How the wolf got on that snow machine, we’ll never know.
Wonder what they were “trapping”? Wolves?
Mistake #1...riding a Ski-Doo.
“• March 8, 2010 — A 32-year-old school teacher, Candice Berner, was attacked and killed by wolves while jogging outside Chignik Lake”
Her soft tissues were ripped out and consumed while she was still alive.
Yeah it happens, not as often as Moose attacks but it happens.
Last time I was attacked by a wild animal it was a Skunk (I shot it with a Sling Shot and thought it would “Run Away”) heh I was the one running... and that little bugger was trying to get in the door of my Office while he stunk up the place. Then I remembered they are in the Weasel family, (like Wolverines and Badgers) and then I went “ahhh, maybe I shouldn’t have done that”

(I actually posted minute by minute, real time updates, while it was happening)
It's been bitterly cold -50+F and little snow for this time of year so it is pretty slim pickings food wise for the larger predators.
Common sense dictates to go armed into the untamed wilderness, common sense also dictates to go armed into the “civilized” cities as well. Heck, common sense would dictate to always be armed.
This guy was lucky, very lucky. Guardian angels working overtime kind of lucky.
A-Ooooooo
His hair was perfect.
About the only real real reason I own an AR is that I can use it against wolves, they are fast and come at you from every direction. Was almost attacked many years ago while out on a dark winter night in Alaska, all I had with me was a stainless Ruger .338 bolt action, too slow against a pack of wolves unless I have the high ground and enough ammo.
My backup is a 10mm Glock so I have 15 and one available. And I absolutely hated that movie “The Grey” made me want to build a tree stand up high, get a thermal scope on my M1A and plenty of some kind of bait.
Click through to the original article and look at the hat the guy is wearing.
I think I have an idea why a hungry wolf attacked him...
I think there may be more to this story than we're hearing, like maybe he ran his snowmachine too close to a tree and had to come up with a good story about how he ripped the shit out of his coat? Or he's looking to be the next reality TeeVee star, Mr Backwoods Wolfstalkerman?
Go into a wolf’s dinning room, expect to be dinner.
Man eating wolves and bears are a good thing. It makes sure only cool people are out in the woods, and it gives them an excuse to pack big guns.
