This is what Deric had to say
Pretty exciting last few hours at Yellowstone. This wolf started running after people, and by the time I turned around and had him in the spotting scope. I was able to get a few videos, including this one. He zeroed in on this guy. He was hiking on a trail through Lamar River Valley and did everything right.
It was pretty exciting. I got to talk to him. He’s the guy in the middle. Several Rangers came in, and he had to give a report, and they took my video. Apparently, they were going to close that area down for a while. Could’ve been worse, I know I had fun, lol, but he was freaking out. Good for him, though he was calm and didn’t freak and run!

There are few situations in life I can think of that would be more nerve-wracking than to have a wolf stalking you. Granted, better a lone wolf than an entire pack, but either way, it’s not an ideal situation to find yourself in.
Fortunately, this tourist remained calm, didn’t panic, didn’t attempt to outrun the wolf and, instead, stuck to the tools at his disposal.

All is well that ends well. It’s a great lesson in the fact you never know what you’ll encounter out in the wild.
