how many years in prison will he get? Murder an as yet born human = no big deal- kill a wolf in self defense? Prison
Shoot shovel and shut up in lefty states like Oregon. The three Ss
Is it required to report a self-defense kill?
Get used to it, this will be the new normal for rural inhabitants and rural activities.
“I thought it was a coyote.”
He better lawyer up AND have video proof of an imminent attack.
Why not just let it rot, or let the other wolves eat it? The bullet no doubt went clean thru it, and far beyond. Forget about it!
Are wolves that rare in this state? Why so protective?
This man had no choice, and he was being actively stalked by a pack of three wolves. He should have kept his mouth shut.
I don't have a problem with a few packs of wolves in the national parks or in the wilderness complex in central Idaho but any wolf that wanders outside of well-defined boundaries should be viewed as vermin that can be hunted and trapped without restriction.
I'm preparing a sermon and I ran across Leviticus 26:6 where God blesses His People by eliminating the dangerous beasts from their lands. If God considers removing predators as a blessing, doesn't follow that the government is cursing us by reintroducing wolves and grizzly bears?
Sure thing, as long as that line is through the wolf into the ground.
“ after the shot the other two disappeared out of sight.”
Thats your buddies for you. ;-)
These things are huge. Ran into one in my backyard several years ago. Backyard is a mountain in Montana and I was crossing an atv bridge in my creek bottom with my dog running alongside me. It was about the only time I was not armed as I had just returned from traveling and had locked all firearms up except a .38 I leave for the spousal unit when I travel. I was taking the dog out for some exercise the morning after my return at first light and didn’t bother to open the safe and gun up.
Wolf was about 30 yds away and I stopped to watch it. It was watching my dog and I intently. After about a minute the wolf ambled off. My dog was so freaked out she wouldn’t put her paws on the ground for the next week, riding behind me on the atv instead.
Have had packs circle my house in wintertime and wake me up with their howling. Also the local elk and moose populations have been decimated. I always gun up now when in the backyard but haven’t run into one since. But believe me they are huge.
