My daughter and SIL live in Idaho. But they don’t farm. She takes really long walks in the woods with her dogs and they’ve seen wolf tracks and bear tracks. The dogs will scare off wolves—they are almost as large and seriously protective—but having bears in the area is really serious. And cougars.
Is it possible to relocate wolves to non-farming areas? Or for farmers to have large dogs that would chase them away?
In Mendocino, where I vacationed for several months, neighbors would call everyone if they saw a cougar or fresh cougar tracks. We’d keep our small animals inside so there was nothing cougars could eat and they moved on.
These Imported Canadian (not native) Huge wolves often run in packs of twenty + wolves.
Big dogs may scare off one wolf, but if she runs into a pack, the dogs and her will be lunch.
Shoot wolves when you see them and shut up. Best to gut shoot them so that they run off to a remote spot and die.
Wolves are far more dangerous than bears. Don’t underestimate them. They’ll even kill the biggest dogs. Spike collars work well, but shoot them on sight.
Yes, beneath the roots of the crops is a great place for wolves.
