Color me skeptical. This story reads like a Jack London knockoff.
Don’t go in the deep woods unarmed. Anywhere. You’re made of meat. Nice that our conservation efforts have been rewarded with increase risk to life.
Possible, though a blood trail was found. And knowing the local DNR, they’ll be doing DNA. As to the description of the “action”, could be. Attacks on humans are pretty rare, and there’s plenty of food around now. But they happen.
“Color me skeptical.”
Same here.
More than likely he shot a wolf then made up the story as a CYA because it’s probably illegal to shoot wolves.
I'll second that.
Not many wolves here in DuPage County, but plenty of coyotes. If anything like the coyotes, I find it unlikely.
I see them often in on winter evenings, when out with my dogs.
Including one that ran up about TEN FEET, from my two ferocious(?) Australian Shepherds, and I.
The dogs and I did not like this, he turned and ran off.
I asked our veterinarian about this, he said not to worry, with a little dog be concerned.
He walks his dogs in the forest preserve next to his house each evening, no problems.
