If you want to jog like you're jogging in the lower 48, fine, but if something happens don't scream that we need to make Alaska like the lower 48.
We can't let our dogs run loose in the winter or the wolves get them pretty quick; put them in 15x15 pen when they want outside.
Wolves come and go, usually around a week or two then move on, travel big circles that take month or two to come back around. You usually know when they are around. Sad, but that girl had just came to Ak and probably didn't even know much about wolves which is common sense here.
WE have had young yearlings walk up our lane, don't even know to fear people yet. My kids have called them in while at bus stop with mouth squealers. Wife was seeing single female every morning at end of our lane (wife is a teacher and she rides school bus to school when its minus 45). I went down a couple days with AR but wolf wasn't walking the road when I was there. The wolf ended up grabbing my neighbors dog and he ran out in his driveway with shotgun, sprayed blood all over the snow.
I actually like having wolves around just keep numbers within check. Best way is to have trapping incentives or ariel control with helos. Even then they only get the dumb ones and only as long as there's new snow to see new tracks. Them wolves get in the brush real quick when shot at. Last time they done some here where I live they got 88 in 3 days, then the wolves got wise and the greenies got an injunction; but the kill % was dropping quick then anyway. Origiunally they wanted to get 250 out of the estimated 400 wolves in my area; actually they were lucky to get 88.
We get a few every hunting season when the caribou are migrating through as the wolves walk the rural roads. I sit on a chair in the bed of my trk with gun on cab roof on sandbags. They have certain places they always cross. I just pull off the road and wait until dusk.
You don't want wolves down in lower 48 if they ain't there now, just too many problems with wolf luvers once they get established.
