If they were my dogs i bring 2 that survived and would get them baying while a couple of buddies with AR's stacked them like cord wood.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Seriously, has anyone tried this?  I would think that you could hang a couple of tree stands so you could see travel routes and you would do very well.  Would a hound bay at a house cat?

Just use one of bearmanrics coyote howlers.   Has the same effect.    Anyone with any salt in the woods would know that coyotes stop howling once they hear a wolf.   Its not rocket science folks.

No problem asking questions but go back and read your guys post and you were  throwing the BS flag long before asking any questions.  That's what irritated me, not so much that you were asking for details, but that you just dismissed this story right from the get go and we all know your thoughts on wolves.  I think this is a good lesson to hold fire you get more details.

I never called BS. I asked for verification. This story may very well be true.  Unfortunately, a set of pictures, or even a video, as the hawk video shows, is not proof. That's just the way the internet works.

I've made the mistake of jumping on reasonable sounding stories from sources I would have expected to be reliable and passed them on only to be burned. I'm cautious of what I believe now until I can verify it, and usually by more than one source.

You didn't ask for verification first. You posted "Maybe they were "bad dogs" like these. http://dailyranger.com/story.php?story_id=3899&headline=Dogs-attack-sheep,-kill-44

"
How you would somehow relate a a story about dogs "reportedly" killing sheep to dead dogs killed by wolves is a stretch.

You could have at least asked some questions first rather than speculating it was "bad dogs".

Just pointing out that dogs kill more farm animals and domestic animals than wolves do.

There was a fable about a boy who cried "no wolf".

I have owned, bred, and hunted hundreds of hounds in multiple western states since the 70's. I have never heard of three dogs (hounds) freezing in the winter, never. We've been hound hunting in -10 to -20 temps the last few weeks and not one dog even cares about the temps. Simply put, hounds live outside year around and do not freeze to death. I find it amazing that people who know nothing of what they talk about would stoop to the level of basically calling someone a liar who has lost their dogs to wolves. But, as we all know, wolf lovers will go to any extent to promote wolves, another case in point.  :twocents:

To say that "wolf lovers" will go to any extent to promote wolves is painting a broad stroke across a complicated set of folks.

I do have a question about hounds that relates specifically to WA: Knowing that wolves in some yet undetermined numbers are here to stay, if you could expand hound-hunting of cougars, would it be worth it to you knowing these kinds of conflicts would inevitably increase as a result?

 
Which side are you on if neither will claim you?

Seems like maybe hunterman would come back on here and apologize.  Maybe that's too much to expect.
