I had the opportunity in May, 2011, to photograph an event between an elk and a wolf that is rarely seen by man. The hungry wolf stalked this elk and chased her to a creek three times before giving up and leaving to find an easier meal. The wolf did get a couple of hind quarter "chomps" but was finally convinced to go away when the elk landed a left hoof to the wolf's head.
