Maybe that is the breed. Like I told the other person..I never got over to see the dogs, but they said that they are huge. I also thought that someone had said that the breed he has will hunt lions. I do not know the particulars.
I do know this. We moved onto a job up that way the end of feb a couple years back. The deer moved in to feed off the buds on the tops and there were 19 at our best count. When we left two weeks later, there was not one deer left. The wolves got the whole herd.
Irish Wolfhounds were bred to hunt down and kill wolves but I don’t know about lions.
I think a legal way to get rid of these wolves is to take three to five (or more) of your best wolfhounds (with the best hunting and fighting skills) on hikes into areas where the wolves are known to be. Keep a .45 or .44 pistol on you at all times and keep one wolfhound with you in case one tries to sneak up on you while the other wolfhounds are dealing with wolves. Your dogs take care of bidness and you take them home and fix them up.
When the eco-nuts find the wolves’ carcasses all over the place all they will able to tell is that another animal tore them to shreds.
All you know is that you went on a hike with your dogs, the wolves tried to attack you, your dogs protected you - end of story. Wink-Wink!
I wouldn’t mind being hired to take lots of long nature hikes with Irish Wolfhounds! And I’m sure those that would hire me wouldn’t mind it a bit either.
