Surprise at bottom of Ropeclimb

[hozz1235]

In AC, partway down a long rope-climb, while resting on a ledge, a wolf appeared at the bottom of the rope.  I crouched and waited to see if he would leave, but his pattern just kept bringing him back.  I pulled out my rifle but couldn't get an angle on him.  Maneuvering a bit, I finally got a shot and took it.  Lucky - he dropped.  As I was climbing the rest of the way down, you can see his paw pattern:

Did you have meat or guts or a rabbit on you?  Only times I’ve seen wolves behave like that is when I am carrying bait.  Timberwolves will also do the same thing at the bottom of a rope climb if you’re carrying bait.
