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.

We have an over abundance of wolves in many areas of alaska to the point that moose are about gone. 50 years back there were bounties and govt trappers; moose pops exploded, great hunting. Then they stopped all wolf control which has been a disaster. Luckily old Murkowski has practiced some common sense and hasn't backed down from the I wanna kiss the wolves people from lower 48; like most politicals. But I bet even Murkowski himself wouldn't want old wolf gone from alaska; its part of what alaska is.

Everybody in alaska has a gun with them most of the time. Chances of old wolf getting ya, pretty slim up here and we got quite a few around. Chances of one dying from any number of causes living in society infinately higher than ending up wolf kill. Most of what lives up here trys to steer clear of people.

Guess I want realistic wolf control but also enjoy hearing wolves and want him part of the world around these parts.
