There were no signs of blood on the beast. It seemed peaceful but glanced back at the calf in the corral as if pondering the wisdom of another attack.

Get the thirty aught six, Tom said through clenched teeth, never taking his eyes off the huge beast. Tad ran to the homestead and returned in seconds bearing the heavy firearm. Tom had killed dozens of elk from over two hundred yards with this weapon.

As he took aim at the wolf a mere forty feet away, he momentarily felt pity for the beast. The thunderous shot rang out. The sound of the bullet hitting flesh and bone near the shoulder was unmistakable.

The wolf recoiled but stood calmly looking at Tom. His mouth went dry. He felt a cold sweat running down his back. Ellen began to cry. Ed began to curse softly under his breath, shaking his head in disbelief. The wolf should be a silent, bleeding pile of dead flesh. Instead, it had recoiled, backed off maybe ten feet, but still seemed perfectly healthy. Tom took a deep breath and raised the weapon again, aiming for the huge chest cavity.

The bullet ripped through the animal, and a sizable chunk of flesh detached from the exit wound and lay on the grass. Still the wolf made no sound. Then, with a last unhurried look at the stunned family, the wolf turned slowly and began to trot away across the grass.

The animal was now almost a hundred yards away, trotting west across the field in the direction of a dense group of cottonwoods. Beyond the cottonwoods lay a roaring creek. Tad grabbed the Magnum and Tom hefted the thirty aught, and the family watched as they sprinted off in the same direction as the wolf.

The animal was only trotting but was covering ground quickly. Anger and fear pulsed through Tom as he pushed himself to run quicker. He was already out of breath, but they were gaining on the wolf.

They could see the animal disappearing into the belt of cottonwoods and then reappear in the open ground beyond. It stopped, momentarily shaking itself free of the moisture from the grass before heading for the creek. Tad ran silently, feeling how upset his father was but concentrating on keeping the wolf in his sight. The wolf seemed to be accelerating. It was now almost three hundred yards ahead of them and still loping easily as it reached a denser patch of Russian olive trees that bordered the creek.

As they ran, Tom noticed that the tracks of the animal were easily visible in the wet ground. Gorman was an experienced tracker and he was confident that they could track the animal even in the thick Russian olives. His sharp eyes spotted the silvery-gray blur as the animal disappeared into the tree line.

In some places it had left inch-deep impressions in the soft ground. There was no evidence of blood on or between the huge footprints. His pace had slowed because the large trees were interwoven with thorny brambles and weeds.

The tracks were still visible. As they approached the creek, they could hear the water gurgling as it cascaded merrily over the rocks. They broke cover near the bank of the creek and Tom held up his hand. Tad stopped and the two listened carefully. They heard no sound of an animal crashing through the undergrowth.

The huge paw marks periodically meandered in and out of the surrounding vegetation but consistently shadowed the direction of the creek. Tom guessed they had run about a mile. Several minutes later the two broke through into the open about forty yards from the river. They breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Tom stopped breathing. The wolf tracks were directly in front of them, as plain as day, as they headed toward the creek. About twenty-five yards from the river, the prints entered a muddy patch, and it appeared as if the two-hundred-pound animal had sunk almost two inches into the mud.

The deep paw prints continued for another five yards and then stopped. The tracks simply vanished. So did the wolf. There was no possibility that the animal had leaped the intervening sixty feet to land in the river. The tracks just stopped abruptly. The Gormans walked slowly and carefully, looking at the perfectly formed tracks in the thick mud and trying to see any change that might explain the sudden disappearance.

Around where the tracks halted, the ground appeared about as soft as the mud patch. It was as if the animal had vanished into thin air. Tom looked at his son, and he could see that the teenager was white faced and trembling, close to tears. Tom felt stunned. Tad nodded dumbly, fighting to keep his father from seeing how scared he was. They were silent as they trudged the miles back to the homestead. The family had just moved from New Mexico to get away from the busybodies and the closed community that kept prying into their lives.

They had looked in Utah because property prices were right. In this out-of-the-way place, tucked away in northeast Utah, they had found their dream property—a acre homestead that had been empty for almost seven years. The elderly previous owners had virtually abandoned it. The owners were a prosperous family who now resided in Salt Lake City, and they visited their property a couple of times a year to make sure the fence lines were intact.

They were willing to unload the property to the Gormans at a very fair price. The family knew that about a year of hard work would be required to fix it up. High ridges bound the acreage to the north, the flowing creek to the south, and extensive fencing to the west.

The homestead was hidden about a mile from the nearest road, down a dirt track that was almost concealed. In short, it was a perfect refuge for a family that yearned for privacy and a home where they could relax and put down roots. The Gormans were happy to trade a small-town life in New Mexico for a new start in a Mormon community in rural Utah. Like most of their new neighbors, the Gormans were members of the LDS church, although they could not be considered devout.

Had they made a mistake in buying this place? Thoughts tumbled through his mind, causing his gut to tighten even more. He knew something had happened today that everyone knew was physically impossible. And it had occurred in daylight and in full view. Quickly, Tom came to a decision as he stood facing his family. He was not going to second-guess their decision to move from New Mexico. Look, son, he said to Tad.

The first time they saw the ranch, its beauty took their breath away. The Gorman family drove the half-mile track into the yard near their small homestead and marveled at the sheer pastoral magnificence: acres of cottonwood trees, Russian olives, and very lush pasture bordered by a creek, and an irrigation canal bubbling near the northern limit of the property.

The family was entranced when they first explored this idyllic spot. Later, they would learn of its drawbacks. The ranch is bordered on the north by a two-hundred-foot ridge made of red rocks and the mud derived from centuries of weathering. When it rains, the mud below the ridge becomes a thick, slippery mess.

And right next to the canal, a muddy track runs the entire east-west length of the property. This too becomes a nightmare to drive on after even a slight rainfall. The Gormans were reminded many times never to drive on that track when it began to rain.

They had to haul all of their vehicles out of the canal several times before they finally learned that lesson. They had purchased it for a very fair price. It was the fall of , and many of the leaves were still on the trees.

Just beside their homestead, a large pasture that contained a lot of rocks and trees stretched for almost half a mile west. It needed a lot of work, but the spectacular view shone through the disused property that was littered with garbage. Tom realized that the coming months would be tough and much work would be needed before he could bring his herd of prize, registered cattle to graze on the ranch. When the Gormans first entered the small ranch house that was to be their home, they felt a chill.

Every door had several large, heavy-duty dead bolts on both the inside and outside. All of the windows were bolted, and at each end of the farmhouse, large metal chains attached to huge steel rings were embedded securely into the wall.
