THE WOLF'S DEN!!!

OMG!! This is too funny.Your eyes can truly play tricks on you.  Yesterday I was relaxing after a long day at work and Mark comes bootin in on the ranger with the most exciting news that he has accidentally stumbled on a wolf den on the property.  So being a hunter, this peaks my interest immediately, however somewhat skeptical as I would think that if there were a den that close to population I would imagine that the dogs would have found it some time ago!

According to Mark, he was in the woods digging up shale to use at his trailer to build a pathway when he noticed a large hole in the ground and there was a wolf in the hole with only it's head and eyes exposed. It was watching him!!!  Of course he hightailed it outta there only to realize that he had left his shovel behind and had to run back to retrieve it.  Now I wish I had a birds-eye view of Mark running from the wolf!

He was every excited in his description of this wolf when he got back to the house. My husband, Patrick, decided that he needed to see this den with his own eyes so they headed into the woods. As they approached the site of the den Mark suggested to Patrick not to head in without a big stick for protection!


As it turns out, the large hole in the ground wasn't really that large at all.  It was simply a good size rock that had been moved exposing the hole it left behind.  As for the wolf,  are you ready?  The wolf turned out to be some foliage and his eyes turned out to be a couple of  MUSHROOMS!!

I am still laughing every time I imagine two grown men sneaking into the woods , carrying a big stick in search of the most elusive predator.  So a warning to you all from Caribou, be very careful when entering the woods alone, carry a big stick in case you run into any very scary mushrooms!!
