Once again we can blame the Federal gubmint idiots for introducing wolves where they were not needed.
Affirmative action doesn't work in nature either.

Not at all surprised. At some point, and the deer aren’t stupid, they’ll all move to metro areas. The wolves aren’t stupid either....they’ll follow. Then things will get interesting as many dogs will die...and we certainly can’t have little Fluffy being eaten by a big old mean and nasty wolf.

We have the same problem in the Pacific Northwest:
The introduction of the Gray Wolf to Yellowstone Park in 1997 started a trend in the west that has brought the wolf back as one of the most hated predators. A population of 66 wolves into Yellowstone and 35 into the Salmon River Wilderness in Southern Idaho have mushroomed into an uncontrolled population. These wolves were not the native subspecies that existed prior to the introduction. Their primary recovery goal was to have 10 breeding pairs for three consecutive years distributed among the Northern Rocky Mountain Recovery Zone and remove the wolf from the endangered species list.
As of 2013, there are 1,691 Wolves made up of 320 packs and 78 breeding pairs spread throughout Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Washington. The territory of these packs directly overlaps on areas that do not have contiguous habitat, but rather are places where people, cities and towns exist. By failing to keep the population under control, we force situations where wolves attack people, livestock and pets as they roam unhindered.

I'm not generally a fan of pitbulls, but if I lived in the boonies and had a problem with wolves, I would consider getting a couple.

I never heard of Florence County but, no, it wouldn’t surprise me that timber wolves were there now.
To: trisham
Coyotes are nothing compared to a pack of timber wolves.

Watched a video of the Caucasian mountain dog fighting and killing a wolf.Forget that dog ... Timber wolves don't fight alone.
To: manc
My sister and her husband came thisclose to getting a Caucasian after their other dogs passed away. They settled instead for a German Shepherd whose bloodline guaranteed she'd get big. About 120 pounds at this point. And she ain't done sprouting yet. Sweet dog, though, but she'd outright eat you if she didn't know you when you stepped into her territory.

Irish Wolfhounds and Borzoi.
They have an inborn prejudice and are horribly “efficient”.
Search YouTube.
Not for the faint of heart.
You must have a breed with a serious pack mentality for wolves.
