A member at one of my old gun clubs had vacation/hunting property in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He seemed a steady sort, and not given to telling tall tales. One day he told me he had called the Michigan state game people a few years before to complain about a wolf with a tracking collar who had been hanging around the neighbor's property where there were small children. Send somebody out to trap it, he said. It needs to be relocated.
The woman who answered the phone told him it would be a couple of weeks before they could address the call, or ... he could just belly shoot it and let it run off to die, thereby saving everybody a lot of trouble.
Then she hung up. Didn't give her name.
He didn't do it, but he said it gave him a new perspective on game management in the northern part of the state.
Never heard what happened to the wolf. Or the neighbor's children, for that matter.
