I have read several books where wolf rings were utilized by the native cultures, both in the Eurasia and North America where small parties of hunters or travelers, when having to camp for the night, would surround the camp with a rope circle.
I just checked on Wiki, and nothing showed up, so I’m thinking I would have to check all 200 references, because I don’t know what to put in for a key word.
Basically, the ring surrounded the camp, a fire was built in the middle and someone stood guard all night to make sure the fire didn’t go out. The wolves would not cross the rope. I don’t know how you could implement this without the fire department getting antsy, but perhaps you may know how to make a better search.
Perhaps colleges? Like AZ and NM? Europe? Russia? I’m sure it isn’t a local legend.
Alaska? Canada?
Umm..
Kinda hard to put a rope ring around 78 acres.. ;-)
Now if it were something that would convince the coywoofs to stick their neck into it and thus hang themselves it would be useful. We have plenty of space to hide the remains and fatten up the buzzards. Probably would work on the excess bambi population also.. ;-)
Probably could rig up a deadfall kind of thing but since at least one of our out-indoor felines is not the smartest rock in the quarry he’d probably off himself in it.
Local fire department would frown on a open fire. At night. Hard to convince them that you’re burning brush at midnight. ;-)
