I believe the Animal Attacks on humans and the fear they are loosing is a Bible Prophecy..
The Opening of the 4th Seal.
Revelation6:7
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
About a month back, I had 2 tubs of salmon guts that I was planning on using for burbot trot line bait. Had it sitting nx to some logs along wood line, 50 yards from porch. My house dogs opened up middle of the night (they smell game right through the permachinked logs). They ran over to the wood line and when I went over with light, I heard the wolves crashing through the brush. Two nights later they came back again, then I dumped the fish into the river to get rid of it. So a week goes by and a single wolf came in walked between my house and shed and tried to get into my garbage cans. It was 3 in the morning and soon as my dogs inside opened up the wolf took off. His tracks were 5 3/4 inches long, and 4 1/2 inches wide and they were close to 4 foot between each single print. I went out my wood trail on snowmachine a couple miles and found his tracks again, headed towards the mountains out back. Once we get some more snow, I'm going to set some snares; but actually in some ways I don't start hating all the wolves until they start killing dogs. These wolves are scared of people, but awful hungry. I often hear them wolves at 4 am in morning. They have also been seeing single wolves roaming around our town last few weeks, but they take off pretty quick at the sight of people.
We also have had this years pups walk up our lane when they hear our sled dogs. Funny to walk out on porch and see a 70 lb pup that hasn't developed fear of humans yet; 15 yards from porch. My son would call that female in with rabbit squealer at bus stop in morning, ha.
I have an acog on a 6.8 and just stuck a flashlight under barrel. The crosshairs on acog are dim after dark but you can see them, I might get a shot out the window one of these nights. Also been thinking about setting up the game camera for that wolf.
Alaska has wolves all over and people are use to them. I wouldn't want them released in lower 48 everywhere just the same.
