More wolf attacks in the north west.

(AP) KALISPELL - A man hunting black bear shot and killed a wolf near Olney, northwest of Whitefish.

Zachary Harms of Kalispell was driving his truck up a forest road Tuesday when he saw movement. He walked along the road with his rifle, thinking he may have seen a black bear. Two wolves then ran out from the side of the road. One ran across the road and up the hillside. The other ran down the road towards Harms. The wolf closed to approximately 10 feet and Harms fired, hitting the female wolf in the front of the head.

The hunter contacted the sheriff’s office later that day and reported he had killed a wolf. Two state game wardens investigated, and determined the shooting was in self-defense and was allowed under state law.

Caption, Anyone?

Jonas and I went out to setup his trail camera. Turkey and Bear both open up in a couple weeks. The snow is still pretty bad, so we didn’t get out there. But I did get a couple pics of some whitetails.

About a week ago, Jonas took himself a nice 9 point whitetail. He was watching a power line clearing one day after work, and out he stepped.

I helped him gut it and bring it home. Unfortunately I didn’t have my Nikon D50, so I wasn’t able to get any good photos.

Ryan and I sat out in the Wolf Lodge tree stand this morning. We got out there at dark 30, sat and watched. It’s late in the season, so we’d both be happy with a doe fawn at this point.

About an hour into it, a big doe steps out good and broadside. She was about 60 yards away when I stopped her, and told Ryan to take the shot. It cleared her back by an inch or so. She ran off, and sounded the alarm. Ryan didn’t calculate the rise in the bullet at that distance, plus the rise in the bullet from shooting down.

I wish I had my digital camera rolling. It woulda been good to ruffle his feathers. Anyways, I’m so “fortunate” that I get to miss a week of hunting season to spend it down in San Diego, Mexifornia. Too bad there wasn’t a season for border jumpers. Maybe there will be if Ron Paul gets elected. So I’ll be down there from this Saturday till the next. We’ll see what happens.
