Thank you for raising our awareness.
I hope the enviroloonies in Pennsylvania never get the wacky idea to introduce Canadian wolves here.
The farmers here would shoot them on sight.
(Not the loonies--the wolves).
I've seen a lot of threads posted about wolves, I think people are aware that wolves have been reintroduced. This article just has no clue where this incident took place if you don't know where "Dent bridge" "Baldy Road" are.
The guy had hunting hounds loose in the back country who are quite often at risk of tangling with the wrong prey. It's a sport for the rugged, it ain't golf. If not a wolf, many hounds are hurt or lost when they tangle with cougar, coyote, moose, elk or a bear. Many hounds take off after something and are never seen again if they get out of range of their radio collars. Had a hungry tired hound show up at my campsite once, whose owner had given up looking and gone home. Lucky for him he got a phone call.
But this article doesn't describe the problem many on here fear, of suburban wolves preying on pets in a back yard, or stock on a farm. This guy was hunting, and he lost the hunt.
