    Take a read of this. It's an paper by Valerius Geist on the myth of the friendly wolf in North America. You were being pushed to see if they could get you moving and provide them a quick bite . Geist is a retired wildlife professor from Alberta. Good read on wolves and what makes them tick.

    Glad to hear you're not wolf poop! Stories like this make me feel better about the minor weight penalty of more ammo!!
    The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.

    No I do not think they were hunting you but more of a curiosity issue. I have had them doing this on more than one occasion. What was the one you shot, young, old, male, female.
    How did the rest of your hunt go did you find a ram.

    I don't think it was curiosity that killed the wolf. I'd say it was your bullet.

    Might have saved your hide.
    Pretend hunter.

    Read the link above in post #11 and you may gain a alternate understanding of the behaviors they were showing.....well worth the read...

    No sheep, looked at lots, 3 were very close. The last morning we were waiting on a ridge when they stood up out of their beds at 30 yards. The largest looked really close, but just couldn't get an accurate count, and it wouldn't turn so we could check for full curl. We watched them walk off single file. Amazing trip.

    Nice work!!
    I had a very similar experience once, I dont talk of it, because I doubt people would believe me. Taking out the Alfa male, can make a pack go crazy. In my situation, there's no doubt in my mind, that they were hunting me.

    Glad it all ended well.

    Cheers!!
