I've never been able to observe a wolf for more than a few seconds at a time, though I've seen many. But I know a woman who is married to a guy who works for a paper mill. While they were harvesting trees they got to watch a pack of wolves circle and kill a deer. He said it was just awesome to watch - they are so cunning and intelligent.

Another time he got out of the machine he was working on and a wolf was standing only a few feet away, snarling at him. He guesses he must have been too near her den.
