Never had any problems with wolves, never felt a threat. I travel hours and hours and miles and miles, daily (in the winter), nearly always solo. I see wolves often. I've even had an occasion on a frozen lake where I witnessed a pack disperse to "hunt" me as I skate skied on a b-dub lake [four wolves came on to ice (upwind), saw me, one went into woods on west shore, one on the east (both moving in my direction) and the two largest came directly at me on the ice. When they ascertained the strangely moving beast was human (about 60-80 yards out) they all exited via the east side of the lake. I saw them (or a couple of them) three my times on my circuit of the three connected lakes, each time they bolted away]. I do fear for my dog when he gets too far away.  I've had a dog chase a wolf across a frozen lake, gaining slowly on the wolf- me yelling "You don't want to catch that...."

Eleven is a large pack.
