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.

Exactly

 

[Andycap]

Absolutely crazy. I have a friend who lost a bear hound to wolves a few years back, when he got to the dog’s body he had a heck of a time getting the wolves to leave the area.

I heard/read that the wolves in Europe had a significant impact on both sides in WW1.

I can’t remember the specifics but it would line up with that you mentioned.

It’s sad that some of the people still refuse to admit it was the wolves that killed him. Also crazy how cautious they were about preserving the site, if it’s my buddy I’m grabbing some guns and lights and getting his body out of there asap, not letting them continue to eat him

A girl was killed in 2010 by wolves in AK, a forest service worker was treed by wolves in WA in 2018, Alaska also has about 2300 people go missing every year, how many of them are killed by wolves or bears? I've been in the middle of a pack of wolves in the frank church back in 2015 and they had zero fear of humans, especially in the dark, we were shining mag lights at them at under 100 yards and about 8-10 of them were pacing back and forth in the timber howling and barking at us. I have audio of them but didn't have a phone with video at the time.

As wolves get more and more prevalent, we will see more attacks, just like lions and grizzly bears, wolves in much of the west are becoming a major problem. We just saw a big black wolf yesterday here in Eastern Oregon that has been helping to decimate our deer herd over the last few months and there was a video posted of a pack walking down someones driveway a couple miles from my house. Our neighbors have them on trail cams in town, same with lions and bears, it's only a matter of time before someone gets killed again.

A couple of years ago our next-door neighbor that is a teacher, came home on an early release day from school to a lion in the tree above her kids trampoline in their front yard. She went inside and got a rifle and killed it, its just lucky that it was an early release day or here two kids that were in kindergarten and third grade would have been walking home alone from the bus stop.
