Wolves in Ancaster

by Dan
(Ancaster, Ontario, Canada)

APRIL 09 2011 - I was on a hike with my family off the trails on Old Mohawk Road in Ancaster.

My daughters and I saw 2 large bushy animals that we thought looked like Wolves, walking in the forest slowly one behind each other.

I got scared because they definately did not look like Coyotes, so I picked up a stick and started making lots of noise, but they just kept walking slowly through the forest.

Has anyone ever seen Wolves in Ancaster before?

Perhaps if any of our readers has seen or heard of Wolves being sighted in or around Ancaster, they could write and tell us about it.

Thanks for your report - I'm sure that was an exciting moment for you and your children!

Cootes Paradise Wolf
by: James W

Hey, a few years ago I was hiking in the woods around Coote's Paradise in Dundas, Ontario, with my wife and a friend.

My friend noticed what looked like a Wolf standing in front of a line of pine trees across a small field (about 250 feet away).

We stopped and watched it for about five minutes ..... it just stared back at us the entire time. We then just carried on along the trail.

I have seen Coyotes and many pictures of Coyotes and this didn't look like them, as there are lots of Coyotes in this area.

The 1st photo at the top of your page.... about Wolves, looked almost exactly like what we saw.

The exact location was about a 5 minute walk into the trails at the RBG's North Shore Trails in Dundas, off of York Rd. Also, this area has a very large population of deer.

Canterbury Hills
by: Sean

I’ve spent countless nights out in the conservation area in Ancaster and have seen / heard TONS of coyotes. Some definitely look bigger than German Shepherds.

I track Wolves in Algonquin Park usually 3 - 4 times a year, and know the difference between the two.

One night around 1:00 am, I was sitting on a hillside when a pack of 5 - 8 Coyotes started yipping and howling at the bottom of the hill, then another pack started howling back behind me on the hill.

This went on for a few minutes until I heard a looong, low mournful howl which came from what sounded like the middle of the hill.

Both packs instantly stopped howling.

I’ve heard this only one time since, and to me it was the exact sound I hear time and time again in Algonquin.

Despite the story, I’m still not convinced there are wolves in the area, however I’ve talked to many farmers who claim they’ve seen them.

Wolf sighting on Sulphur Springs Road in Ancaster
by: Mark

I was driving home from work down Sulphur Springs Road when what I believe was a large Grey Wolf ran across the road at full gait.

I slowed down and watched it continue through the forest.

Given how fast he was running and that he didn't even notice me I can only speculate that he was chasing a Deer (quite a few live in this area).

I'm quite sure it was a Wolf because it was about twice the size of my German Shepherd and it was only about 30 yards in front of me when it ran out.

What beautiful animal!
