Wolf Release 4

[@Dawnybros]

I'm in the UK and finding these Wolf release videos' educational. Thanks for posting. :)

[@walterroberts1535]

+Dawn Brosnan Thank you that is the intention of all of the videos and we appreciate your comment and views very much! Please feel free to share and subscribe! Thank you again!

[@walterroberts1535]

Katieboil Anegg Thank you and welcome to Wisconsin USA, through our videos! Thank you for watching and for your kind words.

[@walterroberts1535]

Thank you, we will be posting more this fall, very soon.

[@GetMeThere1]

Not all types of mange are contagious. The "sarcoptic" type of mange IS very contagious, but the more common "demodectic" mange generally isn't -- and when an animal has it, it's because they're unhealthy in some other way. I once rescued a very mangy dog from a park, and with a couple of months of good feeding he had an AMAZINGLY thick and beautiful coat -- and he didn't infect either of my two dobes. Nice to see the "stick through hoop" method working well!

[@mavali529]

GetMeThere1 when I saw the first release video I thought of it that they should use the stick through hoop lol and I know watched dit and it works much better then the last few

[@The-ii5mj]

I do agree & have seen it myself, the turnaround is amazing. Unfortunately though this isn't a pet. Again this is only my opinion.

[@Keys-zq1gw]

GetMeThere1, I read your comment on the other video...awesome idea with putting the stick through the loop. That went so much smoother and quicker for them.

[@usmchunter6219]

thanks for that did not know that.

[@usmchunter6219]

is there a way to tell?the difference.

[@equaliser9043]

I need to be at work early and I'm up watching wolf releases. Hmm

[@georgewilliams2444]

Equaliser 90 I have a university exam tomorrow! And I’m just sat here

[@walterroberts1535]

We appreciate it too, Lol! Thank you for watching and for the laugh!

[@DennisTeti]

🤣🤣 I’m doing the same thing right now

[@Dogsrule777]

You guys do really great work Walter! Props to you and your crew. Thanks!

[@walterroberts1535]

Thomas, thank you! We certainly appreciate your taking the time to watch our video!

[@pizzakungen92]

Its not uncommon for wolves to actually recover from mange, its often a death sentence for foxes and smaller animals but wolves have a really great immune system and reacts alot better to the parasites than other species and can often fight it off and regrow hair in the bald spots. Good on you for letting it go and letting nature have its course.

[@BearlyOutdoors]

Your four videos on how to use a catch pole and with long pole are invaluable. THANK YOU.

[@tnerbtnerb5136]

I see you guys took that commenter's advice about putting the bite stick through the loop of the catch pole. Looks like it worked out pretty damn well. Shame your first success with the technique got soured with the knowledge you were letting mange get back into a pack. Still, you guys are doing good work. Keep it up.

[@jessicasnaplesfl7474]

You guys are pretty good at these wolf releases. I"m IMPRESSED!

[@walterroberts1535]

Thank you Jessica for the kind words, we are glad you enjoy watching!

[@Stubb]

It would be nice if there was a quick and easy treatment you could administer to treat the mange before release.

[@beatrixjones2982]

So simple. Carry supplies with you like a dust bag . We use them for our cattle and I have one hanging lower on a game trail for the wild animals. Helps everyone

[@bradlee180]

Yeah, good technique with the two poles, bite stick through the loop of the catch pole. Miigwech for sharing.

[@susiearviso3032]

+bradlee180 Bite stick ... the proverbial "bullet".

[@ScourgeIsTheBest123]

bradlee180 Ha'hou..

[@Darkolop]

yea that was a suggestion made by a comment in one of their previous videos. it worked perfectly

[@globe2555]

It is totally out of line to release it and leave it, to spread sickness to other wolves, unless you want exactly that to happen.

[@ogrebattle22763]

That guy with the boots on who rang that wolf up made it look easy... LOL...

[@IDGAF-100]

What a beautifull animal. Perfect job guys!!!!

