They must be taking a load off of those deer hunters who selfishly have to sacrifice their time an money to thin the herds.

I meant selflessly, not selfishly.

Changes the whole context.

I saw it on the back of a truck a couple of weeks ago.

[OneVike]

good point.

You must be kidding. Wolves don’t know borders. They’ve traveled all over the continent. Same with Mexican Gray wolves, or any other critter for that matter. My sister has a Coatamundi in the central AZ. Now if Bengal tigers can swim an ocean....

The wolves aren’t going to eat the people. Not even going to address your fears because the line of thought is just way too silly.

If you aren't going to read the articles, you won't have anything but your uninformed opinion to discuss. Here's another link you'll probably ignore.

As the article at the top of this thread pointed out, the Canadian grey wolves are killing for fun, not to eat. In their natural habitat in the artic, large packs of wolves hunt together chasing very large herds of caribou.

The wolves that were indigenous to the US Rockies hunted in pairs mostly, not in packs.

Watched two programs (unrelated) that had wolf issues.

Yellowstone where as you posted wolves do kill for the hunt not for food.
The ranger was ok with that as they kill sick Bison and that is keeping things in balance making for healthier bigger heards of Bison.

The other was where dogs evolved from.
The thing that us dog lovers like is our Dogs look us in the eyes to non verbally communicate where a wolf and no other animal even chimps for that matter do not gaze into our eyes.

As a practition in non verbal communication I can tell you allot is communicated by the eyes.

Been doing it for over 30yrs human to human and that is the one thing that gives us that bond to our dogs.

It even causes a hormonal reaction in us that reduces stress and has a calming effect.

I will attest to that having been a dog owner 45yrs of my life.

I don’t know the new chipmonks that have been coming onto the deck (lured with bird fruit/seeds) have been giving my 2 Labs and Dachshund quite a good hunt.

(dogs have never spent so much time outside now they are parked right at the chipmonk spot)

If you drive here along the coast on the windy hair pin turns you have areas you have to be alert for the Elk.

We have it all here. Two young bucks where sneaking by the other day as the boys napped right under their nose.

I love that about Oregon.
Bears and all. We don’t have bear on our property area but they are around in other rural areas North and South of us.

Raccoons rarely show up due to the dogs patrolling and no garbedge around but go down the road to the bay front late at night and they are hanging out on corners in small groups at the fish plants.

We live at a bird sanctuary which is good viewing.

Awesome stuff.
