A Moose Hunter is considering himself lucky to be alive after being attacked by a rabid wolf. Rodrick Phillip, age 35 of Kongignak, was hunting on the Kuskokwim River when the predator made a surprise visit to his camp.

Certified, no BS rabid wolf attack with the victim's and his hunting companions' narration.
The MP3 downloads really quick (rather than listening via streaming - - spare their bandwidth?)

He wandered away from the fire - - without his rifle.

“He wandered away from the fire - - without his rifle.”

I am never without a solution.

Sucks to be out there without a gun.

I just listened to the full report and can attest that Fox are more likely to carry rabies. I remember Grandad dropping one that was hanging out where we played.

This Inuit fellow was lucky

Fortunate that Phillip was strong enough to fight the wolf and kept his wits.

[The Comedian]

Keep an eye on him, especially around the full moon. I'm just sayin'...

A rabid fox attacked my mom and dad's labrador before sunrise last summer. My 74 year old mom would open the sliding door to the house to let the dog get away & the fox would try to get in. She slammed it on his head once and the dog dragged it back out to protect her. My dad got home and killed it with a STICK! Poor dog had to be quarantined for 6 weeks.

A few weeks later there was another fox in their back yard eating peaches off the lower limbs of a peach tree! If I hadn't seen it myself I wouldn't have believed it.

I dont know why they are predisposed to the disease, but they seem to be.
