Wolf Pack Surrounds Visitors Driving in Yellowstone National Park
OutdoorHub ^ | 01.07.20

The first thing you will realize when visiting Yellowstone National Park – aside from the astonishing beauty of nature and wildlife – is that you have entered an area that isn’t totally ruled by humans. A pair of visitors at the park recently recorded a video that proves this point, and it might make you feel a little uneasy..

As NBC Montana reports, Brandon Beshears captured and shared video of a wolf pack surrounding his truck while he was driving through the park one evening.

Check out the video from NBC Montana’s Facebook below (VOLUME UP TO HEAR THE PACK SOUND-OFF!):

A little creepy, right?

Notice the remainder of the pack in his rear view mirror? Yeah, talk a bad time to get out of your vehicle and mess with nature. We’ve seen it before though..

A lot of people have an infatuation with black wolves because of their exceptionally striking appearance, and you can’t blame them. If you’re like me, you never get tired learning about this incredible K-9’s!

Honest to Paws has an interesting article about the mysterious black wolves of Yellowstone, which details the history of these majestic looking animals.

My Border collie Sheltie mix looked up when I played the video. Call of the wild. Heh.

Because of where we live I am on lists and have read stories like this, a new one every week. Hunters are often surrounded by a pack an hour or two north of us.

Several years ago, I read an article at Expedition Portal about 3 men in 2 trucks that drove the Alaskan Highway in the winter and then further north to an Inuit village in the NW Territories on the shore of the Arctic Ocean. The trucks were rigged for serious overlanding and nights were in rooftop tents in subzero temperatures.

In one section of the Alaskan Highway, they were the last vehicles on the highway before the road was barricaded because of a winter storm. After sleeping overnight in the tents on he side of the road, a Canadian ranger drove up and it turned out he had come out to check on them because of the weather.

The ranger had a rifle doing over his shoulder and told them to look at the ridgeline that was above them. There were several wolves on the ridge and the ranger said if you can see the wolves they have been stalking them for some time. The guys had been in quite a bit of danger when the ranger drove up.

They would have looked at the people on foot and wondered if they were as weak as they looked and if they were good to eat.

You are an animal too, and a dull one at that.

You should apply for a job with the Park Service, where your leftist tendencies and dullard capacities would serve you well.

You wouldn’t have to adapt at all.

Back in about 1995 I was doing work in Idaho. They had just introduced 4 wolves. They ended up bringing in perhaps 20 from Canada over the next few years.

I think the wolf population is around 500 or so now.

They now have opened it up to hunting to try to keep the wolf population down.

Some folks want to reintroduce Grizzlies to NW Washington. (The state that is. I wonder how that would go over to bring them to Washington D.C.?)

An aside. They first wanted to name the state “Columbia”. But they figured it would get confused with “The District of Coumbia.” So they named it Washington instead.

Only the government could take an iconic, free, powerful being and turn it into a lazy leach and a beggar.

The video has two dogs - the larger light colored dog in front and the smaller black dog.

The larger light colored dog almost seemed to bark a bit of an alarm, but also seemed to show a “Hey - they are pretty much like me they don’t seem like a threat maybe we can be friends” attitude. (Showing it’s body, not making a stand, etc.)

How many humans and politicians fall into that trap?

Interesting comment from the guy who shot the video:

Brandon Beshears • 7 hours ago

Hey Outdoorhub. Since you didn’t respond to my email I guess I’m forced to use your comment section. You have stolen my footage and completely fabricated a story to go along with it. Take it down or you’ll be talking to counsel. Have a nice day.

Interesting. In the video, some of the steel targets are a bit slow to go down. So maybe not a lethal hit, but would definitely get the bad guys attention.

So man have forgotten why such predators were reduced in the first place.

Due in part to the relentless lies of the environmentalists that wolves have never attacked humans.

Wow! You are lucky you got no closer and had a 20 yard head start. They don’t mean to be mean, they are just stupid and can see almost anything as a potential threat as pointed out in the post previous to yours.

Technically, wolves invented the ACC.
