Might be proof it actually happened and isn't a bs internet story.

My guess is that in Montana this kind of thing doesn't get reported much, just taken care of.

Are you kidding? They like having lots of bad news against wolves to justify wiping them out.

Take a look at Toby Bridges' crackpot website, he'd be all over anything remotely sensational.

It supposedly happened at 1000 this morning, come on guys, give it a little time before you throw the BS flag.  You may very well be right, but dang you're discounting it before even finding out the facts.  Quite a few hounds are killed that are never reported to the media.

You guys missed my point. Montana is a very big state. With a very small population. Not reporting it leaves you the opportunity to go out "target shooting" without fears of your neighbors being concerned and calling authorities.

I dont know the guy well, just talked to him a few times when he was looking at some pups I had. But I can confirm that this did happen from his fb, really sad. Hate to see this happen to anyone, but he from the sound of it they were very good dogs.

I don't doubt this story, could be wolf kills.

I notice the collars have been pulled off, so more than likely the corpses rode back home in the back of a truck then was tossed in the snow for a pic

what i like is how many on here haven't even seen a wolf or track, yet they can tell it don't look like wolf kill?lol my guess is they are not pictured where they were found but can someone smarter than i tell me what to look for in a wolf kill? do they jump on there backs and bite down on neck, maybe hamstring em, I have only seen several dogs killed by wolves and each were very different, depending on how many wolves, were the dogs unaware and ambushed because they were at the tree, where the dogs trying to get away or fighting the wolves? can i get some ideas?

I think what everyone maybe referring to is the lack of any visible wounds at all.

How about these wounds!!





These dogs were in fact killed by wolves.  They were at a lion tree doing their job.  4 kids had to drag they're best friends out of the woods.

Here is a reliable friend of mine account:

A good friend, his younger brother and my cousin’s (##### ##########'s) two daughters went on a lion hunt today. Wanting to enjoy this fine winter day, following the bawl of a hound on the trail of a lion seemed like a great idea. They all love the outdoors and are thankful for the wonderful opportunities that Montana offers.

Thinking they were hiking in to take a few pictures at a tree, they found tragedy instead. I will never forget the look on their faces when I drove up to meet them. Something no one should ever have to encounter. It is very sad day when four kids have to pack 3 of their best friends off of the hill. As Adeline said “Hiking out with dead dogs over our shoulders, covered in blood, and listening to wolves howl, isn't how our cat chase was supposed to end.”

That definately makes a difference. Yeah, that looks like they were attacked.
