    Some, but I wouldn't say a lot. We've seen deer walk the same path as a wolf within 30 min. I guy I know watched a pack walk within 30 yards of a bedded buck. The buck watched them, but never even got up. Deer know when they're in danger and when they're just moving through.

    I've found probably a dozen deer killed by wolves in the last 5 years.

    The pic is deceiving since it was taken through a telescope. Having said that, my dad's buddy is up fishing and he gets a little distracted looking around for wildlife :busted:

    I hope to get you a picture you'll like next Fall :tu:

    I'll check the camera this afternoon. I'm betting he walked by it. I have it set on timelapse though, so he would have have to stick around long enough to get caught in the 1 per 30sec shots.

    I was thinking same thing. Those Black wolves are one of the meanest looking things I've seen (in pics).

    I'll post up a time lapse that's in process. Takes a while to put together 3400 images :tu:

    I'm gonna fish for a bit, but I'll throw up a link tonight. Birds, fox, wolf... should be cool.
