"“In fractions of a second, I stepped back and shouldered my Tika .270 WSM firing once at an estimated 15 feet; distance to the wolf. I do not even recall even aquiring (sic) the wolf in my scope prior to firing,” he stated."

"RP WAS HUNTING WITH SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHEN HE SAW A WOLF SKIRTING ALONG THE BRUSH HEADED IN THE SAME DIRECTION HE WAS GOING. HE YELLED AND SHOT INTO THE AIR AND THE WOLF LEFT. HE THEN SAW THREE ADDITIONAL WOLVES ABOUT 25 YARDS AHEAD OF HIM, AND THEY RAN IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE FIRST WOLF. RP THEN HEARD A NOISE IN THE BRUSH, YELLED TO SEE IF IT WAS HIS HUNTING PARTNER AND GOT NO RESPONSE. A BLACK WOLF THEN APPEARED WITHIN 15-20 YARDS OF HIM AND APPROACHED HIM. RP SHOT AT THE WOLF, BELIEVES HE HIT IT, AND THE WOLF RAN OFF. FISH AND WILDLIFE OFFICERS RESPONDED AND INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THE RP TO BE WITHIN HIS LAWFUL RIGHTS."
