What I can’t figure out ...

... is why some people pronounce “both wolves” as...

“bolth wooves”.

If there is one which has been photographed, there are likely many others. SSS if you have livestock.

The first thing that went through my mind was U-Boats. The mind is a weird sometimes.

Where I hunt, a certain pack is known to wander. In addition to my rifle, I keep a 9 on my hip with two extra magazines and a box of shells. I’m not going to end up as wolf-dinner.

"The first thing that went through my mind was U-Boats. The mind is a weird sometimes."

Not surprising...the first thing I thought of was "Man, they must have some good sized lakes up in Northern California if they've stayed this well-hidden for all of these years."

Practice hitting moving targets with the 9, and targets which are coming at you. Approach speeds will rival or exceed a tweeker with a knife, and the target is lower to the ground.

The reemergence of wolves and cougars is going to take a bite out of the hippie type nature lovers who like to wander the woods unarmed and barefoot. (Pun intended)

Oh goody. Now in addition to cougars the ranchers can worry about wolves. I’m sure they are thrilled.

Now that they’ve been located, time to eradicate them before they spread
