Grayling Lake wolves hunting a cow elk

[pmorandi10]

In Response to Cuvac;

I do not believe that most hunting is poaching or a lack of respect for sacred life. People have hunted for thousands of years, it is a tradition. To me nature is not only about beauty or the sacred. Anyone that spends time in nature knows it can also be a cruel and unforgiving place. The wolves are hunting in the video after all. Responsible hunting that is respectfull is part of the cycle of nature.

[pdunford1]

While I have nothing against hunting, all the comments about blowing stuff away are pointless because its a national park. That elk would never have been in anyones freezer. Any hunting would be poaching.

@pdunford1

Most of hunting IS poaching since it is done with lack of respect for the sacred Life.

Wolves are thick everywhere here in the Pac. NW. Hurry, Shoot, shovel and shut up.

[Cuvac]

@drunkenjerk

We know why your name is as it is! :)

Shoot yourself and shut up Godless fag...

[wolfgang911]

I wonder why the elk did not swim to the other side for escape...

she preferred wolves to yelling kids probably.human interference.

did she get away for the wolves in the end?

[Georectified]

@wolfgang911

The elk did swim across the lake several times. The wolves would sit back, watch and wait and when she left the lake they would walk around, pick up her trail and track her down. 10 minutes later like clockwork they would have her chased back into the lake in a downward energy spiral. The pack managed to get her a day after this video. They may have got her calf a few days before this keeping her around the area long enough to get into the energy debt.

ok thanks for that precision

i just smoked 2 wolves down in my elk hunting hole the other day lol

[pdayton01]

Wolves are not endangered corkreanj1, they were de-listed in the U.S. two days ago. Wolf managers CONSERVATIVELY estimate their numbers to be over 1,500 in Idaho/Montana/Wyoming. The original goal when they re-introduced them was 300, which was reached over 6 years ago.

[BIGSKYHAL50]

one less elk for someone to shoot and put in their freezer.....

[sozialprodukt]

wow!! how damn lucky to capture these scenes!

just seeing wild wolves is luck enough, but even filming them while there are hunting is so amazing - just wow!

[boneask]

nice picture...we saw 5 black wolves walking on the lake where we live, our community lake:)

[Musclebe]

let me guess...you're Canadian, eh?

[irocksobad09]

Ya dude they are defently canadian

[asubdawg]

damn I wish I had my 308 handy... wolves would get an ear full...

[corkreanj1]

well i'll tell you adam. the wolf population is endangered so hunting them and destroying their population isn't natural is it? Hunting deer on the other hand is natural cause their population isn't endangered. Humans should leave wolves alone and let true nature run it's course in the wild

[irocksobad09]

Wolves are not endargerd budy

[girllovesboy2]

you're Right! I love wolves and feel bad for them

[paulikin]

Super nice video.

[ChiefSniper]

Hunting is very crucial to keeping animal populations at healthy levels. Hunting for wolves however is not necessary. I love animals, nature, and hunting too!

[204Archer]

I agree with you, I bowhunt and always will, but i will never shoot a wolf. I would much rather watch, film, and take pictures and just enjoy the rarity I am seeing.

[cpsp52]

Human beings have always hunted. Of course it's natural. It's just that we figured out that if we put the animals in an enclosure and gave them food and let them breed they would be easier to hunt. That's not so natural.

[mkmurphy1982]

Not a bad video, and it's good to see you have your three old child with you, my daughter is as well3 and she loves going out with daddy she went out with me a few nights ago and bugled elk,on that note where I live there ar every few wolves mexican gray wolves to be exact I live in az but as for as deer population we have an over abundance of mountain lion more lions here per capita then anyother state and to top that we have hands down the biggest bullelk's we still hold the worldrecord

[stang46l]

We need hunters because deer in some states don't have any natural predators.

[DakotaElkSlayer]

Neat video.... Wonder what the kids would've thought if they got to see the wolves tearing apart the cow when it was still alive? Nature's cruel...much more cruel than a double-lung with a sharp broadhead.

[SnoopDicketyDawg]

Awesome

[grievousluver6116]

wolves hunting and eating elk is natural!Humans killing wolves is not.Wolves hunt to live,we hunt for sport sik is it.

[huntsman420]

Yes it is. I do hunt, and though it is legal and i have had the oppertunity to shoot a wolf, i never could. #1 how would i make use of him? #2 i just have to much respect and love for them.

[adamm406]

Human hunting and eating is as natural as wolf hunting and eating.  Please tell me how you differentiate.

[kriskarent]

What great shots, would have liked to be there with my 300 ultra mag.Wolves in some areas harrass the elk so much that reproduction is reduced to a quarter of normal. After the elk and deer are gone the wolvwes start on live stock.People cannot let their lively hood go down the drain,so the only way to effectively remove wolves is with steel jawed traps.Lets release more wolves into their native habitat,That is if you are into cruelty to animals

[RavenWrath]

What a unique and wonderful experience you had. Thank you for sharing it. Awesome video!

[joshsuth]

we should hunt the wolves and help the elk

[byzantine2794]

nope, this is natural, humans hunting isnt

[joshsuth]

its just as natural as wolves hunting elk, how do you think your anscestors ate? They hunted!! SLAP

[huntsman420]

OHYA, i forgot there was walmart 50000 years ago! silly me. MORON

[mnwolf]

Makes me want to move to Canada. LOL :) Thanks for posting.

[muskyhusky]

They know those people are there and they don't even move, wow great video.

[CanadaWild]

Excellent video! Your very lucky to see what you did. Wolves and elk can be extremely elusive in the wilds of Manitoba. Congrats! Good Times!

[Shaddiewolf]

Just goes to show you how patient wolves have to be in order to lay just one meal. I don't think people realize how hard those guys have it. Great video, the voices in the background were entertaining!

[thecooler91]

Good filming and quality, interesting to watch. Especially when the wolf is almost extincted here in Norway. Thank you=)

[chrisshwada]

Oh lucky wolves! I envy you guys in canada for having wolves everywhere in the USA they are basically nonexistant ecept yellowstone and NORTH midwest. How do you know they got it the next day?

[Georectified]

Friends followed the ravens to the kill site a day later. A week and a half later all that was left were the bones.

[byzantine2794]

you can blame hunters for that btw.

[chrisshwada]

the damn elk didnt die poor wolves might starve

[Georectified]

They got her the next day. There actually six wolves in the pack but only three hunted. Two of the others were pups of the year and then there was a large black wolf which we didn't get to see, but heard about from other people who saw the pack at different times.
