismiss a claim of a Wolf attacking a human without knowing a lot more about it then a second hand story.

I know this. For a lot of years wolves were shot on sight by many people.
They were trapped and poisoned and killed by various other means. Run over on the highways for instance.
In short, many Wolves had good reason to be afraid of humans.

I also know that Wolves are incredibly smart and fast learners. And we all know that they are cunning and aggressive hunters.

Given that, I have no doubt that a wolf that has lost it's fear of humans, might well start to think about humans as possible prey.

For a good number of recent years, many people stopped hunting, got rid of their guns or left them at home or in hiding.

I have seen wolf numbers sky rocket over the last couple of decades.

It isn't a stretch to think that some of those Wolves may have lost their fear of humans and are now looking at us as possible prey.

So although I have not read about or heard about any Wolf attacks on humans, I certainly would say it wouldn't happen.

[scrapper]

yea and i got attack by a wolf pack last year,and then again there is some idiots out their saying that wolf doesnt attack people

Hmmm you say you got attacked by a wolf pack, was that actually attacked, wolf attacks are rare but almost always fatal if its a pack. More details would be good. Wolves can be curious animals, if a pack approached me I would climb to safety as well, not sure I would call it an attack though.

[scrapper]

Apack killed a student a few years ago in points north sask ;

That incident had some extenuating circumstances, they had been feeding most of the year at the dump and had completely lost there fear of humans.

[scrapper]

they only thing that saved my life from these wolf was my 300win mag,i dont know if they knew i was a human,cause i was hunting elk and was all camo up and had some elk urine all over my clothes to take away the human smell,but they came after me

I love this comment, the part about the elk urine is classic, the guy is walking around the bush covered in elk ****, do you think that might attract the attention of wolves, wolves that feed on elk. Is it possible they were tracking you because you smelled like a cow elk...hmmm hate to be the one to burst your bubble but you were not attacked by wolves, they were just wondering what the hell you were doing. This is where the problem comes from people running around telling people they were attacked by wolves, but when the details come out, it is some guy wondering around covered in elk **** wondering why wolves are following him. Wow. Hey pal if you tie a pork chop around your neck and walk into a dog pound you are going to notice they all follow you around too....sheesh.

[scrapper]

Guys, think about what your saying and reading, these stories all have a something in common. I can walk onto any battery or well sight in Alberta and what do I find......garbage, the remains of some guys breakfast or lunch ....a food source for wolves in the area. They soon associate humans with food, these are not wolf attacks, these are wolves that associate people with food. Come on I can't be the only one to connect the dots here. They hear the guy pull up, it like the dinner bell going off, and they come running. These are just like the poster said incidents, don't confuse them with attacks....

Hey BANG, is this the same elk river road near brazeau? (Only one I can think)

If so where is sabre road? I hunt near elk river and wolf lake, hoping I don't bump into wolves in the future however next time I'm out there I might have some on the trail cam! There was a couple huge wolf prints in the mud when I put up the cam!

Yep same area sabre is past the peco a ways used to be marked .i have not been out there for awhile.
Seen many wolfs in that area over the years.
One year i had a bear camp set up.i was in my tarp enclosed solar shower when a buddy stopped by and he seen a wolf from my camp ,he grabbed my rifle and dropped it while i continued to shower.lol

I put the presto pin thru a hole in the tooth to keep the cover on and stop the point from sinking to far in soft ground.
I use the blade in summer and the tooth in winter, its better than an axe for cutting holes for ice fishing.

This is what you take for a walk in the forest?



Good grief...

We have a helicopter run at work and te operators always see packs running around on the ground.

They also spot elk for the hunters on the ground and point them in the right direction haha.
