Wolf pack takes down 6 pt buck

[Chaitika]

I shot these pics last week just west of Banff, Canada. I came on the wolves running along the fenceline, found a spot to turn around and they were joining four wolves on the deer. Three more joined them. These are the first 30+ pics I've pulled out of the mem card. I shot 300 all together over a four hour period and I expect about 100 to be worth keeping. I was shooting with 420mm of lens and what you see in these pics is what I was seeing. I will bump up the thread each time I add pics to the slideshow.

That is freakin awesome. Lucky catch on your part.
I might have been a little nervous around them in feeding mode. Animals get real protective of their food when they put in the work to kill it.

It just comes instinctive to them. When I throw a deer leg to my pet wolf (that I raised from a pup) I am the only one that can go near him. He just changes instantly. he goes from cuddling on the couch all day and playing to growling at anyone that goes near his food in a second.