[@walterroberts1535]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words!

[@lilianamunoz1021]

so happy to see people doing good deeds for nature. I love wolves and admire them. so glad you guys do your best to help! keep it up!

[@walterroberts1535]

Thank you for watching Liliana and we share your feelings for all animals! We will always do our best to keep all populations healthy and happy, just a little easier once some people start accepting that our intervention is always going to be necessary to keep the animals healthy.

[@globe2555]

That's the same guy who released a mountain lion. He knows how to do the job, he doesn't need advice.

[@kaylei.m052]

Wow that one was the fastest wolf you've taken so far reform the wolf releases I've seen so far, wolves r my favorite animals btw

[@myonevoice1]

Who are these heroes? Oh my gosh! what beautiful hearts.

[@ckuehncnwhsyt]

Why did it take until the fourth wolf release to figure out it might work to put the decoy stick through the catch loop?

[@shunkajun]

When they get mange, are they able to help themselves get rid of it. If not, why let it loose if it such a danger to the rest of the pack? Not that I want the wolf to die but killing one now, might save a whole pack later , or am I mistaken? Not criticizing here, just curious. Thanks Men, and by the way , liked and subscribed.

[@life4destroy546]

hello from Russia. thx for videos about wolves! you do good job.

[@walterroberts1535]

+life4destroy Thank you and greetings from a citizen of the USA!

[@billjoe39]

these are hired killers, if that can be called a job.....not to most people

[@night7185]

End Wildlife Services'Needless Killing Of Wild Animals Panzy

[@charityville7562]

What "good job" he SET THE TRAPS. Trappers put their traps out of the way so the REAL humane people don't wreak or steal them. He's just letting the wolf go cause wolf season is over & poaching fines are a bitch to deal with.

[@Thisismyaccount82]

life4destroy I don’t why but when I was reading your comment it was in a Russian accent in my head. 😂 would russians catch and release wolves?

[@markrelph8988]

Again, well done lads. Isnt there a way they can be sheep dipped or something similar to clear the mange?

[@matti_lehtonen]

Wolf my favorite animal !! Well done!!

[@walterroberts1535]

Thank you Matti, we are glad you took the time to watch the video!

[@ghh1871]

2:41 keeping its eyes on the man staring at him,that is wild animal

[@walterroberts1535]

As wild as they get; Thank you for watching!

[@NicksAdventureDocumentary]

Awesome video !!

[@saringaclose]

nice to see u guys took that guys advice on the 3rd release

[@swampwhiteoak1]

You found a friend with a good catch pole and good strategy!

[@susiearviso3032]

They are so majestic and wonderful. Life is bittersweet; not just for humans, but for animals too. I feel bad about the mange. If life isn't already rough enough, they get that too. Sucks

[@walterroberts1535]

+Susie Arviso We certainly do NOT like to see any of the canines get the mange, but many do in these parts. Thank you for watching and for your contribution to the comments!

[@meun96rd]

Curious if a more humane thing to do with a wolf with mange is to dispatch it? Is that a controversial topic among hunters?

[@Hister303]

once again-- awesome!

[@walterroberts1535]

Thank you Plastic Tree!

[@rozyblurze5698]

IM A WOLF REALEASE TOO SO .YOUR THE BEST CATCHER EVER SO THAT'S WHY I KEEP WATCHING THIS UNTIL PART 4

[@walterroberts1535]

Thank you and please feel free to subscribe as we will have more coming this fall of the wolves. We will have some surprise animals as well, looking forward to the fall!

[@rosiewendysgirl4life320]

such educational to watch, i love watching about wolves, they are such beautiful animals.

[@walterroberts1535]

Thank you very much! your name is of very special meaning to me and you should be grateful to have such a great name Rosemary and thank you very much for watching and for your kind words~

[@RainingBullets]

Don't mind all the naysayers, most people don't even know of the situation you guys are in, and even then most who comment in such ways are normally overtaken by their emotions rather than their reason. From what I can see and hear from your videos you guys sound compassionate and sincere, not blood lusting hunters who poach for only personal gain. Still, it is sad to see the wolf in such condition(mange). Such handsome creature, what a shame.

