There are wolves throughout the northwest. Some were also introduced to Yellowstone 25 yrs ago. They have made a positive improvement on the environment by keeping the elk herds in balance. This in turn has really helped the aspen forests recover. They have also helped improve the health of the elk herds by weaning out the weak and sick. Diversity is important for a healthy ecosystem.
Around here we relocate them with a 30-30 round
She said that she rode a horse to school and carried a gun. She's my age, so this woule be late 1960s - early 1970s. Said she had her permit at a really young age.
I keep a pair of loaded high powered air rifles near the door/window, but they do have safeties on! Haven't had any ground predators, wolves or otherwise, just flying ones. I did see a porcupine walk by the house once, we scared each other when I opened the front door. My dog has been skunked twice, I hope to never see either of them again.
I've trapped and relocated 8 skunks here this year.had mamma bear and 2 little ones come by last night
Nope,I just walk up to the trap on the end where the door is closed,he cannot see you and I throw a blanket over the trap and good to go,pick the trap up and take them about 10 miles away.the tricky part is when you open the door and latch it open to get outta there fast.
Wolfs are pure breed bigger stronger and more aggressive
Or throw a tarp over it and don't worry about it. When I catch live rats from my garden I drown them. Dark, I know, but the most humane thing to do.
Different species of canids, and both can breed with domestic dogs. Wolves are pack animals and coyotes (usually) are not. As mentioned wolves are generally much heavier and larger. Coyotes rarely grow above 45 lbs, but wolves can reach over 180 lbs. Generally speaking coyotes are also scavengers while wolves are pack hunters. Contrary to an earlier comment coyotes are not cross bred dogs and wolves.
