Guess I got lucky also! This Bow season around the first week in Nov, I was walking out of the woods and I heard something walking in the corn field next to me. I stopped, it stopped. I walk a little more hearing it againand stop, and it stopped.I was closeto the field edge by this time and was a little freaked out, so I decided to turn andface what ever this was.This thing ran up to me and stopped about 10 yards out into the field. Itwas dark out and all I could make out was a large dark object. I had an arrowknocked and drew back while talking toit. about 30 seconds went by and it exhailedloudly, turned and trotted off.Later my girl friend was coming home and said she saw a wolfrun accross the road right in front ofher. Then I put it together, the wolf which was tracking me would have crossed the field between Me and the road at about the same time she was coming home. I started carring my pistol with me for the rest of Bow Season. This happend in central Wisconsin and there have been two farmers complaining to the DNR about dead Calves and wolf sightings on their property. Why bring in wolves DNR?

Glad to hear that everyone ended up safe. That's a scary story really especially with the kids involved.

dont want to hijack the thread, but MM, the DNR was unsuccessful at reintroducing wolves, and i'd bet that 95%+ of the wolves in the state now naturally migrated over here from MN packs. So dont blame the DNR, blame MN.

If there wasn't pictures there would be no way I would believe that story. Up here in Canada there is not one recorded wolf killing of a human (checked before I posted). Having wolves go after dogs is not unusually. I've decades of experience tromping around the big woods (have logged over 30,000 km paddling the Canadian north) and countless stories of some very close encounters with wolf packs. I have never experienced a lone wolf or pack being in any way agressive (curious yes).This would cause me to think that there was something very wrong with this situation. First it is rare that 2 wolves travel together with out a pack. One yes but not 2. Second, that the 2nd wolf cannabolized the first so quickly.For some reason they must have been starving (lack of traditional prey). I wonder if at one time they were domesticated and then released. Very strange story and a first for me. I'm glad that no one was hurt.

I think you need to check again. Pretty sure some nut job tried to hang out with some recently and was killed by them.

Anyone who wants to can find plenty of accounts of wolf attacks. That line often tooted about there being no recorded attacks is BS.

How hard did you check. Took me a second.

"A story reached my desk yesterday about the death of Kenton Carnegie, 22, a geology student. Carnegie was attacked and killed by wolves while hiking in remote Northern Saskatchewan. Carnegie is the first human known to have been killed by healthy, wild wolves in North America..."

Don't know what or why this claim is made. I've read plenty of local history where this line is proven false. This guy who died obviously bought into the lie and it cost him.

Not me baby. Dog shows me his teeth I don't need to know anymore. Even if I did buy into the lie I wouldn't want to be the first like this nut ball.

RE: Wolf Attack
 

Do a little more research next time dreamer. This story about the Geology studentwas in Outdoor Life just a few months ago.

RE: Wolf Attack
 

Seems like I remember a couple of years ago the TVdocumentary about the release ofwolves into Yellowstone to get them re-established, and how elated the "environmentalists" were over it. Now what I see on TV is the wolves killing elk inside and outside Yellowstone as they have spread to neighboring states.

RE: Wolf Attack
 

Believe it or not.. But idaho is begining to endure many wolf related problems! Hopefully a hunting season will be available soon! Until then our only help are thing like "Aldicarb" a pesticide with an attitude! Shoot straight!

RE: Wolf Attack
 

Ok so I was wrong. I was off by one. Just read that story and as you also quoted, "Carnegie is the first human known to have been killed by healthy, wild wolves in North America....". My point exactly. In the history of North America, say 300-400 years of recorded history...only one???? In order for those wolves to have attacked there must be something wrong with them. You hear lots of stories but where is the evidence. No wait nodog, don't go into the woods....there may be a black panther. (just kidding. I was just wondering if anyone saw a black panther in the woods this past hunting season and thought that comment just might start the posting again).

RE: Wolf Attack
 

And that is why dog is a man's best friend. Great job, Shadow!!!

RE: Wolf Attack
 

what an amazing story!!! they all would have been hurt if it wasn't for Shadow.. Steak dinners for a month? More like, for LIFE !! for that save!

RE: Wolf Attack
 

I wonder if he shot those wolves with his 10/22. Hard for me to imagine that getting the job done. I'm in WI, packin all the time....

RE: Wolf Attack
 

Thats a cool story and they are lucky they didnt get hurt. Im surprised that the 10/22 did it too but he didnt mention any other rifles.
