Wolf season year around....

I'm familiar with the Mongolians using dogs, but those wolves over there are not as big as these beasts that were imported from Canada that we have. Hound hunters in Idaho and Montana have had their hounds eaten on multiple occasions by wolves. A larger breed and about a dozen of them running together might get the job done.

Wisconsin I think has had record number of bear dogs mauled and killed recently after they eliminated any wolf hunting. But they were  baying up and killing wolves successfully with regular 40-50 lb  walkers when they could. Not huge packs 3 maybe 4 walkers hard to believe but it was happening. They tried to turn out on single tracks but that seems sketchy because the single could be going to meet 10 more. I think around 2013 or 14 it was ended. You can google some outdoor articles too.  Pretty interesting

supposedly the wolves scatter pretty good when they are being chased by dogs.

I had wolves come in on three of my hounds one time this winter.  There was two or three of them and they approached my dogs at a jog until they were ~10 yards away.  My dogs were nose down and working hard on a tough track.  When the wolves were right on top of them my lead dog (whisper- 35lbs...) looked up and saw the wolf and immediately charged while bawling.  Thank goodness the wolves ran.  The dogs ran them ~300 yards and came back.  It was scary for sure and I am surprised the dogs acted that way and really surprised the wolves responded that way.

I know a bunch of guys that have ran wolves with success with thier coyote hounds in WI. They just look for singles or pairs, they bay up like a coyote

Heck. That's what these guy's were bred for. Throw in some over sized pitbulls and have at it.

I'm surprised too, and glad nothing bad happened.

Sight hounds won’t do much good here and pit bulls wouldn’t do anything at all

HC, some type of cross with a hound might work, as I'm sure you know quite a few guys have successfully crossed hounds with various types of breeds for various purposes

Oh yea I’m sure there’s something that could bred up eventually. There is some guy in MT that was crossing kangals and blueticks I think? Just couldn’t get the stamina and nose to keep strong enough in the pups if I remember right.

 I've heard snares have been set on the north half,with some success already by the tribe.

They should be poisoned like they did in the old days.

There is no purpose to having them out there in these times

I’d turn tail too if I had her hot on my azz!  I don’t think anyone’s told whisper she’s only 35 lbs.....yet something tells me she couldn’t care less.

Lol- you're right about that.  She sounds quite a bit bigger!
