Lots out your way or just some sneaking/lurking around occasionally? Usually they pounce just after " last call " 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Damn impressive animals. But if I owned live stock, or they were prowling around my house, yea dead wolf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a nuisance and their numbers around here have exploded. When they were taken off the endangered list a few years back the dnr decided to let 100 of them be trapped. They issued permits to anyone that wanted them and their plan was to just cancel the season as soon as 100 tags were filled. In the first 72 hours they ended up with like 160 tags turned in quicker than they could cancel the season. They thought it would take a week to 10 days and it barely took 48hrs What's that tell you about their numbers ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a pack of them crossing the road in land o lakes. Big fuckers. Saw one between Grand Marais and Pine Stump about 15 years ago. Big fucker too.

irv Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Seen a show, like this story, years ago about how devastated some National Parks, namely Yellowstone, became after all the wolves were killed off. Reintroduction of them has brought some balance back but they figure it will takes years yet before it is back to normal. I know some hate them, yotes, cougars, whatever, but there has to be a balance or all species can suffer. https://www.yellowstonepark.com/things-to-do/wolf-reintroduction-changes-ecosystem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin george Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 We started seeing more wolves year after year in the winter up in the Hali Forest when out riding. One year somebody cut the double fence to the enclosure at the wolf center and when a couple came out shot them. I don't know if they ever found out who it was or motive.

I could shoot deer in our yard almost every day, no challenge in that though. Hunt deer in woods that aren't used to being around people - whole different thing.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted November 19, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 19, 2019 If predator population's aren't kept in check they can go well beyond taking just the weak.

S.S.S. Shoot...Shovel....Shut up. True, that being said I have read where they will have larger litters when being hunted a lot. That's why it's important to shoot em after birthing season. Also read that yearlings will set up their home turf around Febuary. So taking them out early March is the best time. But fuck it, take em out whenever ya see em.
