Big Bad Wolves

[Cariboo5]

Getting towards the end of the season and went out for deer, no deer and very little sign, lots of wolf sign as a pack moved through.
The tracks indicate they are good sized wolves.......

Wow...that's a big canine.

Do they issue you a wolf tag along with the one for deer?

 

[Cariboo5]

They are Dizzy.......... Here "No" tags needed for Wolves as they are open all year round with "No" bag limit....
Later depending on road conditions and weather we are planning to do some predator chasing using calls..

The attached that shows wolves & coyotes hunting here is from the regulations ..

Where do you live that it is open season on wolves?

The wolves put havoc on the Moose especially here in central British Columbia. There has been a general all year open season with no bag limits on wolves for many years.

I can imagine wolves are rough on wildlife. Funny though, wolves and all the ungulates lived together for thousands of years world wide. Wolves are a top predator but the animals all survived and multiplied. Man comes along and is a top predator as well, man decided to eliminate the wolves. It hasn't always been for the best however. It seems like most of the time man gets involved with an ecosystem they tend to damage it, not improve it. I'm not a tree hugger but have just observed how we have damaged nature far more than we have ever helped it.

Without wolves, our entire ecosystem would change for the worse.

Right, and they keep losing protections in the USA. I’m sentimental to them which makes me biased, but a wolf saved my life when I was a toddler. That’s how I got this goofy nickname.

That's a big dog, or a very small mitt.

The population is increasing in BC.

They are majestic creatures. Fearless, strong, and loyal. I read once that wolves are the only animal that can be found on every continent.

That's really not that many considering that vast amount of land.

Yes they are majestic, and I love talking to someone who has encountered their first wolf. They are usually shocked at their size and agility.

I visited a shop in Branson Mo once called Alaska Down South. They had 3 wolf skins mounted as rugs with the face and teeth done. All 3 were different colors. They wanted $900 ea. I wanted one but my wife held me back. They were sure impressive and huge.

15 yrs ago we were driving out west about this time of the year.
In NW Ontario we saw this big Wolf, just sitting on the high snowbank.
Just staring at us slowly going by him.
No fear what so ever.

I had that happen with a mountain lion once. It was sitting on top of a big round bale of hay, just watching the cars go by.
