Last time I looked, wolves hunt in packs.

Had such a pack pull a black bear out of a tree and eat him a few years ago, just 5 miles outside of town.

Better get more than two of those sheep dogs.

The first two will just be appetizers.

A 30-30 makes the ONLY sound that really gets rid of them.

Then get yourself a pack of Anatolians. We're talking about dogs with thousands of years of breeding to take care of herds of whatever (including man) that haven't been screwed up by American breeders YET.

I know the Anatolians are protecting livestock from cayotes so a few more ought to be able to take care of a pack of wolves. You might lose a few of your dogs, but you won't be losing any of your horses or children.
