Wow that had to be cool. Keep at it. Sounds like your slipping down a path of no return hunting the hunters.   :thumbsup:

Britches have been cleaned and I'm ready to go again. I think the wolves were quite surprised to not find a rabbit but rather a scrawny middle aged guy randomly throwing sticks in their direction.

Funny that the danger of the incident didn't cross my mind once as I was more trying to be the hunter than them... hope I can keep it that way. I'll at least bring the pepper spray next time..

Sounds like an awesome adventure to me, and one that very few will experience themselves. Some of my favorite memories afield have a miss or two in them. Good luck!

Well done Ryan. The emotions of the hunt are part of the stark, the wait, and the shot. Put it on 'em.

Next time Ryan, the wolf wont be so lucky.  Getting game that close that fast will challenge even the most experience archer to concentrate on a  spot!

I bet your adrenaline was pumping in high gear.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Man o man. I love the story. Hate you missed. No doubt you used this as a learning experience, so those wolves better watch out. That's the great thing about predator calling it can be fast and furious. I absolutely can not imagine being that close to that many wolves. Be safe! Thanks for sharing.

Bummer on the miss. That is a rare shot opportunity. Check the latest FUR FISH GAME for a great article on wolf calling. Hope you get another chance.

This may be one of the best wolf hunting stories in modern times.  It's pretty remarkable to say the least!

Well taking a wolf with a stickbow is on my bucket list but with a pack I'd be more inclined to think volume and go with a fast rifle.  With wolves, I believe in the stack em up technique.
