Probably not the first times he’s used this technique.

Talk about hunting in a park, too close to the road, hunting out of season and not legal age:razz:

[northof49]

No need for study to figure that out

[LBM]

Shows what kind of advantage a human made road can give them, espicially when the prey is away from its natural escape habitat.

wolves gotta eat somethin

wolves gotta eat somethin

Of course they do.
But it just shows that they hunt more than Moose.

But than again, Park animals aren't normal.
Most areas I spot small herds of Eve's and Lamb's are fairly high up on a mountain for the most part where wolves tend not to go very often.

What was interesting is to show how long a wolf will put on the chase (and that was nothing compared to what they will do, but more than most
preds will put the time/effort into)

In the area we hunt, we seldom hear wolves or see if sign too far from roads, and weve done a fair amount of backpacking to hunt backcountry areas inside huntable BC Parks. I have no doubt wolves have learned to use road systems to their advantage. Especially when road system parallel creeks and rivers.

Wouldnt you think the guy with the camera would have given that woof a little "nudge" with the car?

That location is just a few meters from "fairly high up".
That herd is notorious for being visible from the road on a hill just up the highway a few more yards.

Besides salt and green ditch feed, the road attracts sheep as the people tend to keep the wolves laying low.
Well, the presence of people Used to keep the wolves away, not any more.
Watch out Little Red.

What was most interesting to me was how the little ram went catatonic at the first touch of the wolf, and remained scared stiff till the end.

[northof49]

^^^ was also surprised by that. Thought for sure he would jump and go. Then thought maybe broke neck until he held his head up as getting dragged off

[barry1974w]

Domestic sheep also seem to just lay down and die once something grabs em (from what I’ve seen anyway).

Kananaskis, Alberta. That portion may not be a park. See many sheep in the Rocky Mountain 'front range' . . .
Wolf is doing what wolves do . . . .
They are truly the apex predator . . . social, smart, and relentless.

Radium even has a herd most of the time right beside the road.
Good pint about the salt and helping them stay attracted to the areas.

Think one of the people in the truck said the wolf "Snapped the neck" (or so it appeared) right at "take down".
I had to watch it a few times because I was also thinking that the lamb was spending a long time in catatonic/shock.
Hard to believe it could break the neck, but I guess it is possible.
(Very efficient if that was the case!)

The video should be posted all over Social media sights like face crap etc to show the wolf huggin type like Jazzy here what damage wolves are doing using paved or gravel roads etc.
So with the lack of Predator Control by several lame governments expect the collapse of Sheep, Moose, Caribou, Elk and Deer to continue till even the Wolf population collapses because of lack of food. Then the slow growth back by several species. We are still on the long down slide. Kill a Wolf Kill a Bear Kill a Yote Kill a Cougar.....help the ungulates.......governments certainly are not.

If you want to help the ungulates then maybe shouldn't kill them.

Here we go again

Hey hey hey I See Jazzys buddy or other ID has arrived on the scene.

To bad you cant contribute to this Hunting Site in ways like others. Its your type of thinking and management of our Wildlife that has got us to where we are today......in steep dive tailspin with no end in site.
Except the big crash n burn at the bottom when everything is gone.
Way to go LBM......your pathetic contributions to this site continue.

Do like Treadwell and make best of friends with GBears.

[Bugle M In]

Uhmmmm, this is a "Hunting" website if I recall correctly!??

I am sure assistance can be given to a link to an Anti Site if need be.

Please explain how my type of thinking and management of our wild life has got us to where we are today.
Are ungulates in trouble are there numbers down are they in a steep dive tailspin with no end in site as you say.
If as bad as you say then how is killing them helping them is there any conservation.
Mr Treadwell was killed by a grizzly and this is what you wish on some one, some pretty disturbing thinking.
Bears, wolves , cougars are nothing to be concerned about compared to some hunters and gun carriers
and there threats. Some serious MHI out there.

What a surprise.... more ignorant anti-hunting spew from lbm.
