Teanaway Pack confrontation

[Birddogman]

Where?  And I agree the SSS is a good way of handling that.  Shoot the one /out the collar.

He needs to make sure he reports this!!!!!!     

 And as he is in law enforcement let's hope he is believed and not just told he saw yotes!! 

or hyrbirds

Is it even illegal to kill a hybrid? 

not sure but sounds like peolple love to blame hybrids when its livestock attacks

This is a true story.  This guy is my hunting partner and I work with him.  He called me this morning and said it was the scariest thing he has ever been through.  He also definitely knows the difference between a coyote and a wolf.  He's already contacted state game and will be filing an official report on Monday. 

He first spotted one wolf standing broadside on a trail ahead of him while he was on horseback.  The thing wouldn't move.  After a bit he realizes he has two more wolves, one approaching on his right and another sneaking up on his left flank.   He knew he couldn't try to run on his horse or they'd just drag it down.  He dismounted and the only weapon he had was his snub nose 5 shot .38, which on a side note I think this is the last time he'll bring that little thing out in the woods.

He slowly started backing his horse and he noticed the wolf ahead of him on the trail disappeared and then the two approaching on his flanks began to parallel him at 30 yards.  He said he definitely had a good look at them, better than he wanted.  He didn't know where the first wolf went or how many additional wolves there were.  He lost sight of the two wolves flanking him when he got into some thicker brush which really freaked him out and he remounted his horse and rode like hell for about ten minutes at that point.

well if they are only yotes and hybrids they are totally fair game to shoot  feral dogs can be shot if they are hazing wildlife or threaten you, no questions asked in fact there is a law that requires free ranging dogs on public lands that are harassing wildlife to be destroyed.

a 38 to the head is gonna kill a dog/wolf figure my 9mm will also work in a pinch

If know one wants to give specifics on location for others to be on the lookout how about at least-west fork, middle fork or north fork??  I understand they can range 20-40 miles in a day but just a last seen here heads up for thoughs of us who hike/hunt the Teanaway would be a life saver....maybe

Sounds like prey studing

Agree here, if just a general idea... Been hiking up there some in the Teanaway..  Would like to know at least what fork we are discussing here....

Wow is all I have to say! If I was in a similar situation I would have already had my gun drawn and probably popping off shots... so    keeping composure. Be safe out there to all of you guys that go out in that area... I am still not happy waiting in anticipation for the day I see one in my neck of the woods...

[ELKBURGER]

In that scenario I dont think SSS is needed...only the 1st S is. Very justified and documented.

[muleyslayer#1]

I see Wolf tags in the near future.

[jrebel]

If it ever happens can you imagine the cost    Our WDFW office will find a way to capitalize on this Wolf debacle.  My guess is 150-300 dollars to kill a dog and it will be a OIL tag.

I think killmore is correct, they are prey testing....

Remember the story that hirshey posted from the Chelan area last year? My son has had wolves flanking him and his dogs as they walked out after dark in Idaho, scared the heck out of him.

I agree with the others, it's only a matter of time.

I don't like this statement, it's bad karma and bad form. 
 
reason I say this is because I know it won't be some liberal democrat - it'll be some innocent kid out for a walk with his momma and the pet lab.
