Elk,
I had this discussion with a freind several years ago,my family and his family have gone back generations here in Montana back to the mid 1800's.

And like he said,"There was a reason why they killed them all"

They are preators,and opptiunistic at that,when a easy meal is provided then thats what they eat.I don't care if this pack was used to humans,or garbage.They showed a threat,so get rid of them.I belive where this guy was killed there was a simalr attack a few years ago,dose anyone remender the rig worker who was walking to his barracks when he was attacked?He defended him self with a stick,and when the wolf attacked he put it in a bear hug,and held on till help arrived.I'm pretty shure this was the same village.
