I came across this gray wolf in Muncho Lake Provincial Park in Northern British Columbia.
If you spend any time photographing wild wolves, they make it clear from their body language if they are relaxed with you around. This 2-3 year old wolf (based on body size and teeth condition) could have cared less that I was just a short distance away. It kept its ears forward, jaw relaxed and pace at a slow trot, paying no attention to me while scanning the clearings for any caribou or stone sheep.
The entire sighting was over within a few minutes as it disappeared into the trees, but like with any wolf encounter, it left me with an adrenalin rush that kept me going for the rest of the day.

That is awesome Owen!
Thanks Gord! I was a brief but great encounter.
Wow nice shot
A beautiful animal, and a great photo. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! Thanks for your kind words.
That does look like a contented wolf. It’s so much fun when wild animals are fine with the photographer. Great shot.
Agreed…it makes for much better photos as well!
Like the way the light is hitting the eyes, beautiful.
If only every wolf sighting had light like this!
