So had opportunity to hit the new acclaimed honey hole I found earlier this year , its been producing experiences every time . And today was no different , I started my hr long drive out , it was light , but the fog was own to the trees. I come over a hill an theres a 4 pt buck running fast , and a wolf in hot pursuit. I shut the truck off an wait patiently to see if any more wolves will pass by but none , so after 15 mins I decide to make my way to my new spot and its pretty thick , low fog , well lets give ut a whirl , visibility is limited an the wind picks up so I throw in the towel . I decide to head out and make my way back as there were a few spots slightly lower in elevation an had better visibility . I get out of the truck and instantly here them . Wolves howling in the fog ridden timber about 1.5 km away . I grab all my gear an find nice spot to set up , I start howling and am getting howls back . But they aren't any closer , so I pack up an move 200 yrds closer to small hill which makes a great vantage point , start howling some more and nothing , So I flip on the FoxPro and start playing some sequences , female coy hwls an some male challenge and pup distress , I keep sequencing these 3 sounds . and then leave it quiet , start again an leave it on pup distress and see movement along ways out , my first thought was coyotes coming is as all I could make out in the fog riddled cutblock was some light colors then the blacks came , a pack of wolves ,they just kept comimg from behind a slash pile, wolf after wolf , greys an blacks. I cannot believe my eyes , my adrenaline soars and they keep coming , they fan out coming in my direction from about 600 yrds . From what my mind was telling me theres ,8 and all are coming . Spread out . Having a hard time focussing on any one . I pick the closest grey one . Its there at 175 yrds and stopped looking , while all the others are coming . I have no choice but to shoot , I drop it an start trying to find another in my cross hairs but they are so spread out and moving around and away I cannot get another clean shot . I cant believe what just happened . Yep it did , I just called in a pack of wolves . This memory is etched in my mind forever , all of them coming from behind that pile in a fog laid cutblock . Was Epic .
The distance is deceiving but they came from the long slash pile couldnt see it very well,but the fog has lifted enough .
