Attacks by wolf packs are far less common than bear attacks.

Obviously. I was speaking of the past as indication of the future. As wolves become more numerous, depletion of prey and habituation to people will cause them to become more brazen. The best records of wolf attacks on people are in Will Graves' "Wolves in Russia."

Yes, “Wolves in Russia” is very good. In it, you do not see wolves attacking armed people, unless they are lured into doing so. Even then, they break off the attack when a wolf or wolves are killed.

Wolves don’t seem to kill enough people, certainly not enough armed people, to be confident in attacking them.

It may have been a bit different when most people were deliberately disarmed. But, even in Europe and Russia, I do not see records of wolf attacks being successful against a person armed with firearms, and certainly not with modern firearms.

Most peasants in Russian were un armed.
