Elk and wolves in region 8

[Ride Red]

If someone sees and reports you then the CO has no alternative but to charge you under the wildlife act, it is called poaching. You are jeopardizing your hunting privileges.

When a predator continues on a direct path at you, protection of life comes into play. This doesn’t jeopardize your hunting privilege.

Absolute nonsense.
Personal and public safety trumps any aspect of wildlife regulations ....... period.
If you feel that you are in imminent danger you have all rights to protect yourself....period

I could not agree more .. just recently had a run in bow hunting in the high country for elk .. G bear and cub got within close proximity thankfully ended up going the right direction or may have seen the 45-70

Get's the heart rate up doesn't it.

I had a dog run at me out in the middle of nowhere.
At a "flashing glance" I thought it was a wolf running "straight at me".
My heart rate went up, and so did the rifle but in that moment, my mind told me something wasn't right.
None the less, something running at you out of no where is not fun.
Neither is a blue Grouse however either!

That close I'd have shot it and called it self defense...mmm it's coming right for us...

If it was a bear I for sure wouldn’t let it get that close. But the wolf was not aggressive at all. I was waiting for a snarl or growl but it did nothing to make me feel threatened. On the other hand, when it’s open for wolf on the 10th, if I see one, it’s going down.

Well played. My son and I, while sitting on a scrape line, had a cougar walk up to within 30 feet. It was coming from up wind and didn't know we were there. It walked right up to us and upon seeing us it stood for a few seconds then took off. In my many years of hunting it ranks near the top of my most privileged encounters.
