Is it legal to shoot them there? Here the charge for ki//ing a wolf is more severe than for another human 😡
Anything that attacks you or your critters, whether it is endangered or out of season can be shot. The fish and flower decided to transplant six elk to an island across from Ketchikan. They decided that the garden of one of the residents was the best food on the island. After replanting the garden and repairing the fence multiple time, and after numerous calls the land owner called the Alaska fish and flower and told them to come get their six elk carcasses off his land.
 
We are heading out shortly to collect the last of the firewood for this winter. A nice spot of several large spruce standing deadwood. The misses and I cut trails to them this spring and prepped the spot. Lots of bear scat when we did this. The beagle is pretty good at telling us bears are about, but this is no guarantee. A nice chest rig with my 454 provides a bit of comfort. The place is loaded with berries of all varieties, so they will be in the area.
 
It's always best to have a sacrificial dog, or a slower friend when in grizzly country.
You have to be careful when taking a dog into the woods. The dog will be having a wonderful time exploring. When the dog goes up the trail ahead of you it will be the first to find the bear. Even the dumbest dog knows this is a no win situation. The dog then runs for safety, you, with a bear right behind it. If you see your dog running for you make your firearm ready, you only have seconds.

That is how my neighbor and friend of 21 years got mauled to death and eaten.
 
When berry picking and other ..out in bush.. activities my constant companion was a 12ga riot gun.. Not as handy as other options, but ..did the job required.. more than once..
I always carried a 500 S&W mag in a shoulder holster when out in bear country, especially when salmon fishing.
 
Not knowing the proper answer, can be very painful........or "FATAL".

The ball is in your court. Don't FUMBLE.
Nobody. it triggers the "chase instinct" Bow up and scream like Godzilla and try to look bigger than you are, popping an umbrella open scares the crap out of most things! putting a backpack between you and it helps.
 
When in bear country you only need 5 things.
1 Lucky rabbits foot. Very powerful magic.
2 pen knife. you may get a splinter.
3 compass. So you know which way to run when a bear comes after you.
4 protein bar. you have to keep up your energy from all that running.
5 gatorade. you do not want to get dehydrated.
 

Here's four that should have run quicker or not been in the area. These all occured in the last couple of years....this is just a sampling of the run ins with apex predators. Here in Montana.​

Wolves and feral dogs hunt a lot alike. your best bet is to put your back to a big tree and draw your weapon, then try to figure out who the alpha male is and do him first. the rest will likely scatter.
I am curious if this is something you have personally experienced, or was internet learned...???
 
Hello!! Watch the movie "Prey". Watched it this morning.
Y'all have heard of the Predator movies.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11866324/
Naru, a skilled warrior of the Comanche Nation, fights to protect her tribe against one of the first highly-evolved Predators to land on Earth.
Interesting, I'll have to look for it.
 
Does anyone have any "PERSONAL" experience with Wolves? Especially LARGE Packs of wolves....???

Say 50 to 100 in one pack.
Since we live just a bit north of yellowstone....the park not the TV show, I have seen wolves in the wild inside yellowstone. We like to drive thu as early as some roads are plowed and there just seems to be lots of wildlife then and a lot fewer tourists. Watching them thru a high powered scope is interesting and we had one pace our car as he was trotting/loping thru the woods. The packs here run smaller than 50 and spread out at least 200 miles north of the park.. I have interacted with people who have captured wolves chasing deer and such when they run past their remote trail cams..
The daily limit during wolf hunting season is 5 per person and they are incredibly wary when outside yellowstone... Trapping is one way to catch them and harvest the pelts and reduce the pressure on cattle.
Bagging a elk has become harder and harder since the wolves moved into a wide area outside the park.
