Ok, this is one crazy story so you are going to have to follow me here, but we do have pictures to back it up.  One of my clients, John, booked a trip to hunt wolf in Alberta this past February, not only did he get his wolf, he got a trip that he will never forget. In fact he said it rated up there whith his Alaskan Brown Bear Hunt.

John wrote his story below, I’m going to give you a few highlights along with pictures that were taken from the trail cam that the outfitter had put up.  John was hunting wolf over a deer carcass when he noticed something coming out of the woods, it wasn’t a wolf but a mountain lion that decided to take his wolf bait.  Well instead of watching and hoping the mountain lion doesnt’ come after him, like most of us would have.  John decides to go take his wolf bait back from the mountain lion.  I will let John and the pictures tell the rest of the story.

Oh yea, Congratulations to John on a monster of a wolf!  The outfitter said it was one of the largest ever taken in his area!

John Grounds Canada Wolf Hunt 2010

First day: at 1:00 p.m. my wolf stepped out at 300 yards. I tried to set up to shoot and was shaking so bad I had to stop and relax.

 This was a good move because then he turned and began to come towards me. He stopped at 154 yards quartered toward me and I shot and dropped him in his tracks.

 Last day:  I had been watching a lynx feeding on my deer carcass. He did this off and on all day. 2 hours before dark I saw something at 200 yards walking thru the trees. I assumed it was the lynx again due to the color. He cleared the trees and I saw it was a mountain lion. My heart was pounding out of chest. I watched him look around and approach the deer carcass. He then picked up the 80 lb carcass and started walking back the way he came. It then dawned on me I would not be able to hunt without my bait. I jumped out of the blind and took off walking toward the lion. I was 100 yards away from him when he noticed me. He looked up at me and came 10 steps toward me waving his tail back and forth. I continued to walk aggressively toward him. I was 70 yards from him then he turned and went back the way he came. So I walked to the tree line to try to get a picture and he was no where in site. I grabbed my bait and proceeded to drag it back to my bait site. I climbed back in the blind and hunted till dark.

 At dark I Walked out and met up with Greg my guide. I told him the story of my encounter and he laughed. Fifteen minutes had past he said we need to go back to the site and check out the cuddy back camera. We returned to the site and the bait was gone. We could not believe what we were seeing. We retrieved the camera and went back to the house to view the pictures. The camera showed the lion had returned to take the bait a second time. As we looked thru them we could see the way it had unfolded. We both were amazed at what we saw.

 This Wolf Hunt is an exciting hunt. I would highly recommend it.
