What this lady did was crazy amazing.She is an excellent marksman and has ice in her veins or it was the luckiest day of her life. Do not expect to be able to do the same unless you are over prepared. With a wild animal coming at you, your heart will be beating faster than ever before. You will have no fine motor skills. Do not just put a pistol in a holster and think you are ready to defend yourself.
The biggest threat, by far, when out hunting, is getting shot by another hunter (dress to be visible). The second biggest threat is bear. They will often stomp or false charge, so you may have some time. Cougars are the third biggest risk. The are stealth hunters. You may know they are their when they knock you to the ground.
So: DO NOT HUNT ALONE, dress to be seen, if you carry a weapon for self defense - practice, practice, practice.

Pictures are even easier to post than an web page link (a space is included after the left bracket so it will display:

Without that space you get:

I spoke to a man at the USDA Wildlife Services in Boise on Thursday. I wasn't there for this purpose but asked him about the lady shooting the wolf with a pistol. He said that she never said that the wolf attacked. He said, she had a tag. The wolf came into her view (possibly due to her elk call). She shot the wolf.
