When the Alpha came back to the kill, it was like a textbook on canine behavior. The subordinate wolves were licking him, peeing themselves, grooming him, etc...

Perfect.

I hope the scene (people watching) was calm enough not to disturb the wolves too much.

Well, they were there on the carcass for around 5-6 hours, so apparently it didn't bother them too much.

How fortunate you were to have witnessed all of this. Great captures. I only wished I were there with you, but its on my "tilted" bucket list. GIANT KUDOS to you. Al


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.
