Archery season - Called in a solo wolf with bugles. He came to 50 yards, and I was full draw behind a tree in a burned area. I peeked my head out, and he caught my movement and left.
Same week, I was messing around with calls while at my pickup, and I heard a dried bear grass stem crack. Turned to look, and two wolves were creeping in.
Called in plenty of black bears. Friend I was hunting with called in a sow griz and 2 cubs.
Rifle season - Using cow calls during opening day while I was hunting, I ran into a pack of four wolves. They were about 15 yards away when we saw each other. There was about a foot of snow, and one wolf broke from the pack, stopped broadside at 17 yards, and I shot him. They were stalking into me as I was cow calling. It was a male black wolf. Crazy thing is that I recovered the bullet from the taxidermist. He was shot with a 300wsm 180 gr. Accubond.
I was hunting solo and thankfully had put one in the chamber because when I was hiking into this area in the dark, I heard a mountain lion scream. Therefore, I was able to quickly deshoulder my weapon and execute a shot.
