OH there not tales....in 100,000 miles on a sled you see many many things and have many experiences....plus taking 15 guys on a tour all the time expounds on that too......and that one wasn't even epic.....hitting the railroad switch at 70 and then BARREL ROLLING A SLED like a jet plane....now that was something....only knocked my helmet off and cut my leg....LOL...I got many more.....LOL....and witnesses to back em all up too...LMAO
out west...retrieving a sled off a 1000 foot drop off above a river in 20 feet of snow....really really risky....took 3 of us to try to ride it out....hours packing down a runway for the sled in deep snow at aboot 10,000 feet too...dats another....LOL

Oh ye dogs, you brought a picnic basket??? See what you did?
That looks pretty "Grimm" to me!
(You buy 'em books and buy 'em books, and all they do is eat the covers!)
I couldn't agree more....I have had a dog killed by a car, but never have had a wolf attack here at my house. Even as a kid (I'm 43 now) we'd spend all day in the bush on bicycles, then dirt bikes, and then sleds, never saw a wolf, never had ticks, and rarely saw bears. we'd regularly see bears near thimbleberry patches when we were "in da bush" they'd leave and we'd shy away from them usually. It's just changed over the last 35+ years that I've spent in the Keweenaw woods....as you said, to each their own. of course I never really saw eagles back then either....now they are spotted regularly soaring above the fields out here. Anyway, I think I have cabin fever.........

One sighted today 4 pm trail 15, 5 miles from trail 2....couldn't help but think about this topic. ..lol
The wolf is only in areas where they are managed coyotes are everywhere thruout the USA. Your average 60 lb dog can chase off any coyote small dogs maybe not but the wolf can take down any dog just not competitive.
I agree WD. But have seen a few pretty large dogs chewed up badly by a coyote. In witch neither won the fight, and coyote went on. What I meant to say was the fact coyotes are just naturally willing to take a lot more chances than the wolf will from what I have witnessed. In the wild, or were ever coyotes will push the chances.
Which one was
the "witch"?

I can give youse guys a good solid tip though...when walking home after a sled breakdown.....all night once....8 hours......you walk with yer helmet and gear on....cause if sometin comes afta ya....it will go for the head and neck first....and it will have hard time doing this and might give you some time to strangle the thing......LOL....just a tip
MAN< I love how so many folks get worried about such LOW odds encounters and yet, most folks drive a car/truck almost daily, which, if you like FACTS< is the most dangerous thing you will do
as its, last I knew a FACT everyone will be in a vehicle crash at least ONCE in there life
the odds of a WOLF attack is pretty darn RARE
yes there predators, as are all dangerous animals that lurk the woods and forest where they live
BUT a FACT< we humans STINK to all wildlife that has a NOSE
I have spent time in remote drop camps in Alaska, where bigger things than wolfs roam, been in many places where MT lions roam, bears, Moose(a MUCH higher odds of being attached by one of these than a BEAR, WOLF or MT Lion too by the way)
and what I learn, is, to use common sense and go in with some honest INFO, and go prepared
if you worry about wolves, carry something you can use to SAVE your butt, if your worried, and KNOW how to use it
be it pepper spray or a side arm?
if you have pets and live or take them where they can be seen as part of a food chain or, a threat to a wolf/bear.lion, coyote??? or??
that again is YOUR responsibility of being a responsible pet owner, to see there safe
I'd be willing to bet more folks fall thru weak ice every yr, than get attacked by wolves ? and who is calling DCNR about weak ice to complain
LOGIC< is what keeps you safe on ICE< if its THIN< stay off?
if there are wolves THICK is spots, go into them area's prepared
OR stay out of them places there animals, trying to live, its US humans that enter THERE world, 99% of the time and NOT the other way!
I live rural, have bears in my yard all the time, Coyotes and most critters that live in my state to be honest
I accept the CHANCE of a BAD encounter to live here, and appreciate all the GREAT encounters I have had to date
IF something ever happened, I wouldn;'t BLAME the animal, I moved THERE, and I took the responsibility, of KNOWING where I was moving to!

Just pretty much common sense. Yep!!!
In the sepulchral voice of Lurch, of the "Addams Family" (TV Series, 1964-1966): "You rang?"
Were you referring to:
Okay, technically either a pack of wolves, or when in movement, a (rout or route) of wolves.
Other than that, I think folks will generally not be bothered by wolves, unless, you bring a picnic basket as (click →) Tracker claims to have done. (Really? a picnic basket?!)
