Today was not our typical day in Yellowstone, it was even better. We did not see any bears on our first day :( What we did see was flat out amazing. We happened upon an elk standing in the middle of a small lake, in addition to the people watching so were three wolves. We watched as the wolves plotted and stalked, waiting for the elk to drop her guard. Then the black wolf circled around the lake right in front of us and charged. Once he had her on the run the two gray wolves came from behind. It only lasted about two minutes, it was sad and yet exciting. It is rare to see wolves this close and even more rare to watch them hunt and kill. Here are some pics, they are from about 100 yards away so they aren't the best but better than any wolf shots I have ever shot before.

Wow! That's amazing! How lucky you were to be able to see that! I would love to see a wild wolf one of these days.
