Wolves chasing a seemingly exhausted deer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- The middle of a hunt from this winter: the video starts with a seemingly exhausted, panting deer that collapses in the creek and drinks for a few minutes. The deer gets up and 5 minutes later, two wolves reach the creek.
The wolves are also panting. They drink for a little while and then continue the hunt. Ultimately, we do not know if the hunt was successful or not as we just have this brief snippet of footage.
What is interesting is that this video was taken in the center of the Listening Point Pack territory but these are not Listening Point Pack wolves, or wolves in any pack we study (there were no black wolves in any packs this winter).
We are curious as to the circumstances surrounding the video. It is possible these two wolves were from a pack on the Canadian side that chased a deer into the U.S.-a distance of about 7-8 km as the wolf runs-which is certainly possible as wolves have chased deer for over 20 km before.
It could also just be a roaming pair of wolves. Either way, this hunting sequence shows the general approach wolves use to often kill hoofed prey: i.e., they try to outrun and outlast them.
Yet, even after being chased for some time, deer can outlast wolves. Thus, when hunting, wolves are constantly assessing whether chasing after a particular deer is a good use of energy or not. Often wolves make this assessment by briefly “testing” deer-chasing them a short distance to gauge their vulnerability.
The vast majority of times such sequences end very quickly because wolves give up. Mech et al. (2015) in their book “Wolves on the hunt: the behavior of wolves hunting wild prey” summarize this well:
“When deer flee, they can speed away at 56 km/hr, about the same speed as wolves. If wolves are close enough when the deer bolts away, they try to follow. However, most often, the deer bounds away, leaving the wolves behind.
Usually the deer quickly senses that it is outrunning the wolves and then stops and watches its backtrail. If the wolves do persist, the deer bursts off again. Only rarely do wolves persist in chasing a deer for very long.
However, if they do, as in the case of a single 2.5 year old female wolf pursuing a deer for at least 20.8 km over a 2 hr-period, the deer was still able to stay ahead of the wolf”.
Given what we observed in this video, it seems that this chase had been going on for some time but we will never know how it ended.

The thumbnail is hilarious 😂 Makes it look like the wolf is some RUclips star: Catching a Deer in 24 Hours Challenge
And BS because the deer had already left when the wolf arrived.
😂
Precisely😂
That deer is exhausted, they can’t run fast for very long but wolves can lope all day. They know the end is near….
@@Olaf236Bro is not a poet
With a deer that exhausted I’m going to bet those wolves got their kill
too many wolves already. The biologist know this, but the politicians will is week.
Dang... them WOLVES were exhausted and thirsty too! Must've been MILES through rough terrain but they got their dinner for sure!
Mother Nature is BRUTAL. Not for the timid and weak!
That deer didn't make it. The oldest form of hunting ungulates. As humans we take sweating as a bad thing, yet we couldn't have made it without internal temperature regulation. This comes from a welder working today in 110 degree weather
No welders are the laziest hands there are coming from a boiler maker we don’t mind bud sweating and making you look good bolting up you and your fitters fucked up welds
@ericelverud1541 lol... that's cute. Sounds like you are speaking about pipe welders? As a fabricator, I actually might agree. No fitters necessary, prefer to design, fab, fit and weld my own work. But why so angry?
@@jmantmullbecause he’s a crusty old boiler maker. 😂
We are the ultimate long runners
I have a 243 and it’s not for that deer…
No way😱
@@jayrom14 Nope.
Smoke a pack a day please
Absolutely brother …. That pack of wolves would be losing a few pack members
@@doitforfunoutdoors2997glad the wolves are back eating hunting dogs and deer where iam again. Keeps the southerners out
would laying in the water help mask the deer's scent? and scent trail? The deer seemed to backtrack.
I think the deer was just hot, cramped, thirsty, and wanted to chill. For scent I don't think a tiny stream would help much. Maybe has wet deer smell now lol.
Maybe a full river if it swam across.
Exactly
Deer do this when they are wounded!
Going into water buys deer some time when dealing with wolves; it’s an advantage for when they’re wounded and exhausted.
The wolves had the pack spread out at first . They get the animal they hunt to run then the animal passes the waiting wolves they keep the animal running they know it can't run forever
Its interesting. Its basically doing an ice bath after a workout to recover faster
Yes, that's what the deer is intentionally doing. She heard from some friends on the other side of the valley that an ice bath does wonders 🙄
@@bleh329 animals overheating and getting into water to try to rest for a moment is a fairly common behavior. horses do it as well.
