Came face to face with a mature wolverine while camping at Steamboat Lake in late September 2004 or 2005. It woke us about 3:00am by rummaging through our camp supplies. Had no idea what this animal was, but once I determined it wasn't a bear, I got up and threw a couple rocks in its direction trying to scare it off. It didn't scare, it walked directly towards me (within 7-8 feet) staring at me with red fiery eyes, finally walking away. We left for home the next day and I found identical pictures of this animal on the internet, which I'm 100% certain was a wolverine. The Indians used to think this animal was a link to the spiritual world. After that encounter, I believe it too.
