Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Rescue helecopter used to student from wolves

little red riding hood should at least carry bear spray. add some (gasp) m80's and the pack would be long gone.
1 shot from my 41 mag got 18 of them running pretty good.

An example of Theoretical meeting Actual.

Students these days...

Interesting story. Thanks for posting.

I’ve hunted that area for years and years and the game department said that what I had seen was a coyote and not a wolf. I told them that it was as much a wolf as he was a fool and that since it was a coyote and no wolves were acknowledged to be there that I’d shoot the coyote and prove him wrong. A few years later I was hunting with my wife’s uncle who’s a well seasoned Alaskan Sourdough when he whispered “wolf” we couldn’t get a shot and it’s probably best that we didn’t because as much as I would’ve loved to have been right I likely would’ve had a mess of grief on my hands proving that they were liars.

The “research student” is likely a wolf hugger, the same type of jackass that wanted or advocated for the proliferation of an apex predator with no controls in place. If so they’d have done us all a favor if they were wolf shi.t rather than rescued.

Instead of going in and shooting 1 or 2 of them and instilling fear of people into that pack they instead proved to them that humans ARE a potential source of food since there were no consequences.

This state has mismanaged our fish and game so egregiously that it’s criminal. They’ve all but given the flat nosed, fish-eating Indians total control of OUR fish, game and ground. I’ll continue to hunt ducks and geese down here and I’ll continue to crab and dig razor clams because I get a good return on my investment but the day is coming where I’ll escape to our place up north and not waste one more penny in this once great state. It’s sad because I have priceless memories of my adventures down here but like everything else it’s been ruined by liberal fa.gs.

Lennie, thanks for the link.

Aces, great post brother.

It’s not the wolves’ fault, they didn’t understand how much she loved and respected them. 🙄

"There was this other time I was counting three toed yellow backed frogs for the Dept of Three Toed Yellow Backed Frogs when I was surrounded by wolves. They weren't trying to hurt me, I think they were just trying to study human interaction with the wild".

"I climbed a tree to get a better view and was able to observe them in their natural state for several hours".

I like to see this sort of story. A little danger adds spice. GD

Unarmed and clueless people in the woods in proximity to re-introduced apex predators with little reason to fear humans.

Some deaths seem inevitable.

I would have just threw burning pine cones at them to buy time until the eagles showed up..

Wolves are so cute and cuddly, fake news......

Prepared as in more body bags? They should have had a shooter in the helo ready to take out as many wolves as possible when they got there.

That might happen in Idaho, but this was in WA. They LOVE their cuddly puppies.

I overnighted in that very campsite July1 with my 5yo daughter, then hiked into the Lakes for an overnighter July 2/3. Got snowed on all day the 2nd. Lots of doggy prints on the trail...and furry poop, in two instances they'd crapped right on top of a salad-plate-sized flat rock, right in the middle of the trail?

She sounds like a good climber.

Were you carrying?

They should have sent our helicopter, complete with a gunner, and his shotgun. The results would have been much better.