@@bloodstoppin Yeah, because it feels nice. Not because they're thinking "This will improve my recovery time".
@@bleh329 it feels nice because it is helping the animal recover. most things that feel pleasurable to an animal do so for a reason. it's also why people might do it-- jump into cool water after hard work because it feels good. same with food cravings-- you may not consciously know you need more salt in your system, but your body knows what to direct you to eat more of.
Comme les sportifs de haut niveau , après l'effort, ils prennent un bain de glace !! @@bleh329
I have never seen a deer that exhausted! Wow! They are all beautiful, but it is difficult not to want the deer to live, even though I also eat meat, and know the wolves need it too!
probably rabies
@@jebes909090nonsense
@@jebes909090 you do realize rabies makes them afraid of water right? The deer was tired from running from the wolves lol.
@@donwhite666 rabies doesnt make them afraid of water, rabies makes it so they cannot swallow
You do realize that that wolf is an invasive species! That's 180 lb Canadian grey wolf those were never native to the continental United States... You might as well turn a freaking Tasmanian tiger loose on the deer, and call it a cougar....
WOW! That was amazing! I live about an hour and a half from Voyagers and I see this quite a bit, but nothing quite like that!
Isn't that a strip club?
Wolf is like hi just having some water
Great footage.
...and you thought being a human was hard.
True.
Having a shelter is a luxury most humans in western world do not appreciate
Just do not stay in it to the point of being depressed
@@hiralykowalski6825 Kinda sucks working 40-50 hours a week to afford a shelter that I'll pretty much only use to sleep in.
@@biggestblekclockondablock And that's apply to almost anywhere in the world
Maybe you can be exception if you are from rural areas of rich country
Why are people obsessed with wolves?
This is 100% hair brained speculation but prehistoric humans figured out how to bond with wolves and form a long term symbiotic relationshiop. I think after thousands of years of evolving alongside wolves and dogs humans have become genetically ingrained with a fascination with wolves/dogs. Like I said it's a hair brained theory but best reason I can deduce.
The only thing I’d like to smoke a pack a day.
@@Shadow_banned_again : Are you from Daniel, Wyoming? Maybe hang out at the Green River bar? Buds with Cody Roberts?
The deer fall in water when they are being chased to cover their smell and pick up a fresh scent. Confusing the predator. God created all things.
Smoke a pack a day !
I once had a run away hound dog hunt me down for 10 miles while I was doing a workout on my bicycle. I was peddling fast too with the dog using its sense of smell when it couldnt see me.
deer aren’t made for running long distances, their lungs have obly a small volume hherefore they cramp and the lungs can even burst… gruesome death
Goes to show why humans were actually the best hunters. In good physical shape, unlike 99.99% of us now, humans would routinely chase animals until they succumbed to exhaustion. I get winded going from my couch to the fridge
I live and hunt in the UP of MI. From my blind I watched a doe acting strange running 30 feet past my blind. I thought a buck was chasing her. A minute later 3 wolves appeared on her trail. They stopped 30 yards away from my blind , stopped . Must have sensed my presence. One wolf followed the doe, the other two headed into the wind. A minute later the Wolf on the doe joined his friends. The doe got away. It was a one on a lifetime experience.
hey, fellow yooper. i'm from mqt.
So, how many of those wolves did you eliminate to protect your deer population.
@@frankroy9423 zero, wolves keep the herd healthy. Everytime I go hunting o see the deer tracks in the sand followed by wolf and coyote. I have seen numerous wolves in my hunting area. But, the last few years I've seen more deer. Kind of strange, more wolves, more deer imagine that.......
I'm not a fan of wolfs at all. Very bad creature. Helps the ecosystem my ass
Glad we don’t have them around! Coyotes are bad enough!
wolves are more shy of people and will leave human areas alone
@@ginidontthinkso4282 doubt that, but they are more wilderness animals
@@inthewoods3237 they actually do fear people and are shy (unless you harass them or rabid) coyotes are more ballsy but funny enough wolves will tell them to piss off from their territory. wolves might watch from distance but they generally keep distance from people
Death by a thousand knives.

If the deer was that exhausted from the wolves, they would’ve been a lot closer and she would’ve been bleeding from somewhere!
Coincidence😏
wolves kill everything.
