Two Wolves Shot The Last Weekend In May

[bearpaw]

Reports on the Colville radio about two wolves shot this weekend.

A father and daughter were walking in the woods in GMU 121, a wolf came onto the roadway and ran straight toward them, the father dropped the wolf at 25 yards. A WDFW official was on the radio claiming it's hard to say if the wolf was an actual threat to the individuals.

A collared female wolf was illegally shot on the LPO refuge, there is an ongoing investigation and very little info is available.

At 25 yards, running towards me, I would feel threatened.

Good riddance x2  👌

Can’t say I’m surprised, nor sorry it happened

[Meathunter06]

Sounds like a great start

[elkrack]

 I think a wolf looks at me the wrong way I’m gonna feel threatened plus I would never call the WDFW   They would probably attempt to prosecute any case in Unless the wolf was Actually physically on top of you 🙄

[HillHound]

Yeah and you better let him take a few bites so he has your flesh in his stomach. I’m sure they would still prosecute if you accidentally shot the one that wasn’t chewing on your leg.

[KFhunter]

ahh?  no.


I'll let my peers here in Eastern Washington judge me if it came to that. 

[jasnt]

ahh?  no.

Shoot
It’s up to me to protect my family. Especially if my kid is with me. This society is getting ridiculous. Way out of wake

We’re fighting against idiots plain and simple. What happens in the field, stays in the field. Do the right thing but not necessary to report it.

The interview sounds fairly reasonable.  Wolf popped out on the trail at 30 yards, moved toward the guy and he killed it at 25 yards.  Wolves don't typically want to be around people and it is entirely possible the wolf just didn't know he was there.  Either way, he was justified to be scared and justified to kill it.  Case closed.

It sounds like both wolves were killed in self-defense, one possibly preemptively. Very sad indeed, but we should all try to move forward from this tragedy.
