Wolves are not hard to kill with nearly any firearm. The difficulty with killing wolves, once they have learned to fear humans, is to see them close enough to shoot them.

Wolves multiply to fill up the available habitat. The female wolf was driven from the shrinking habitat on Isle Royale. Wolves in the lower 48 are rapidly filling up available habitat and destroying game populations in the process. People who have to live with wolves soon realize they are bad neighbors. The reintroduction of wolves in the lower 48 will be recorded as one of the worst game management debacles in the history of game management.

I don’t think a .22 is considered a “pellet”

[PeterPrinciple]

The key to defense is the willingness to shoot the wolf. Any wolf that is not afraid of people should be killed. This is how the wolves learn to respect people, and to avoid them. When a member of a pack is killed, the rest of the pack learns from the event. Even if none are near the event, they will find the remains and associate the scent of humans with the death of the wolf.

What the hell is going on up in that crazy state? The Minnies and the Sammies have become one big fraud organization. Time to lock Tiny Timmy the Swanlaker up. The boy is nuttier than Kmalalala Harris.

They need to ban AR .177’s.

I knew someone that had a medium sized alligator on their lakefront beach. To get it to leave they shot the alligator with a .22 pellet rifle. I think the shot hit it in the neck and killed the alligator instead of just stinging it.

I had some deer in my garden (someone left the gate open) and grabbed the closest rifle which turned out to be my pellet rifle. I wanted to shoot a deer (feeding on my beet tops) in the hind qtr. At the last second it turned and the pellet hit the deer in the soft groin, and paralyzed the deer. It could not walk on it’s hind legs. Not my intention at all, I just wanted to tap it’s butt, and make it run away. I had to get my .22 Remington with a long rifle shell and put one in it’s head. Did get some very nice backstraps and some other cuts though.

I’ve got a pellet gun that can do that. Single shot though.
