Don't know how many of you might have seen this already. Some Wolf video from WI. Not mine. Wolf Pack - GIF on Imgur
I like it. But I also don't like it. I hunt the same county as the 2 attacks. Definitely "packing" for the walk to the stand from here on out.
That's a serious pack on the move ! I lived in Salmon Idaho 95 till 97 when they let the first 15 mating pair go up in the North fork area. That was a huge mistake
I like wolves. Heck I even like coyotes. They all have their place. But we have to keep them in their place. There's way too many of both in a lot of areas. And both species have been allowed to be fearless toward Man in way too many places. I hunted elk NW of Salmon a few years back. The locals said there were a crapload of wolves in the area and to be careful, but we never saw one or even heard a single howl. Doesn't mean they weren't there at all, just means it wasn't what I would consider "crawling with" wolves as we were lead to believe.
After 6 days straight of no elk (it was early, hot, and there was ZERO bugling) we stumbled onto a water hole where my partner screwed the pooch on a very nice 6x6. Next day I shot a cow and appx 5 minutes later a nice 5x5 stepped right into the same clearing. Oh well, she tasted real nice and it was an awesome experience!
