Yikes! Imagine what a 10 mill would have done to the wolf though!

The wolf will be back to eat another dog. This woman goes out into the Alaska wilderness without a firearm and won’t carry one after this event. Just dumb.

Bochart said the attack rattled the surviving dogs and made her more cautious about going outdoors with pets, but she's not making any big changes, like carrying a gun on her hikes, as someone has suggested.

"I don't want it to make me fearful. Ninety-nine percent of the time you can move through the wilderness and be safe if you're respectful of large animals. It's a one-in-a-million occurrence when you meet an animal that's desperate and willing to take a chance."

"I really wouldn't want this to end with the wolf getting shot. I'd rather she just leave and live a full life somewhere else," Bochart said.

The lady needs her stupid ass kicked. She shouldn’t have outdoor
pets if she so willingly gives them up for wolf food. Carry a gun,
damn fool. The next victim of that brazen wolf might be a kid.

If a wolf killed our lab my wife would kick open the gates of hell to kill it.

I like dogs. I bet this poor dog went out fighting to the death to protect her owner.

All the right reasons to own an M1A with either a green laser illuminator (Cabelas) thats basically a long range very tight beam light, or a thermal scope (very expensive)loaded with 150gr Barnes Triple shocks in a 20 round mag.

get yourself up in a tree cache (tree stand, hunter stand etc) at least 25 feet up in something a brownie cannot pull down or a blackie cannot climb, have a 15 lb propane tank and a heater or haul some batteries in and use some heated clothing.

use bait, yeah thats where you need to be imaginative.

Read all about those feral hog hunters down south and just adapt for the environment. I have lost several of my cats over the years, some I suspect to eagles, some I suspect to a fox or wolf. I have no love for wolves here in Alaska, maybe way out on the northern range yes, but not in my neighborhood.

She loves the wolf more than she loved the dog who died for her. This is not compassion, it is cowardice.

I live in northern Idaho. I do not take my little dog out without the shotgun. Wolves DO attack during the day. The hunts here have not even scratched the surface of the wolf overpopulation problem here.

I hear it is not as bad as in the far southwest, AZ or NM? Kids have to wait in cages for the school bus.

General rule is- SSS. I hope the grizzlies keep ignoring our property. Still, I prepare for it occurring. Luckily, they are not attracted to a garden surrounded by tobacco plants. (laughing... )

Mr. Wolf needs to meet Mr. Mossburg ... she’s just too stupid to make the introduction.

"Area wildlife biologist {states:}... "Generally speaking, wolves avoid people and only go after dogs when nobody is around.""

Wolfs only avoid people in areas were experience taught them that people are armed and dangerous.

Wolfs who only encounter people stupid enough to be unarmed would NOT avoid people - but would seek them out as a food source.

Stated another way. If you go outside every day in Alaska and it’s a 99% chance of being safe, this means that every 100 days you will meet a large bear or wolf who will eye you like an after dinner mint.
