I am glad we don’t have to contend with wolves here. You’re right. They are NOT cute puppy dogs.
Coyotes cause that problem here. They invade our dairy farms and have taken family pets. I wouldn’t put it past them to snatch a kid.
Coyotes are ‘shoot on sight’ around here.
My wife got mad when I told her we were going to kill some coyotes. She said “oh no... they are pretty... yadda yadda”
I said “they ate some of Jarmin’s baby lambs and calfs”.
She said “KILL THEM!!”
Yep, Coyotes are the same here...and some of them get fairly large.
The wolves have driven a lot of them out of the high country. So we have to deal with them more don here.
Wolves can be huinted now...but they have a season. If they are destroying property they can be killed now too...without a lot of hassle like it was for 15+ years.
IMHO, they should be shoot on site as well.