The deer wasn’t tired it was hurt. Pause it at 43 seconds and you’ll see it’s rear right leg is wounded
It’s not hurt it’s tired. All deer have that spot on their leg. Males even pee there and rub it in to keep their scent prominent.
Interesting video. The deer appeared to have a gash on its rear leg. Nature is awesome.
I believe that is just the tarsal gland on the leg.
Smoke a pack a day
does not look good for the deer. they are not built for long distance pursuits.
Smoke a pack a day
Incredible footage!
Chasing? Strolling vaguely into the same direction would be more accurate
They obviously chased it to the point of exhaustion. Ignorant people everywhere ! Wolves suck!
@@TheREALLibertyOrDeathMales will also chase them to that point.
@@redux467it’s not a coincidence that the wolves showed up right after. It’s obvious what is going on
The deer hasn't completely escaped the wolves. The wolves can still track the scent and find it, unless the water completely masked the deer's scent, which I highly doubt it.
Sorry but editing a video and putting two videos together to make it seem like the wolves were on the deers trail is not cool the deer trots off and bad a wolf is magically in the corner and then a black wolf looks at the camera next time edit the videos better and don’t let people see the mistakes . But cool video I should show the videos I got of the wolves out here in Lassen county I
See on a daily basis there not as big but still cool to see
If I were to guess, these wolves might have been chasing the deer for miles before it took a rest in the water. Can't help but feel sorry for it.
why, would you rather the wolves starve? would you feel sorry for a starving wolf
@inspectorkemp7439, don’t sweat it, emotions are complex.
Just a trail camera with two separate clips, who knows how far apart the video of the deer was made versus the wolves, they probably weren't even in the same area at the same time.
Description says 5 minutes apart in reality
The wolves hunting tactic is to overheat the animal as it can't run and cool its self. So its a very plausible story. The wolves would be staggered out over a long distance running the deer in a relay till it collapsed. Humans do the same thing.
I thought it odd that the deer entered the scene from the opposite side of the creek from the wolves if it was being chased.
@@FREDDAGGSIt’s more likely the deer is being chased by a male who wants to mate.
The deer is hurt, look at the inside of the left leg.
Nature provides the greatest gifts ❤. Hello my friends ❤
That deer is injured bad on its leg.
No
Good chance the wolves ate that day
Everyone needs to set out a glazed ham and pee nearby help the wolves
Wolves don’t kill deer. Everyone knows that!
Cool Video cool RUclips 🐺👍🏻
Chronic wasting disease?
Smoke a pack a day. 😢😢😢😅😅😅
Amazing footage!!!! How do you get footage like this! Trail camera I guess. Wow.
My best friend is a doe a deer a female deer,,, and she has twins now about 4 months old. This is hard to watch,,,

Nosey Wolf 😅😂
Grounding, cooling off, drinking and masking its scent.
Its got to get its cortisol down 😅

CLICK BAIT!
I think animals are living in nature with struggling for their life
RIP
that deer's tail must be like a quest marker to the wolves 😅
Merica get in where you fit in or find out 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I guess that is why there are not many deer in northern MN
Wolves had a look of “dinner time soon”!
Poor deer, guess wolves gotta eat though
also overheated, when deer stress they overheat rapidly
Wow! 👍🏻👍🏻
That one got away.
Litt asfff🔥🔥
jajajajejejeje
Where is the listening point pack located? I didn’t see it listed with the rest of the packs.
Wolves always get there kill, there endurance is unmatched by any animal!! They will find they will kill, and they will wipe out every ungulate in their area!! There is a reason the old-timers got rid of these predators!!
they're trying to eat, deers breed like crazy, wolves are not very successful hunters most of the time
@@ginidontthinkso4282WRONG
@@TheREALLibertyOrDeath deers are highly overpopulated
“They wipe wipe out every ungulate it the area” yeah, that’s one of their roles in the ecosystem.
It was a lot easier for the ungulates to survive when there was a lot more land but now so many people have moved into those areas. Their land is is a lot smaller, which makes it way more difficult for them to survive! I got no problem with wolves, but you have to have conservation you have to be able to hunt them and keep there numbers in check! ask Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, how it’s going for them
Great video 🐺🦌
They need to get rid of wolfs
Wolves are a keystone species. That means that, without them, the entire ecosystem collapses. The deer multiply, then illness runs rampant in them, CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease, which is highly contagious btw) also runs rampant and kills them. The vegetation gets eaten then every other animal and even other plants will die out. This is why predators, like wolves, are necessary. They keep the ecosystem balanced and healthy.