[@walterroberts1535]

+RainingBullets Thank you, it is sad and we wish we could do what is necessary to assist when we can, but our hands are tied by our law makers. Thank you for watching and for your comments!

[@jackofall3381]

Law makers don't stop you from running to get the local vet to give the wolf a shot to knock her out, treat her mange and release her. You could have, and you should have.

[@achubbysquirrel4661]

Ummmm and who is expected to pay the exorbitant fee to the vet? You?

[@housewiferevolution4750]

Jack of all, get it through your head , you can't cure mange with one injection . It takes months. Good for you for caring , but these guys care very much also. And they are the people doing something instead of posting criticism on you tube.

[@guyvg5495]

your guy's have some real guts and brave clear minds, thanks in the name of the wolf's

[@maxlarsen]

This make me so happy!

[@harmoni4499]

I always thought the mange can treatable. Can vet can treat the wolf? By the way great job saving wolf. 😞

[@miketurley8272]

That was a excellent catch and save Exellent

[@walterroberts1535]

Great to hear from a viewer and we appreciate your time viewing our videos; Thank you Mike Turley!

[@macc9945]

2019 A little late to recommend, even so, a Great Job, Thank You So Much!!!!

[@walterroberts1535]

Always eager to hear recommendations and comments related to our videos; never too late to voice them! Thank you for watching!

[@benshalev878]

i didn't understand, what is the point in traps when the wolfs get caught in it?

[@jimnowak3960]

I like your catch pole that't the best made. Same one I use.

[@walterroberts1535]

Just lost one this season, grrrrr. They seem to have changed their design and quality, but we will try one more to see if it was just a fluke!

[@michaelk8554]

Great job guys from Stamford, Connecticut. Was wondering though, why can't you guys just hit him with a light sedative so you can just get in there and release him quicker, also when he starts coming out of the sedation, you can watch from a distance????

[@johnathanreitsma2491]

Do you currently see lots of wolves in your area still Walter?

[@anthonyranzie4630]

I love wolves

[@randomcoyote8807]

I know mange attacks domesticated dogs & cats, too; especially those that are out in the street-- I can't help but wonder if there is a way to deliver medication via dart. It would be good for overall health & hygiene for canids across the spectrum. Still have to deal with the overpopulation though...

[@JESUSisLORD24151]

You guys do great work and I love to see wolves back in the wild. Is there no way you guys can care for the wolves before you release them? It seems that not treating the animal from the disease would do more harm than good.

[@scoobysienna]

i feel so sorry for that wolf..wish your goverment would do more to protect them,and also allow you lads to give treatment if needed,but you do a great job...from uk

[@ryangeorgi5159]

Walter I thought of a good method. What if you 1. slide the loop of the catch pole up the stick then 2. let the wolf bite on the very point of the stick. 3. slide the loop down the stick and around the head.

[@Ndrangheta18]

Grandes hombres un ejemplo para la humanidad, sigan adelante los animales no merecen sufrir así

[@CarlosLopez-dt7yr]

Totalmente de acuerdo amigo!

[@schnobi5182]

So if the wolve gets back to his mates, he will spred the deseas? I dont understand why you let him go if he will kill other wolves with that. Thankful to see the wolve gets away with his live but did the illnis spred? Sry for my English.

[@walterroberts1535]

It is out of our hands, most all laws in this country regarding wildlife are made by people with little to no interaction with wildlife. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

[@natesh999]

If you are saying that killing that wolf is illegal, I understand ... But you did not have to save her and let he spread the disease.

