Las, good shooting, too bad you didn't get all of them. Well, I do feel sort of bad about killing a pup that only wanted to play. If that truly was her intent and the rest of the pack's I'd happily apologize to the survivors. For as long as my ammo held out... And she was the only one to show herself long enough for a snap shot. Or snapshot, once I slowed her down a bit. Bearhunter. - quality counts, but so does quantity! I'd love to hang a black one alongside the grey.

My response to those treehuggers that worship the wolf and would jump on the thought of bringing them to California??????? . . . . . Did my part for wolf reduction in Alaska back in '98. Pulled off a double while on a Caribou hunt.

What you gentlemen from "outside" the known center of the universe, Saskatchewan, don't know is how many outside sources came here to defend the wolves side of the story. It was surprising to see how hard they worked to de-monster the wolves and it embarrased us from here to see this happen. Nice to see for once that the truth did prevail.

The real wonder is that it took so long for a conclusive incident of North American wolves preying on humans to come to light. Along those lines, its a pity that the Natureswolves.com website is no longer up, its founder having been charged with poisoning wolves. It had a pretty good compendium of wolf depredations... http://www.propertyrightsresearch.org/2005/articles05/wolf.htm On the original sight was an account called "Who Killed Chris..." (Cable? Krinkle?) . This presented a pretty convincing case from the disposition of his clothing, personal items and scattered remains, that a trapper in the North Woods in the early 1900's was attacked and killed by a pack of predatory wolves. The Colt Peacemaker he carried to defend himself apparently suffereing a broken mainspring at the outset. (As sad a case of Murphy's Law as I've ever heard) Birdwatcher

I'm serious, if Central Park had their fair share the opinions would change!

If wolves do target prey which deviates from the norm, they would have a target rich environment and a sustainable food source in Central Park.
I am all in favor of crating up about a hundred and shipping them to NYC.

Ok.. So there was a fatal wolf attack in a remote section of North America. What is all of the fuss about? For those of you who live in Metro ____ this sounds scary and you feel like we should round up the bad guys (wolves) but for those of us who live in the hinter lands seeing wolves, bears and all of natures furry beast is all part of the package. Any time man ventures into the wilds we should expect to run into the animals that live here. When I fly down to Anchorage or LA I expect to see some of the local animals who call that city home and I also know that there are some places that are a little more dangerous than others. So should we shoot all of the wild animals (people) who live in these places because a tourist was found dead outside of a 7-11 just after midnight?? Comes with the territory don�t you think? Any time I jump onto my Sno-go and head out into the Brooks Range there is a good chance that I may run into something that would like to harm me, that�s ok because the chances are good that I am looking to harm something myself. Loosen up guys! It�s called nature and I love to see her in all of her grandeur! The chances are much higher that you will get your ass kicked by a cow moose than a wolf! Last spring I surprised a cow and new calf walking my property out near Wrangle St. Ellis National Park in eastern Alaska. Damn near crapped my self and about got my block kicked in. Kind of cool after I had a few hours to calm down! Life if always a danger and that is why we live up here! Never a dull moment! So you guys in downtown _____ calm down and head back to the mall and be careful as the chances are much higher that you will get run over by a drunk driver that a wolf coming in and getting your tasty butt Walt Kotzebue, Alaska www.northwestalaska.com

The fuss is that there are plenty of people who think that wolves don't do that.

The fuss is that hunters, on average seem to like to demonize wolves the way some of the more way-out tree hugger like to deify them. Both sides are fairly ridiculous.

yeah there's plenty of folks that think they don't do that,
but in large part mostly it's those same folks who think that firearms are only used by bad guys too.
Who cares what they think? They ain't been thinkin right for a long time.
I hope I see some wolves close enough to be worried about them this winter. Worried if I'm leading them enough.

New York City needs a few packs! They can have ours. Amen! Methinks Central Park would be ideal wolf habitat. Along with any other eastern states and locations that are home to LIBERALS, GREENIES, and TREE HUGGERS. Let's share them "magnificent" wolves, along with their nightly blood-curdling yowls.

The feds have assured us that the wolves in Wy.,Mt., and Idaho would never do such a thing as they are not meat eaters and never kill for fun. So we sre safe. I'm in favor of "sharing" some wolves with "those feds," and turning 'em loose on their door step. Along with any wolf repopulators that helped turn loose this threat. Apparently I'm among good like-minded folks on this thread.

It's not so important what they think, but that a fair and balanced view is presented to the public. A newsstory might cover a PETA protest about wolf control, but seldom and in few places cover a livestock depredation or even this human depredation story. The nonhunting public sees wolves the same way they see their pet dogs - cute, warm, fuzzy, and utterly harmless. We know it ain't so, but need that information to get out. That "fair and balanced" thing. The wolf huggers are also the type that seem to be filling the biologist positions in federal agencies and burdening folks in some areas with reintroductions of wolves. That by itself isn't so bad it seems to me, but foot-dragging to manage wolves like all other wildlife is a problem. The wolf-hugging public only gets one view of wolves.

NORTHWESTALASKA - "So should we shoot all of the wild animals (people) who live in these places because a tourist was found dead outside of a 7-11 just after midnight??" Sounds like a plan to me!!! L.W. (35 years resident of Los Angeles. )

I love that pic! Ditto! Nice goin', LAS. Here in WA state, I've known folks who have lost dogs to coyotes, that were clever enough to entice the bowswer to go play with a coyote-bitch in heat, with a pack waitin'! Go figure. I don't doubt that wolves are at least as clever.
