It must be the smell.  :chuckle: the ones I was near on my bison hunt had this smell to them that I thought it was a biggie. :chuckle:  bear spray smelled better.

Reminds me of some of the fragrant flowers I’ve ran into on the PCT over the years. Nice folks tho and flip their biscuits when I give em a few mini snickers 😎

Serious question.  Why aren't more hippies attacked by wolves? I've never come across one with more than bear spray and that's usually a rarity.




Serious Answer. Most of the hippies were from the 60's/70's and they have either passed on or are to stoved up to be out wandering around in the woods.


I know that a few years ago there was a gathering of hippies up by KF's place. Drove by and they were frollicking in the small lake. Nothing more apealling than Nekid Mature women. Gravity doesn't have a sense of humor.

Exactly how many encounters have we had that we really don’t know of?  One, there’s the folks that have gone missing that we don’t know went missing, and then those that have been reported yet we don’t ever find.   Then the big one.  How many encounters go poorly for the wolf but are never reported.  Even if justified.....  look at how crazy the ones that are reported are treated.

This happened to a neighbor who lives 1/4 or 1/2 mile away from me. I can tell you this, it scared the dickens out of this guy, read the story with the first link, straight from the guy's mouth!

This incident used to be posted on the WDFW website, I just checked, it's gone, they removed it or else they watered it down so it doesn't appear as an attack.  :bash: :bash:

Wolves have been spotted in Colville for years. A friend of mine sent me a picture of a plaster cast made from a track not 100 feet from his house that measures over 6 inches wide. This was from last week up the Gold Creek loop. You can hear the damn things howling on any given night out on highway 20 corridor.

 :yeah:

WDF&Wolves manipulate everything wolf to favor wolves, not too many people who have followed the wolf situation in WA doubt this.

There is serious lack of knowledge in the dangers of the wolves to many people, WDF&Wolves hiding or refusing to release info. on previous wolf attacks in WA only makes matters worse. Some people will take wolf warnings to heart, while others try the argument that there have only been X number of fatal wolf attacks in North America. I guess the wolf/wolves will have to educated some people all over again.


And then there are the true wolf worshipers:

I talk to a lady a couple of years ago about wolves and packing while she was out on her walks, she told me she thought it would be "cool" to be killed by a wolf. She seemed fairly intelligent up to that point, so I offered to send her info. on the Alaskan school teacher that the wolves killed and ate part of. She declined the offer.

Do you guys think wolves are actually a threat to kids waiting at a bus stop? Serious question, not just being a jerk.

I think it is a serious concern for people who kids are actually standing waiting for the bus in areas where wolves are being seen!

Let me ask this, how would you feel?

I don’t have kids so that is why I asked. I just know that growing up our bus dropped us at the bottom of our hill and we walked home which was a little over a mile in a wooded area. We had bears and cats around our houses but it was never a concern. Question was purely out of curiousity

He makes a legit point.

Wolf behavior is different. As they become acclimated to humans, without fear of harm from them, they'll come closer and closer. This is well documented around the world. As they get closer, they'll switch from killing livestock to killing pets, eating garbage and petfood, and eventually challenging and attacking humans. Smaller humans are the simpler prey. Read about what happens in Russia every 30 years or so. The people are unarmed, so they don't kill wolves. Wolf packs eventually attack the humans and the government is called in to eradicate them and teach them to fear humans again. This cycle is nearing its end here in NE WA. Were they my children, they wouldn't go out without protection from these animals.

A few months ago a young female school teacher was jogging up in Canada that was attacked and killed by wolves.

Also somewhere in Easter washington a few months ago a female researcher was doing some research work and had to climb a tree to get away from the wolves there.

So realistically wolves are a threat to humans but the --- in Olympia dont care. They have their deer & elk devastation plan into play and no one will get in their way.

It is time to wake up and do the right thing when you see these unregulated predators in my personal oppinion.

My only thing is people are attacked by cougars, bears etc yet there isn't the same mindset? Are wolves a danger to kids or people in general, of course they are. I am just not quick to jump at the idea they are MORE dangerous than other predators.  :twocents:
