Wolf Attack at Harts Pass
CAMPMEAT:
I liked the greenie painting on the side of the road we drove by today. He was a real go-getter for sure...

My opinion, If a wolf gets close enough for me to kill it with my sidearm while I am hunting then I am in danger and in fear for my life and well being and should have the right to take appropriate action to defend myself

With my wolf encounter, I was told unless I had bite marks on me I would have been in trouble. It will be interesting to get the entire story someday. Carter (author or Wolfer) is already spinning up the emotions on his Facebook page.. I'll say the same thing I did on his page in response to all his North Carolina and California followers:
"As someone who has had more than one encounter with wolves in that geographical area and come out of a particularly tense encounter with these predators unharmed (both the wolves and myself), I grimace at these remarks. Most of you are quick to condemn a person to harsh penalties with very little to no information yet provided. Most of you have probably only seen wolves in photographs or enclosures, and certainly a rare few can speak of feeling threatened by a wild animal to an extreme level. Shame on you for even trying to pretend you would or could put yourself in that gentleman's shoes. He could have.. He should have.. None of us have the full story just yet, but if my encounter (and another friend's since) is any indication, this particular geographic area has demonstrated an unhealthy level of habituation and lack of respect of boundaries for human-wolf interactions.

Old article but many of Carter's colleagues are cited as well as him.. Wolves that have become unwary of humans should be a large concern for everyone; for public safety as well as wolf recovery. With potentially that type of behavior being exhibited, it sets your cause back leaps and bounds. This is a sad day for everyone. At least he didn't just shoot it and leave it.. Perhaps he was trying to do what he felt was right. Again, ringing the alarm a little prematurely on this one Carter. Emotional journalism warfare at it's finest."

Camp, I finally got a hold of the range riders and the rancher, he told me of four wolves seen in Beaver cr yesterday, so the three you thought you saw above the one wolf was probably the same bunch. He also reported these wolves to the joke we call WDFW

The stupidity of the USFWS and WDFW shows up in their definition of a wolf attack. Taken to court they would not have leg to stand on, and they know this. Maybe they have another hand-picked crooked judge for wolf attacks.

I thought it was more wolves. What I saw certainly didn't run like deer. Too bad you weren't standing where I saw the others running.
