Being a Yooper I can tell you it makes me a bit nervous that they are having a significant come back in the U.P. and being spotted with more regularity than ever before. Talked to a friend of mine last week that was baiting his brother in laws bait pile for bear and would notice a bit of meat gone each time he came back. So he started to circle on out from the pile until he hit a deer trail and found a significant number of cat tracks to and from the pile.
He said no more baiting for him.
Wolves and bears don't bother me the same way a big cat does. They like to stalk their prey. The bears and wolves are something I run into on occasion in the woods and have always taken off in the other direction as soon as they noticed me.
