Trophy hunting scum

You've only been 'attacked' by a wolf once? Do you think this is a normal thing? Do you think most people are attacked multiple times? You seem surprised you've only been "attacked" once (attacked is in quotes because you weren't actually attacked, you saw a wolf once snow shoeing. It didn't attack you)

Exactly!!

I see far more wolf tracks and scat than I do from dogs, if that gives you any frame of reference. The trails here literally look like an interstate from all the tracks, deer tracks cross the trails and rarely follow them, wolves tend to follow them more.

Normal? no, but it will happen more and more as they come to learn humans and sources of food go hand in hand.

Do you think most people are attacked multiple times?
obviously you'll never be attacked, I don't think a wolf will ever go in your mother's basement
 
Re: Trophy hunting scum

Exactly!!

c'mon, you asked for just one, I could have given you plenty more, and if you actually read the second of my links you'd see what I'm saying is true
remind me again what somebody from Chicago would know about wolves from experience

I know there are plenty of wolves in Chicago with greasy hair and too much cologne, but we're not talking about that kind

I’ve been reading about wolves, behavior, conservation etc for 30 years. And i’ll Tell you this again, when I go in the woods my fears in this order are: mountain lion, bear. End of list. Wolf attacks are so rare in North America and particularly rare in the u.s as to say you’d have better odds of winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning twice in your lifetime.

And for the record I live in Milwaukee. Born in Chicago, lived there for 14 years on and off. What the hell does that have to do with knowledge of wolves?

Maybe this will help you?

When?

A 2002 report prepared for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game found no human deaths in North America attributed to wild, healthy wolves since at least 1900.

This generation has seen 13,000 accidental deaths due to guns yet 2 wolf fatalities. Wolves are nothing to wet them over.
 
Re: Trophy hunting scum

While pokechecker may have seen a lone wolf a few years ago, I'd venture that coyotes are more his problem.
 
Re: Trophy hunting scum

Huh. Who knew a couple of people from Chicago *do* know more about wolves than our so-called expert here on the board?



*edit* Also, that's a good article which continues to back up our point: wolf attacks are less likely than winning the Powerball and it was an ostracized lone wolf.

Re: Trophy hunting scum

Also, maybe the only way to stop these "increasing" wolf attacks (according to pokechecker) is if every person has their own wolf they can carry with them. But we also need to allow ourselves to be protected from wolves while in public, so we'll need some sort of conceal carry permit for our personal wolves... the only way to stop a bad lone wolf is with a good wolf.
 
Re: Trophy hunting scum

Its a known fact that excessive noise scares off animals including wolves.

Simple noise maker is hundreds of times safer than a gun.

why didn't you say so, that changes everything!!!:rolleyes:
it doesn't matter if you read books in Milwaukee or Chicago
it does make a difference though, if you actually get out in the world where the wolves are

Ooooooorrrrr..... you could stop interfering with where wolves live and go hike elsewhere?

next you'll be telling me to not wear DEET and leave the mosquitoes alone
you eunuchs would be funny if the consequences of your idiocy wasn't so serious

Mosquitoes are a much bigger threat to you than wolves or even bears or mountain lions. People hike in areas with large predators all the time. Attacks are rare. You should spend your time worrying about other things and stop being such a p ussy

Wrong.

Use DEET to your hearts content. I do. I also give my dogs a heartworm preventative because heartworm is also transferred through mosquitos.


Speaking of heartworm, it's likely more of a killer of wolves than wolves are to humans.
