Attacked and killed by wolves

Wow. That's crazy. Considering only about 25 people have died from wolf attacks over the past couple of decades, this is super-rare. Most attacks have been attributed to wolves infected by rabies.

I actually do not buy into that myth.

When we lived in Arctic, we heard many stories from the locals about being stalked and some attacked.

Just a couple years ago a very good buddy of mine and his son were stalked by a large pack. They ended the situation by shooting three of them - at 25 yards. This was in Northern BC.

Several documented cases of attacks up in northern SK around the same time as that one. Could look up Fred desjarlais where he put one in a headlock.
Those ones made the news cause they were mine sites. I’m sure the locals could speak of more close calls.

The green people promoted the tale that wolves never kill people. They may eat them after death but not kill. That has been proven to be bullshit. They do occasionally kill people .

They did it routinely all across Europe until the 19th century and were a significant problem in Russia well after that.
