My brother and I went wolf hunting on Friday evening and Saturday. Wolf hunting was great! We were in wolf central station. I called in some wolves within the first hour, but we couldn't see them (only hearing). Another hunter that was nearby heard the comotion and came our way. He scared the wolves off by missing his shot from over 400 yards away. Turns out the wolf he shot at was less than 200 yards from me.
The wolves kept us awake howling a good portion of the night and we had to put my brothers horses in the trailer about 11PM for fear the wolves would come after them. First thing in the morning we moved in on the howling wolves. We got within about 600 yards and I started howling. Within about 5 minutes we had a small one in our sights (187yards to be exact). I had a slightly obstructed shot, so I told my brother to take it. He pulled the trigger and his bullet misfired! (Pretty sure he needs to thoroughly clean his bolt.) When his gun misfired, I opted to take the shot and missed. My brother ending up killing it. I'll post pictures here as soon as he gets them sent to me. It may take him a few days, since he doesn't have very good internet at home.
