I just watched my donkeys push a wolf out of my pasture and back into the trees before I could get a crosshair on it................first wolf I've seen here but it was definitely a wolf, they move completely different than coyotes.......
 
And you tawt it wuzz a terkie.........
I was up at Surrey Lake the other day to check ice conditions and seems there is
a pack of wolves up there.
They are closing in...........................:runaway:

Were ya gonna ker-pow'im wid the Pengwin?
 
Yes, there is no other animal that can move like a wolf moves. I too, have missed getting a shot because I couldn't positively identify it as a wolf, at considerable distance, and not a big dog, until it went from zero to over drive in the blur of an eye!
In this case there were five others just out of sight, but only wolves can leave so fast that you can't even get in a dammit shot.
 
This is the third time I've watched the donkeys move a predator out of their pasture, the other two were coyotes. Same routine, they walk right at the animal with their shoulders (well in this case their bellies) touching and their heads down. This wolf just went into that swinging trot so unique to the wolf, and so unlike any coyote. By the time I got my 243 into action he was gone..........Wasn't all that big but definitely taller and longer legged than any coyote, hard to see him/her as the coloration matched the yellowy-grey of the grass up on the hillside, but the movement was unmistakable.

Single wolves are far more common that most people think, in fact I have seen a dozen or more single wolves in my life and only once have I seen a pack, as in family group.

I have seen many wolves in singles and pairs... but for the most part there is a pack nearby... many of the singles and pairs joined back up with a pack... on occasion I have observed this take place, more often I have "heard" it take place. A couple of our Northern units are lousy with wolves, it makes bowhunting moose by calling difficult.

Keep that .243 handy and git him next time.
 
Jeez, then come down south for a spell if you only get to see one at a time in the Great White North. The Meditation Lake / Whiteshell pack runs from 19 to 25. They're getting bolder & bolder now that they've et all the deer. Coming into the yard in broad daylight after the dogs or the bread left out on the rocks for the whiskey-jacks. Course, not when there's something for protection near to hand.

they have not killed a coyote yet I hear its pretty common for them to protect their areas
 
The old man got another wolf last Saturday. It was in with the cows/calves. Lone male.

They're probably going a little hungry now with the snow fading away, harder to run game down, just waiting for the calves/fawns to drop.

I haven't come across any dead ones in the pasture, they move off pretty quick when the donkeys start walking towards them. If I were them I'd keep moving away too.

haha. my buddy has a donkey. He is a pretty funny animal eh. They will let you know when they are sick of you hanging around. An even funnier animal (IMO) is a Ram, like a donkey only smaller and full of evil ha

Yep I see lone wolves from the air all the time, one's been living on his own for three years now, see him periodically cruising the same river at a trot.

Grizzly bears love donkeys. especially the miniature kind, the local fish cops tell me. :)

Grizz
 
Well I've been viciously chased by "attack geese" (the pricks!) so I see no reason why a donkey cant put flight to a wolf!
