If you have no choice, then follow the philosophy of the 3 S's. Shoot. Shovel. Shut Up.
And remember to recover your cartridge and as much of your bullet as you can from the carcass. No point in leaving behind more identifiable materials than you have to.

Guess those cattlemen need to get a Kuvasz or two to guard their herds.

They better have some very good evidence that the wolf was harrassing livestock, becaue they do have to provide proof.
In Wyoming we cannot shoot one unless it is in the act of killing. The feds have not accepted the Wyoming plan because it refers to wolves as "gasp, gasp" predators. To me it is a waste of time and a ton of money to have the states write the plan. It has to be written the way USFWS wants it written, so it would save a lot of time and money to have them write it to begin with. It is going to be to the tune of the enviros anyway.

The wolf finally stopped when one of Atcheson's hunting partners chambered a rifle, What caliber do you suppose the rifle was he chambered the rifle into? Must have been a big one! Why don't reporters learn a little something about the things they report on? Is it so hard to look things up?

All predators become bold when the air is no longer filled with the scent of their own kind's blood..
Kill a few ..gut them out.. skin them...and hang their pelts in the wind for a few days to dry...then the smell of gun powder and man...gives them respect and instills fear.
Fear..keeps them from trying to take man's property or kill man's livestock,pets,or family members..nothing else..being kind to them only inflames their blood lust.
When they have no reason to fear men then men are prey...all predators...wings,fins,four or two legged come for the easy life..

Insane! We protect killers and predator animals and kill human babies.

Wonder if it was an adult or yearling? Wolves stay away from people pretty much in alaska; unless pushed for food. Late summer, we usually see a yearling or two hanging around and they are pretty dumb. Lope down the road right in front of the truck, walk up our lane and lay down 30 yards from porch and look at our sled dogs (who would tear them apart if they could get off their chains); even when we would walk out on the porch and yell at the yearling wolf. My boy would call blk wolf pup in with rabbit squealer while waiting on school bus.
Actually, I think yearling wolves are lost and haven't joined up with a pack yet. They hang around cleaning up the snowshoes and neighbors cats; and they are quite disorientated. Usually they are small, only 60-70 lbs. Hardly ever see adult wolves and most that are snared are 90-100 lbers; dumb first winter wolves.
Can't imagine seeing an adult wolf even close to people; but its quite common to see yearling pups around people in august, sept.
Great to have wolves around, just not too many; got to set realistic numbers and practice ariel control once they get grow beyond those numbers.

We need a couple of dozen wolves right here in Fairfax County. North County has 60,000 to 70,000 deer and South County (which has a much more public spirited bunch of people) has 30,000 deer.
People get killed when these babies leap into windshields.

...the wolves are "just like domestic dogs." The same liberal policies are at work against our boys in the public school system. Any robust society needs its wolves as well as its lap dogs, probably more.

In the northern states and Canada in the last year or so, there have been, I believe, two unsuccessful wolf attacks on humans and one that was successful - they know because they opened the belly of one of the suspected animals and found clothing and remains of the victim. Wolves attack people. They did so in years past and they are in sufficient numbers and fearless enough to begin doing so again.

Shot guns work well, up close.
