This is not an early morning hunt. For safety you will not leave the village before your guide can see well enough to read the landscape for danger. Once the sun rises, it is easy to spot the "glow" of tracks from almost ½ mile. With your guide leading you will follow routes that will take you in huge loops that return you to the village. It is not uncommon to travel 80 miles a day. When fresh tracks are crossed it is "GAME ON!!" Tracking speeds are usually 25-30mph. As soon as wolves are spotted this may increase to 45mph or more. As you close in on a wolf your guide will wave you to pass him. Once you are right on top of the wolf, slam on the breaks, chamber a round, and blast away. Some shots may be as close as 10 feet. Quickly throw the rifle over your shoulder and take off after another wolf. Later you will return to recover your wolves. Usually you return to camp before dusk. Snow machines are refueled and basic maintenance is preformed before dinner. Your help is appreciated. After dinner that bed will be very welcome. |
