Hi!
Sorry for the long text and my (not so good) english=85
I hope that you will read it though. :)
I was out photographing/recording.
It was late, but the full moon helped lighting up my surroundings.
I had the recorder in rec/pause and my headphones on, so all sounds around =
me was amplified like I usually have. Since I was trying to photograph anim=
als I had my camouflage clothes on. I rarely use a hide.
Suddenly I heard that the ducks, lapwings and other birds to the left of me=
flew up in the air worried about something. I looked in that direction wit=
h my binocular and then I saw two wolves coming in my direction. They were =
about 200m from me. The female (smaller) was about 50m ahead of the male. S=
he stopped when she was about 40m from me a little to the left. She probabl=
y "sensed" that I was there... She sat down and looked around.
The male wolf came straight at me since he was to the right of the female f=
rom my view. He stopped at about 30m from me. He stared at me or in my dire=
ction for 5 minutes... I was leaning to the left in a not so comfort positi=
on so I said to myself, please go now... my back hurts, but he didn't. Inst=
ead, he lay down in the grass... and he continued starring at me (or my not=
camouflaged mic). I was completely still and after a few minutes he starte=
d to look around instead. The female passed him and lay down further away t=
o the right of me. After 10-15 minutes he joined her. They changed position=
s a few times and seemed to be in no hurry.
Then the female started to target a red deer bull. She crawled on her stoma=
ch closer and closer. The male followed about 30m behind her. She got clos=
er and closer and when she had about 50m left to the red deer she got in to=
full attack. The male wolf followed and they both attacked the red deer bu=
ll. The deer defended himself really well with his big horns. He attacked t=
he wolves so they had to back off a few times. The wolves continued their a=
ttack from two directions for a while, but then they gave up and lay down i=
n the grass. After a while they tried again, but the deer still defended hi=
mself really well. He didn't make the mistake to try and run. They gave up =
again and the walked away to the edge of the field and lay down just inside=
the forrest. After about 20 minutes I heard a familiar sound. Wild boar h=
eard was incoming...
Here my posted recording at soundcloud starts, since there was just breathi=
ng sounds and sounds when wolves and deer move in the grass previously, so =
not much to listen to.
