Close Call with Teanaway Pack

[Timberstalker]

One more note of caution to the OP: keep that pup away from their scat. Echinococcus granulosus is no joke; not for the dog or your family. According to one study done by IDFG, as much as 65% of these eaters are infected with the disease and it's a zoonosis - transferable to humans. Bad news, man.

Damn, that's spooky.

Probably just a big dog or hybrid!!

Still, it's a weird feeling to know they are cruising the same trails we are! I don't care how many positive run-ins people have had, I'd still be nervous seeing one up close and personal with a pup in tow!

You obviously know a bit about the pack, their movements, and what they do. Why would you take a snack size critter out there , in their territory, then say you'd feel 'weird' running into one?

There's thousands of other trails to hike that are wolf free, your actions just seem to escape logic if you are that concerned.

The USFWS knew about this when they proposed the plan and never divulged that they were going to transplant infected animals.

The different reactions we all have are interesting.  One time when driving a logging road in Canada I stopped and peed on a stump.  When I came back by a few hours later I noticed a pair of wolf tracks in the snow. They had walked down the road and one had veered over to the stump and peed on it where I had. 

What do I recommend to do when you see a wolf/bear/cougar in the wild?  Be grateful.  And shoot it when appropriate!

This is how I keep track of wolves if I'm being followed or not.  I'll pee on a dirt patch, a gopher mound or scrape the dirt then pee in the middle of it.  When I come back down I check out all my scrapes 

Don't laugh, you gotta pee anyhow, might as well put it to use and see who's following you!

Ever come back and find a beautiful female in heat waiting  by your scrape?

[KFhunter]

mostly just jealous males with their hackles up   








   j/k   I've done it quite a bit, found a lot of wolf tracks on my scrapes  (they usually tear it up good then pee on top) but I haven't found a wolf actually standing on my scrape. 

gave me an idea....

How common are wolf attacks on humans?

Nah, they never attack people.
See the wounded veterans being healed with wolves.
And don't nobody dare to open their fat rotten Neanderthal mouths against our veterans.

Wondering if you actually watched this video?  Rescued wolf dogs.  They were demesticated and raised to be sled dogs I bet.  I grew up around this in nirthern Minnesota.  They will raise wolves from pups because they have great stamina to pull sleds.  Then they breed them huskies and malmutes.
