A game if I may...

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being complete truth), what say you?

He Lived With a pack of wolves - from Joe Rogan show 05/29

I am not knowledgeable on wolves so I don't know

Glad I was wearing my hip boots !

.0001

2 or 3. The fact that he said she came so close kind of says it could be a lie. But I don't know much about wolves.

He seemed to be making it up as he went

It took me an hour but I think I got it. You meant because you were wading through crap?

6-7

Exactly !

I think you might need chest waders just to be on the safe side.

Listening to that clip reminded me of that other goof ball a couple years back that made friends with brown bears...
What was his name again?
Didn't he get eaten?

Hey guys- many things seem one way or the other sometimes- and many seem so hard to believe to “us” specifically… You may not even believe me- heck, nobody knows me either. But- this guy is one of my very best friends and I have personally seen pictures of these stories. He is good at giving detail to the stories of his life- heck, I didn’t believe some stories, until I saw pictures of exactly what he was talking about- a ‘huh, I’ll be darned’ moment for me too. - I’ve seen many many Pictures of how close he was to the curious wolves. I have NOT listened to this podcast yet, but talked to him many times via SAT phone while he was living in a tent as a biologist on a salmon study out of Bethel when that occured. In fact, I flew to Anchorage that fall and met him to hunt bears and Caribou. Believe what you wish- but this is true!

That's good Jeff but.........when someone states that "the alpha male was sitting there howling..." That's it for me. No credibility at all.

What is an "alpha male" and how does one identify it by sight ?

That is a good question and that I do not know. I totally understand your point. Like I said, I have not listened to the podcast, but know adventures he does are real. Now, to answer your question- I have no idea- you have a point there.

Timothy Treadwell I believe was his name. He and his girl friend got eaten by some of Alaska's finest. He was crazy and deserved to be eaten. But, she wanted to leave; things were getting too scary with one bear in particular.

I have experienced red fox at close range...maybe 5 feet or so. But a lot of the critters in my area have never seen a human. However......I have never had a wolf act like that.

It is very typical to see behavior like that in places like Denali National Park. It's just my opinion, but those really can't be considered "wild" animals. They are so habituated to humans that their behavior is completely abnormal. That's why they sleep in the middle of the road and allow people to approach and take pix. Unfortunately, most of the touristas think this is normal behavior for 'wild' animals.......and that is what the Park Service is selling.

Dave Mech, the wolf biologist who coined the term "alpha wolf" has lamented that ever since. He says there is really no such thing. Better to refer to them as a breeding pair.

80 % made up as he goes. Good at telling story’s to city folk .

Nah, better make it a wet suit LOL.. Or they were domestic wolves..

I have never heard of Joe Rogan before but Donnie Vincent is legit. Do a search for his videos on youtube.

No one is questioning his videos

Sounds like he has a man crush on that anti-Farley Mowat.
As soon as I heard him drop that name there was no doubt in my mind.
Anyone who believes wolves live on mice are out to lunch.
