I talked to a Wyoming G&F warden and he said that grizz are far more of a concern to a human than wolves. Not sure if he was referring to a pack or a lone wolf. .

That movie clearly outlines how to take care of a reckless wolf.

I personally like the Bourne Legacy.....stick them in a headlock, shove a transmitter down their throat and let a laser guided missle do the job.    Thats the manly way.  Catch, release, incinerate....

Good call, Doug. I forgot about that one.

Seriously, its not fear, its called respect.   I have been followed, I have been watched and I have been hunted by them.  If I change hunting areas its because it is VOID of food(game), not becasue I am afraid of wolves.

Just remember before you shoot to say "its coming right for us!"  :chuckle: On a serious note though you are far more likely to be attacked by a moose than a wolf.

Yes, but much less likely to be eaten by the moose.  :chuckle:

 I worry more about walking the streets at night than I do walking the woods at any time of the day or night! Those humans are savage critters!

Agreed...my friend got robbed at 1pm last Saturday afternoon in the Mcdonalds drive-thru on 176th and Meridian in Puyallup. The guy jumped in the back seat of the car behind her; chocked the chit out of the lady in the driver seat, and took her purse. Ran up to the next car (my friend) and tried to steal my friends Coach bag (purse) and snatched $40 out of her hand. He takes off on foot and 2 cars waiting for their food ahead take off after him. The dumb ass heads off into the woods by the airport and gets caught by police. Some of you probably heard about this. So now the dumb ass is going to prision over $40, 1 purse with a minimal amount of cash. What a flipping idiot!

Perhaps we should be taking idiots like this and dump them off in Preacher Canyon. The wolves have NOT KILLED ANYTHING up there!! At least that is what our lovely game department claims.

this is such a true statement, so much has changed in my town in the last 10 years. whether in the woods or your own home town we have to be vigilant in our survival from all predictors no matter how many legs they have.

My curiosity has the better of me and wonder how many responded to option 3 in this poll and yet were slamming that the penalties weren't stiff enough in this Topic http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,125467.0.html Wow Stiff punishment Really?
