“Gotta wonder if there’s not something else about the cross breeds that will bring them into towns. Mighty bold behavior when their instincts should be to avoid humans.”
These are not cross breeds, just larger Canadian Grays that have lost their fear of humans due to no hunting and shortage of natural prey that they have already decimated. You see the same behavior with ALL predators - cougars, bears, coyotes, etc. all across the western states.
Politicians and judges are feckless and useless, so do the three S’s whenever possible and defund each and every bill to reintroduce these predators into urban areas! Reasonable hunting seasons would soon cause a balance that is sustainable and balanced but the eco-nazis oppose that.
So screw ‘em and the horse they rode in on!

Thanks. I suppose we could add to that many of these wolves have spent some time around humans. From capturing, to sequestering, feeding and handling before re-release back into the wild would no doubt skew their instincts to see humans as less threatening. Wild animals with little fear of humans is NOT a good thing eh?
