*******Wolves don’t bother people**********

[.429&H110]

This month North Pole sunrise is 9AM sunset 4PM.
Bright light in the south sky.
Dark cold gloomy thick in the bush.
Great place for a wolf, good place to be from.
Then there are the snowbears, hungry, ate plastic
so they cannot hibernate, starving, can only barf.
1000 pounds of hungry.
I needed somewhere warm, like
"The Cremation of Sam McGee".
Robert Service is required too, the kids can recite him.
Was fun until I got old. Cold gets old.

A man had to defend himself from a pack of wolves. He killed one.
Investigation ruled as justifiable self defense.

Yep,, they CAN & will kill humans if they think they can do so.

Actually I started this thread with a link to that story but written by the local paper from that area.

Wild animals can be dangerous. Is anyone surprised?

There is zero evidence that wolves kill people as the wolves ate that evidence......

I never saw a wolf without binoculars,
but found fresh tracks everywhere.

How on earth do they get the binoculars!??

Sorry, I have a strange sense of humor even with subjects that shouldn't be humorous. I'm glad we don't have them to any extent in Maine. A hunter many years ago shot a very large coyote and took it somewhere to have something down with the huge animal. DF&G tested it and found it to be a wolf/coyote hybrid and the hunter got screwed over. Despite wolves not being in Maine I guess hunters now need to take a DNA sample, have it tested, and have the animal wait there for results before being shot.

I live in rural Maine and the biggest predator threats we have are black bear, coyote, and rabies. Attack by BB is extremely rare, coyote a bit less rare but more common in a bad winter when the snow is deep and soft and they can't run on the crust to kill deer. Rabies is far more common in the other animals. But anyway, when the wife and I go for walks I always carry a firearm. Any one of us with the ability to do so would be foolish not to. It doesn't mean we have to use it but having it means we can if need be. Over the years I've killed quite a few wild animals that never should have been near habitation. Any animal in daylight that doesn't run but acts weird, the big concern is rabies. One time I didn't put it down, I just let the game warden know where it was and he gave me quite a tongue lashing about how I should have done the deed.

I'm sure glad we don't have wolves.

FWIW, the left does get theirs... On Cape Cod the left passed an anti-trapping law that was previously used for coyote control. It didn't take long for little Fi-Fi to start being turned into coyote feces. I don't know if they ever wised up and returned things back to the way they were or not. Cape Codders have what they have and they did it to themselves. Ignorant people as to how things work and "We have better ideas and will tell you how you should live.".

Uh...about all that stuff I said in earlier posts...? Disregard. I don’t want anything to do with wolves up close and personal.

I feel the same way about killer whales when I see them from my kayak.

Wow! Very Impressive photo, Griff. If a pack of 5 or 6 wolves that size were after a person they'd very likely become dinner.

Didn't a pack take out a jogging school teacher a few years back in AK?

Have you seen ‘The Grey’ film? Man vs. nature.
That was copied from another acquaintance on another forum, who knows the hunter. Three feet high at the shoulder is 12” past my comfort zone.
Any dog large enough to require a .308 to put down is definitely out of my wheelhouse.

[farmbif]

from some things I've read in the past hunting wolves can be one of the most challenging hunts if you are a lone hunter.
I would not mind having a winter coat made from a couple of em.

[MrWolf]

Wow. I thought my guy in my avatar was big at around 150 lbs. Couldn't even imagine being stalked by a pack of them.

[Three44s]

Now you see what we are dealing with!

A crossed up wolf well beyond the capabilities of the native Yellowstone wolf.

Good bye livestock!

Good bye general hunting of deer and elk!

....... the left thinks that if you eliminate hunting, that the second amendment goes next!

They've thought that for decades. They don't understand that it's not about hunting, and the 2nd A' gives us nothing, it merely enumerates what was giving to all of mankind by YHVH.

The “left” knows just what they are up to.

The “right” understands what the left’s ploy is all about.

However, the “center” thinks we can just get along to go along, all the while we drift ever closer to the “cliff”!

“An autopsy has revealed that Candice Berner, 32, died of injuries sustained in an animal attack, officials said.
Her body was dragged off a rural road, leaving a bloody track, into the nearby bush and was surrounded by wolf tracks.“

Friend of mine with a plane was up fishing walleyes on Lake of the woods, up in the islands.

He came across a big wolf pack track. From the air it was plain as day before they got close to the island a pair of wolves would split off the pack, left and right. Staying well away from the island they would work their way into an ambush position. Then hunker down in the snow out of sight. The pack would have one set of flankers on each side that stayed out in the open. They would be a bit ahead of the rest of the pack. Anything trying to break out sideways would run into them.

The rest of the pack would go through the woods of the island. Driving any animals of any size in front of them.

They would do this until they found deer, killed, ate. And the next day they would do it again.

From the air all this was all laid out plain as day.

A good sized pack is a killing machine. Each has its job, they know what it is and how to do it.

Inevitably the big red spot on the snow would be just past the far end of the island.

I've heard it said/read that a Cougar will eat 1-2 deer per week depending on weather, cubs, etc.
A wolf pack will eat a 200 lb deer every day all winter long if they can.

Around here it is a fact that 6 wolves will eat a cow elk every night. Thats 365 elk a year gone from only 6 wolves.

Added to that is what is the pregnancy percentage of elk live calves delivered and then those that survive to adulthood?

Cattle herd calving percentages go in the toilet. The weight of the calves that survive are significantly lower.

The cattle are MUCH harder to handle!

There is no finer “hired hand” than a good well trained stock dog. We can not have them in close quarters with cattle that have been “wolfitized”! They KILL our dogs if given the right circumstances.

Mad cattle equals tough meat!

Conservation Northwest says there is a market for “wolf friendly” beef!

I did not know people paid good money for wolf scat containing beef DNA!
