Ran into some wolves yesterday, how much danger was I in?
Greentexting because it's probably the most convenient format to read, I dunno.
>So I live in a national park where there are a number of deer, elk, coyotes, bears and wolves. The deer and elk come directly into the town quite frequently (especially the deer, which are practically tame) but I had never seen a wolf or bear since moving here.
>Anyway yesterday I was walking on a trail about ten kilometres away from town when I decided I should turn back since it would be getting dark around 5:30 and I wanted to get home by at least six.
>As soon as I turned around a wolf walked onto the trail right in front of me, and there were two others behind it, at this point I was maybe ten feet or so away from the wolves
>I immediately skipped back a few feet when I realized these were wolves and not just a dog, before I started slowly backing up
>When I had gained a bit of distance I shouted at them as loud as I could and brandished a big stick I had found, but they really didn't seem to care at all
>Since I was walking backwards away from town the wolves were blocking the trail which would take me back, two of them were hanging back and one was walking slowly towards me the entire time