[@markkamp8838]

Me to

[@tylertwinem7213]

wat part of wi u in i hunt by crivitz

[@nyteshayde1197]

Late reply, but I can answer this as a biologist. Nature must take its course. The disease won't kill them all. A lot of them, but not all. Mange and other parasitic and blood borne diseases inflict packs and herds with higher than normal populations. It's the great equalizer. It doesn't allow the wolf pack to get so large that they kill all of the wildlife that keeps the trees and meadows clear, and it doesn't allow the herds of deer (et al) to grow so large that they run out of food and starve. Humans are not the great savior of species. We must allow life and death to cycle as it normally would. You can't save them all, nor should you.

[@Gonzo3780]

Yup...This boys days are numbered...

[@bakedveal2624]

+Heith Gagnon He carries, so I'm sure he'd be alright in the end. He doesn't want to kill them obviously. But come that situation, I believe he will prevail

[@undead4084]

Its a she.

[@jamiefitzgrade7960]

Is their anything you can do about the mange

[@walterroberts1535]

Unfortunately not, we are not biologist, veterinarians, or DNR; we are simply trappers who follow the laws and release them when they incidentally step into our traps. Good question and thank you for watching!

[@dannygarden464]

I left a comment on another video about the release, why don't you use a plywood or any kind of sheild ? Faster and less stress to the animal and people, I been using this for years now and it's so easy, you only have to free the animal, plus it's a good protection if it want to turn arround, mine is about 3X3 with 2 handles so I can use any hand.

[@mgvolts1140]

Who set these traps up?

[@LouisManofMusic]

Serious question: why do you capture if you are going to release? In the video you say you capture to “control population” but if ur not killing them then how are you controlling the pop? Does the foot trap have mange diseases tainted on it? lol I just want to learn. Thanks Mr. Roberts!

[@nancyrose8028]

Is there not a wildlife group with a vet who could treat?

[@midwesty2222]

Looks like you guys learned from the first few! Put the loop around the stick first!

[@betterworld1]

so they want the mange to spread to the other wolves?

[@lilysalyer9665]

Confused... if it’s contagious and ultimately leads to a slow painful death... why is she being released!?

[@walterroberts1535]

Lily, that is a great question and it is because of the laws of the State and Federal Government, neither of which work in common sense nor understanding of the world outside of most of their offices! It is a shame and just one of many, many, ridiculous laws we must follow as sportsman and citizens. Thank you for watching and for your question!

[@vivawarrior8397]

So why did the wolf get set free with a slow and painful contagious disease?

[@joanjarrette1726]

Love wolfs...dam mange..lot of animals now with mange.. moose..deer.. bear..wolfs...coyitees. ..dogs. Only cats don't seem to get the mange for some reason.

[@Soylimobile]

Hello from Germany... WOW :) Very Nice

[@krispy8021]

Can they not be treated for the mange since your trapping them anyway would that be possible? I'm just wondering? I know it's a dog it's a long process so I'm pretty sure the answer is no but I'm just hoping

[@joycehendry3595]

why didnt the mange get treated before release ?

[@corbinhardy7294]

you gotta let nature do her thang, mange is mother natures population control.

[@Coopdeville0624]

Smooth clean release actually one of the fastest ive seen.

[@leonbenli2024]

Walter question for you. If the wolf has mange and it could spread to the pack why not just shoot it? Don't want to sound unsympathetic just wondering why. Good job ,actually amazing job thanks

[@michaelrogers7581]

If that was 2015 season I am wondering what the 2016 season will bring, nice job on all of the release's, is the state looking into allowing you guy's to start trapping the wolf's, or are they turning their heads???

[@walterroberts1535]

Great question and it looks like there is a chance we are going to get an opportunity to get a few harvest tags if everything goes well. We will keep you posted, thank you for watching and all of your insight! Nice to have civilized and informative conversationalists on this channel! Thanks again!

[@MrJimbo4840]

why did they not give it drops on the skin to treat it like you would to dogs ?

[@awlach8]

Are wolves out of season? I'm curious why you didn't put the animal down if the mange is that bad.

