My archery season started on 5/15 at 4am. Got in the blind and heard only a few very distant gobbles. Saw a handfull of deer as the morning wore on. Then at about 8am I heard the tell tale thuds of a deer running on solid ground. I looked out my side window only to see a the backside of a deer run past my blind and into the woodline. As I shift my eyes to the right there he stood a buff colored wolf with grey and black down his back. He stood there just looking at the point where the deer entered the woods as I frantically searched my backpack for my camera but before I could get it out he turned and trotted back. Now I know I have posted pics on here before and the general consensus was coyotes which they may have been but now I know I’m sharing my deer woods with wolves. With the recent pics of newborn fawns popping up on here all I could think of is that they would barely make a snack for these beasts. This is within 15 minutes north of St.Cloud MN. I hunted this property for 1 more day and could not believe how many of these tracks I’d seen on the newly planted fields. I just pray that they go easy on my #1 obsession, chasing whitetails. Also is a pic of a pheasant lacking a tail who visited my blind another morning. btw-I put my turkey gear away before the end of season as I struggled and let them beat me this year. Jeez, they must be taking lessons from mature bucks. Just thought I’d share, Randy