Or are you just someone who likes to have the deer kills for yourself?
Agreed
Why do you want the ecosystem destroyed.
@@hyenaboy7504 you going to reintroduce dinosaurs to fix the ecosystem. Psychotic people are everywhere
@@Bonniethebunnyyou do realize wolves aren’t in every area deer are right? So to say without them the ecosystem is destroyed is inaccurate. Most states don’t even have wolves in them. I’m glad my state doesn’t.
On the other hand, human hunters needlessly take out the strongest, healthiest, and most robust individuals. Thereby, weakening the gene pool they prey upon.
Leading the species to extinction and causing a ripple effect toward other native biodiversity towards mass species extinction.

Not in Europe, we take young animals that are inferior to others and older animals that have passed their genes on and are near the end of their life, only in America do hunters try and take the biggest and healthiest of the species
Taking mature bucks ensures that they have had several years already to reproduce and pass on their genes. You don't know anything about hunting.
That's not really how that works at all. Hunters are only allowed so many deer in a season and there are so many deer that if left alone, they'd breed out of control anyway.
@@blobbertmcblob4888 There are no persons of authority regulating the matter.
Other animals, including domesticated canines, can smell tumors growing in a body. This is why dogs are additionally exploited by us.
Unlike for humans, the energy content of a carcass with a tumor or not is the same for vital carnivores.
@@blobbertmcblob4888I think she is referring to ancient human hunters that caused numerous mass extinctions of mega fauna.

While in my blind, I watched 3 wolves chase a doe. She escaped.
Interestingly, wolves have a surprisingly low hunting success rate despite being such famous predators.
@@andrewcrowley6331 Yep, they will actually follow feline predators around and scavenge/steal their kills
Way to many wolves around
There is a way to fix that.
Y’all still got over a million deer, chill.
Deer still outnumber them by a large margin. Shush it, there are plenty to go around for you trigger happy folk and the wolves.
even more deer
🥱
One wolf kills an average 17 to 20 deer per year . Wisconsins original goal of Wolf reintroduction was approximately 250 wolves. Your population now exceeds well over 1000 animals. That’s 17 to 20,000 deer per year minimum plus livestock ,peoples pets, etc.. They’re beautiful. They’re part of nature but they are killing machines. They need to be managed like any other game animals. Ultimately it Benefits the species. They are hardly endangered.
They are not "killing machines" they kill only what they need.
There are only estimated to be around 3000 wolves in the US, compared to **30 million** white tailed deer 1 million elk and 30,000 bison. Ergo there are literally enough deer to go around for a long, long time.
S.S.S.
@@blobbertmcblob4888They kill for sport, too. It's documented. I don't know if you're disingenuous or ignorant, but it's one or the other.
They are killing machines! And they do kill for fun! You are very uninformed. The wolves have decimated the deer herd in northern Wisconsin and now they’re moving south into areas where there hasn’t been wolves in a hundred years. I’m praying that once we elect Trump again that the wolf will be delisted and the states can regulate the population.
20,000 deer per year sounds bad until you realize there’s still over a million deer in the state despite predation pressure.
Wolves know the Deer is injured an exhausted.
They are just taking their time and will get it
Why does not have a deer savior come to save it from wolves? This deer is not want be a wolves food.
@@zongher1018 no prey wants to be a predator's food, but they need to eat too. Predators are important to every ecosystem. Wolves especially as they are a keystone species. Without predators, prey numbers explode, the ecosystem eventually gets destroyed from overgrazing, and then sickness runs rampant through the animals, like CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease). Which is honestly an even worse way for a deer to go out than being hunted down. They never survive CWD, and CWD can also persist in the environment for a long time, eventually being ingested by another deer, and the cycle repeats. And if they don't die from sickness, they'll eventually starve to death instead. Predators are a necessity to keeping an ecosystem healthy. No ifs or buts about it. They are needed.
📌Save Animals.❤❤❤❤❤
That doe basically just left the scene after getting bread to death. Buck probably had his way with her for hours
1: ew.
2: doesn’t make sense. Deer mating lasts less than 30 seconds. The far more likely scenario is the wolves had been chasing her for hours to gradually wear her down, before finally closing in for the kill once she was too weakened to keep running away.
