Went to take Zuri for a walk. I could see it was just beginning to sprinkle rain, the moment we walked out the door she knew something was up, and so did I by her attention to only get hot on the trail to a predator! I ran inside to turn on all the outside lights. There wasn't anytime to run up stairs for my M4, but I did have a shotgun downstairs loaded with bird shot, 2 rounds, no. 6 and 8, but din't think I'd need it?
Zuri was weaving between the landscape bushes and then ran around the front of the cabin. She was pretty worked up and not a happy camper, I thought something had to have just been here? We walked towards the front of the main house under the bright lights and Zuri headed out down the driveway, I knew to call her back in as I was only wearing slippers. We walked back towards the front door and once again she got hot on the trail only this time on the other side of the landscaping bushes when all of a sudden I saw what at first I thought was a deer running in and then I saw that's a Wolf!
Mind you this is from a distance of less then 20 feet when I saw this thing come out from the darkness from around the back of the cabin right to me! I'm just glad I was in the front of the line and Zuri behind me somewhere? The moment my brain registered this is a Wolf running in I shouted out at it! I could hear the fear in my voice as it stopped no less then 8 feet away! We looked at each other for a few milliseconds as I put my arms out I crouched and yelled like the Hulk and ran right at it! It took off within the first few leaps I took at it...... only to fall as I tripped over the plywood platform I set my chronograph on, stubbing my big toe! No kidding, but I got back up to run at it again but stopped 20 feet from were I started. Then Zuri ran at me from the direction the Wolf had run to, I almost thought it was another Wolf!
We went inside and I ran up stairs for the M4. The SureFire mounted to the front is LED and on mode two can light up a football field, but I didn't see this lovely furry creature as I walked around looking for it.
So sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted, I'm just thankful it didn't get my Dog. I'll let you in on a secret, my Dogs AKC names are their first name and Dances with Wolves, and now you know why!
