The rationale behind not running your dogs where wolves are known to be is so assinine, they ought to be put in a pen with them. What next, don't walk or hunt where wolves are know to live? Practice the 3's boys. Shoot,shovel and shut up. http://texashoghunter.com/images/images/forum/emoticons/whistle.gif

I know yotes are not the same but on several bays I have gotton there to see the yotes helping the other dogs during the bay. I always kill the hog and leave it for the yotes. They do not fight or hurt my dogs. I think good training would solve this problem. Teach them dogs to stay away from wolve dens and they probably will be OK and if not they better be fast runners

I never thought that wolves killing hunting dogs happened that often, wow. I know northern MN when the winters are harsh, wolves would come into town and snatch afew pets. We can't use dogs for hunting (only birds) but we are on the front line against wolves up here! Kalispell made news with a protest out front of Fish&Wildlife that the wolves should be more regulated. I heard, and my numbers might be wrong but a single wolf in it life time eats like 700 dear. That definetly impacts hunting, wolves can demolish a heard in no time. So I like the three S's as txbhunter1 stated, it's not illegal if you don't get caught!!!! The last sentence was the whole reason I started rambling!!!

They are almost as bad as the cats. Cats eat 1 deer a week along with elk,so the wolves arenot far behind them. Only good wolf is a dead one.

Thats why we have so many hogs. I never saw hogs before the farmers and ranchers in our area killed off all the wolves. 1996 was the last time I have heard of a wolf in my area. In 1988 I saw pick up after pick up of dead and dieing wolves from local farmers and ranchers. They had no mercy and I do understand somewhat but it just goes to show what goes around comes around. I am glad we have the pigs now.

Ihave sen only 3 of the Tx Red wolves since Ihave lived here in this state. Iwatched them from a stand of mine one time hunting in the river bottom. It was kind of cool to watch, but........................Inever saw any deer that day either. Have never seen them again.
