There was some northern MN pet owners who told stories of how wolves in came right into their yard and killed their pets. Some of the idiots representing the wolves actually cheered in favor of the wolves when they heard some of these stories. I am surprised they did not get either escorted out immediately or have the living daylights kicked out of them.It would have been extremely hard not to contain my emotions if it were one of my pets that had been killed by wolves and some mindless heartless tool said something like that in front of me.While I respect wolves etc..I have no remorse in keeping their numbers in check. Coyotes included. That video made me sick-brutal and honest but I still hated watching it. Last edited by MB Coonguy; 12/10/19 07:05 PM.

If it had been out of hunger,the dogs would have been ripped to shreds and devoured on the spot,guts ripped out and feeding immediately before the dogs died. They dragged both of those dogs off, and if I were betting, ate then. Security camera just didn't catch that because of fixed position. Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand

Its possible but not the way hungry wolves act.I bet they dragged them around all right to show dominance.I have often left moosehides at baitsites for an attractor,and the wolves drag that hide around all over the place. Hungry wolves start eating right away,they don't bother killing stuff first.seen a pack of 5 once eating a cow moose,they were feeding on the rear end and the moose was still standing-no fight left though just quivering in shock while being devoured. And like White stated they often kill and eat their own pack members occasionally. Last edited by Boco; 12/11/19 02:53 AM. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The wolves would howl and the dogs would howl back. UNLESS the wolves got too close for comfort. Then the OLD dogs would get real small in their houses while the young dogs continued to howl. Never had any wolves try to mess with the dogs though. I have run head on into 5 wolves on the trail. The dogs just stopped but the wolves turned and loped back the way they had come. Were those timber wolves or dire wolves? Also, how many spears were normally carried? I would think more than three would get rather ungainly to handle. YEP ! They were so big you could only get one in the sled at a time Mean As Nails

But, we need to get back to the days where they feared man and weren't so bold to come right up into their yard killing their pets or livestock. The only way to do that is to hunt and trap them to reduce their numbers. The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
