Close Call With A Wolf

[Coldtrack]

Headed out early this morning and we got a jump fairly quick. Had been running maybe a hour and already had gotten 7 clips of the hare. Dogs were going to cross the road to the west of me when I looked way down the road I seen something large and black about 350 yards or more standing in the road, at first I thought bear, maybe a humane which would be strange this early in the morning and coming from that direction. I zoomed way in on my camera and new rite away it was a wolf, as soon as I got focused on him here he came at a trot, head perked up. Instantly I numbed up and started screaming for dogs and pushing buttons, the wolf slammed on the brakes and dove into the woods on the North side. Got everyone caught up and came home. Thinking back I had everything under control, dogs on the line pretty much at my feet, wished I would have been calm enough to push the record button and got a clip of it running towards the dogs. Anyhow, here is the clips I got this morning.

Whats more fun than listening to the dogs.......fox or rabbit hunting or coon hunting too.  Wolf drawn by all the noise.  You did the right thing as soon as you knew it was in the area. Not a "close call" but lets call it an outdoor adventure.

Hounds are a blat!!

Glad to hear all is well and you dogs are safe.  Close call would be Determined by the original person posting.
