I have to say, unless you startled one, it’s very very rare that you would even see one. They normally stay away from people. But this guy could have been small. And if he was carrying a duck or two, a wolf in those parts could think he and his wolf buddies could take the small hunter. I would be offended myself. Its also rare that wolves would be hunting in a pack in the summer or even September. There is plenty of food everywhere. Wolves don’t normally pack until food gets more scarce and they need to go after the big stuff. I am in Wisconsin myself and trees are just now starting to change. We still have ducks and geese everywhere.
It was a bunch of wolves that, because of people being stupid, sloppy, sentimentalists think wolves are so cute and cuddly, do not fear humans and so will attack them.
