Welcome aboard! :) Saw some wolves this once out Point Mills. Sitting in a tree, minding my own business, when I notice movement off to the north. Three...dogs?...coyotes?...yeesh! those are wolves! Spread out about 15 yards 15 meters apart heading west to east through the hardwoods, October of the year, I watched them disappear. While pondering their presence, I notice them again, this time headed east to west. Looked to be hunting...so...I take an 8-pt. shed I had with me and began to rattle and bang the antlers together. Most scientific. Rattled them for a good long time, longer than I normally would...and I figured I'd likely not see any deer pass by my tree. I was archery hunting whitetail deer. Anyway, after about five or fifteen minutes I hear something approaching through the leaves to my back, an oblique angle over my left shoulder. You can get away with a certain amount of motion but all wildlife have sensors that tell them when you are near...so I peek over my shoulder and there was a wolf 40-yards/meters away, the...brownish colored one...the other two were kinda silver/black...she/he was keyed right in to my direction but looking at ground level. Then, she/he looked up, spotted me, and turned and fled. Never saw the other two but they must have been close. This other time I had one approach to within ten yards/meters of my back and she/he took off like a wolf when I stood. Whud you think of Dreamcatcher?

Unless they are in a pack and absolutely starving, I do not think wolves normally attack humans. I had a few Arctic wolves running behind me when I was running up at CFS Alert (around the Station) but was unaware of it. One of the guys from Chimo House (construction engineering) drove down the road to warn me but I was blissfully unaware of their presence.

That was 1992 when I was an avid runner. We cross country skied up there too - great place to get fit!
