Living amongst wolves here in Wis.
I have seen plenty and have many pictures of them off my game cams.
I walk every morning and it is common to see fresh wolf sign/tracks daily.
I go about properly armed.
And in the city, for two-legged predators.
I would say the same advice could apply to the big city boy as well.. There are a heck of a lot of crazy wild animals running around out there..
For the two-legged predators you need to carry your policeman around with you - otherwise you are not allowed to defend yourself ... it's the law .... /s
my dtr just moved to Colville Wa...
The only good good wolf is a dead wolf. Same as a commie.
But as Biden said....Just shoot the wolf in the leg.
Ping to Wolf thread!
Hopefully you do not get a Russian Winter this year!
Hmmm. The governor of Pennsylvania is ????
If he attacks someone......
The author seems to be having some trouble figuring out where this happened.
WTH, both states are pretty far north I guess.
Close enough.
Go to the original article and it is very clear. The poster copied a caption from the photograph in the article which makes for confusion.
...........in my trips alone down the Yukon River in recent years I’ve always been entertained by the wolves at night with their howling “way off in the wilderness”. It literally, sometimes, raises the hair on your arm depending how close they are.
But, I’ve always kept my Remington 12 gauge magnum loaded with triple ought laying within arms reach plus my S & W 50 cal and after approximately 900 miles of downriver travel I’m still around.
The three dangers to continued breathing on the Yukon for a good guy by himself are bears, wolves and bad men.....and not necessarily in that order.
We were in the Green Bluff agricultural district north of Spokane a month ago and I met a couple from near Colville, WA. We had our 20 pound doggie with us and the wife began describing her two new Belgian Malinois puppies which were over 50 pounds at six months old. She said they were to protect her livestock from wolves and mountain lions.
Wolves eat domestic dogs ...of any kind.
Do you need special permit in Canada from Sgt. Preston for carrying the handgun?
I learned my lesson about being armed in wild country when I was about 19.
I had gone hiking in the Guadalupe Mountains in New Mexico, entering the mountains from their east side then driving pretty far in. This is a very remote area. So, I went hiking up a trail and about a mile in beard a loud snarl. A mountain lion was very close by although I could not see it and he quite obviously wanted me to get lost. I froze for some moments then slowly walked backwards then turned to slowly reverse down the trail.
Do not go into wild places unarmed even youre just going to hang around camp. The only reason humans are the apex predator is because we discovered weapons.
