'They scared off pretty easily and I'm sure it was just a chance encounter. They looked just as surprised as we did.'

Two local hiking enthusiasts were treated to a rare and exciting wildlife encounter this week when they came across a group of wolves trying to take down a moose on Tabor Mountain

"I shouted loudly and waved my arms and poles and the moose ran off to the right into the bush and two of the wolves stopped and ran back up the hill and the other went into the bush," Mulligan said. "I kept yelling for a long time and they disappeared up the hill, but then stopped to look back before going completely."

Whether those lucky few will grow in number in the coming months remains to be seen, but it appears Mulligan and Douglas did the right things.
