"Eventually (after about 5 minutes), these wolves joined the first, and all rested. At 4:25 p.m., one wolf started toward a third deer, which had been lying under a tree while the former chase took place. The deer was about 150 yards from where the wolves rested, and it had stood before the wolf started toward it. We could not see whether the deer or wolf bolted first, but suddenly both animals were bounding away. The wolf chased the deer about 125 yards and gave up after losing ground. The other wolves followed slowly in its trail, and all assembled and rested. The deer continued running for at least 1/4-mile." "27 February 1969. 2 miles N. of August Lake. "1059's pack of 5 was heading N.E. at 4:10 p.m. when they got to within 100 yards of 2 standing deer. The deer had been standing alertly in a shallow draw, and when at least 2 wolves got to within 100 yards, they fled. The wolves began running after them. "The deer were in snow up to their bellies and had to hesitate slightly at each bound. But they ran fast. We could only see one wolf very much [of the time]. It was also having a difficult time in the snow, and after a total run of about 250 yards (100 to the deer's original location and 150 after the deer), the wolf lay on the snow and rested about 10 minutes. The deer ran only about 200 yards more and stood alertly for the next 20 minutes at least. The wolves then went on. "27 March 1969. About 2 miles S.E. of Central Lakes, Minnesota. "At 3:00 p.m. while we were following wolf 1051 by aircraft in above location, we saw a deer running very quickly on top of the crusted snow and then stand and watch its backtrail. About 1-1/2 minutes later we saw 1051 running along the same route. We did not see when the deer fled again, but saw it running about 100 yards from the wolf and doubling back paralleling its original route. When the wolf got near the approximate doubling-back point, he lay down and rested for about 5 minutes. The deer continued fleeing for about 350 yards, stopped, and for several minutes faced its backtrail. The wolf finally continued on in his original direction, giving up the chase. "At 4:30 p.m.--1-1/2 miles S. of Central Lakes, Minnesota--Wolf 1051 had come to within 100 yards of [four-lane] Highway 53 and was hesitant to approach it. Several cars were going by in both directions. Thus the wolf headed S. parallel with the highway about 150 yards E. of it. "Suddenly two deer, which we had noticed S. of the wolf earlier, fled across the highway. The wolf soon got to the point where they crossed, hesitated about a minute and then ran across. No cars came at that time.
