I enjoyed reading this one and the positive ending for the deer but of course the wolves went away hungry but maybe they got food later on. Your visit to my page was uplifting. Sara

Thank you Sara, they wouldn't have gone hungry that's for sure, but I love to see their prey get away. Tom

Thank you very much Dear Heart and also for hosting, I know wolves have to eat too but like you say its natures way when they are not so lucky. Tom

Well written, Tom. I feel sorry for the deer, although even wolves have a right to eat and live! Would be fairer if it were one on one! Regards // paul

So glad the deer escaped - I love watching national geographic programmes but always hate to see a kill! Good luck in the contest Tom - I forecast a win! Hugs, Jennifer.

Thank you Jennifer, I always hope they get away, I was talking to someone at a lodge in Kenya and they said people get upset when the lions come to the water hole and make a kill but that's the sad side of nature I suppose. Tom
