No wonder he was worn out... carrying that wolf around was a chore.

Awesome story!

That's a great story. Your guide might be reconsidering his career choice, for a couple reasons.

I hope I haven't mischaracterized him. He has a lot of skills

What an adventure. You doing a rug or something different with the wolf?

Those pictures are gorgeous. And your guide looks like Jon Snow with that

I cannot help but feel some envy, even the rough and stressful parts.

Good on you for taking charge and being patient, empathetic & spiritual.

Sounds like a great trip and better adventure. I don't blame the young guide

Yes, without getting into the details, I may have some issues there.

Mozey

Wow, great story. Do you like your Durston tent?

Love my Durston.

I got the 2p this summer. Great tent.

Beautiful country and that wolf is a beautiful animal!

Great story!

Wait so did you have to shoot the other wolves too out of self-defense?

ColonelMustard

Sep 30, 2:12pm

Maybe a dumb question, but did you dress the wolf after shooting it?

Sep 30, 6:15pm

No. My guide also works for a taxidermist. He skinned and prepped it for a full body mount.

Mozey

Sep 30, 6:36pm

Awesome experience! The wolves were likely not coming to eat you though.

RUNBYU1

Yeah. This sounds more like the guide telling OP to pick his trophy.

I don't believe that is accurate. I just read a great book...American Wolf

Thank you. I was about to link to some of the same reports.

The show "Something Bit Me" (Disney+; check it out) has a wolf attack episode

Fact checked myself. No deaths in the mainland USA since the 1800's.

No deaths, but plenty of attacks...(link)

Plenty? That showed ZERO attacks in the mainland USA since the 1800's

Oceanographer

Mostly "encounters" or attacks on dogs. Only 1 or 2 people were actually bit.

I don't disagree. I am just saying that wolves are dangerous at times and DO
