I had a similar experience with wolves. My parents in retirement lived on 60 acres in Northern MN. When my dad died my mother couldn't live out in the country alone, so moved back to Minneapolis. Family members would go up on some weekends, but since the 600' driveway didn't get plowed we had to snowshoe in. One lucky day i got to the yard area in front of the house as three wolves were walking past,no more than 40' away. One, I assume the male leader, stopped and looked right into my eyes that were looking at him. Just a couple of seconds, then he turned and lead them away. They apparently had gotten used to no one around so no longer avoided the house.

What a cool essay! I always love hearing coyotes when I’m out with the telescope at night. The magnificent views I’ve had of wildlife stay with me through the decades.
