No need, Wolfie. I never had to shoot one.
However, the men out around the perimeter of the airfield for security were often placed in that position.
Wolves there were super-sized and very hungry and aggressive, with slim pickings for din-din.
Have to laugh at the stupidity of some military minds, though.
On one occasion an airman brought in the wolf who'd attacked him, and a green lieutenant actually tried to make him pay for the bullets he'd expended!!
LOL
By the way, when we drove the Alaska Highway in the dead of winter to move to Fairbanks, we stopped at a remote outpost filling station in the Yukon Territory of Canada. The owner was most hospitable and asked if the boys (then 7 & 8) wanted to see a wolf he had shot the day before.
In the garage, he had tied a rope around the hind legs and tied the other end of the rope to a very high rafter. We stared at it, open-mouthed.
I kid you not - it was the size of a small pony, its nose nearly touching the floor!!
Made our German shepherd look like a kid's stuffed toy.
They grow everything big up there! .45MAN has told me stories about the mosquitoes the size of helicopter! LOL!
OK, so I exaggerate a little....but he said they were huge. Also *stawberries* each one the size of a meal! :-)
I really like that! I'll definitely be on the lookout!
Did I say something about all being forgiven? Sheesh, what a dork I am!
Uh-oh!!!LOL!!
But you're a cute little "dork". : )
I just know Louie is chafing at the bit, badly wanting to say, "We won't touch that!" and doesn't dare!
LOL
No need, Wolfie. I never had to shoot one. bet you would have. : (
And please....no more gory wolf stories.
Reading about my wolfie brethren hanging from a rafter.....makes me nervouser. LOL
Exactly why I pointed out that 'Annie' is a little slim.
.45Man meant something else....no way I was going 'there'. LOL
lol ! I just found that via a Google Search...
Music, and now smilies....you know how to please. : )
Aw....thank-you!
Ya think? Boy, now he is REALLY in trouble!!! :-(
She is SCARY! No way would I want to tangle with her!!! :-)
I have a smiley face for Lady when she comes back. Here it is Lady
