3 weeks ago I was in the Northwest Russian wilderness, those wolfs don’t mess around. The first night we were at the cabin we kept hearing them rustling up the snow all around. If it wasn’t for our well armed contingent with Saiga 12’s and AK’s it would have been Pipietz!
The next morning we say tracks in 4 ft deep snow as wide as our fattest member. Fired a few shots the next night but they only went away for a bit, the smell of shashlik and smoked fish was just too much for them. I hear they have an even more wild time during the summer with all of the brown bears around. There are plenty of horror stories with wolfs and bears.