[@walterroberts1535]

+Adam Whitlach We are not allowed to dispatch any wolf at any time regardless of the situation, that is a Federal decision and the state has no say in the decision. It is a shame and something we hope to see changed in the future. Thanks you for watching and for your question!

[@SubsNoVideos-oj1kr]

Great job guys

[@mcav3270]

So SAD...……...hope for his 'release', yet, his future is doubtful due to Mange and not healthy, sad story, yet....will be free from trap to go and do as he would care to do when dying. Glad for help!!!

[@moneyyy504]

What’s the point of catching them if your gonna release them?

[@unforgiven8464]

another good release,my respect. this 2 guys did it a bit different as you did it in the first 2 Video Releases,it's more calm and focused what you did i think.this was more a rush and seems a bit more aggrassive the guy on that pole thing. I know,this are not chickens,so it must be maybe a bit rude or hard if they try to defend against the rescue.

[@walterroberts1535]

This wolf is sick and the time spent anywhere near it made for a chance to get mites on our clothes.

[@benquinney2]

Do they eat cheese?

[@KaySan666]

Thank you for releasing this Wolf, even though she had mange. It always breaks my heard to read comments like "should have shot the wolf. or shot more than one" simply because some hunters, farmers, disagree with the wolf returning. It boggles my mind that people can not live in harmony with nature without immediately going "nope we have to kill it" once their own property gets a visit by these animals. regarding the mange. how does it cross over from one pack to another and infect others? or does the infection just stay within this one pack? i only know mange cases with neglected dogs so the connection to mange and "over population" isn't something i can understand...mainly because wolfs aren't really overpopulated (contrary to humans with their 7.8 billion people) i could imagine that a prey of theirs is infected and as they're hunting and killing it, it spreads the infection to them.

[@DMTrojan]

+KaySan666 IT's even odder because being a good hunter/predator/trapper is all about only killing what you need to live and keep the ecosystem balanced. The sorry thing is up here in Wisconsin and Canada things are a bit buggered out of balance after the overhunting of caribou and culling of a lot of wolves (who the overhunting had been blamed on) a few decades ago. Things still ain't balanced out yet.

[@t5sur1]

in a pristine environment, yeah. however pristine environments have not been seen since the ice age.

[@Coopdeville0624]

Where at in northern Wisconsin? I live in ironwood

[@NoLoVeLoStNoLoVfOuNd]

So you guys are not able to cure her, like give her a tranquilizer, take her to the vet get her fixed I’m not being a smart ass I’m just wondering is there no way to take care of that disease she has or if it’s even a disease, since you guys are going through all this I figure you may as well try that, idk someone explain please

[@walterroberts1535]

Joey Unfortunately there are no cooperative programs established to allow for treatment of wild animals for a natural condition such as mange. This is a mite which causes hair loss and is attributed to over population of certain canines, kind of nature's way of culling the herd. Great question and thank you for that!

[@TheXaimaca]

I would like to observe that the wolf does not normally pose a danger to people, since it carefully avoids us.The massacres in the flocks are caused by hybrids and they can be a danger to us. And the hybrids are the consequence of our unhealthy behaviors. Therefore, we all must protect and defend the purity of that wonderful animal that is the wolf. Greetings

[@Corrupt5358]

Isn't there a way to get rid of it's mange, like get a vet to put it to sleep obviously first, and an injection. Then wait for her to wake up THEN release her?

[@walterroberts1535]

+Sir To You There are many things that could be done to help keep our animals healthy, but it is illegal to have a live animal in a vehicle or to transport even a dead animal without proper licenses or permits. Getting a veterinarian into the field would be very costly and because it is a wild animal there would be a great deal of red tape to go through just to allow for any treatment. In a few words; it is just not practical nor would it be very popular as we would get ridiculed by some for even touching the animal even if it means to save its life, kind of like the posts you see on here, lol! Thank you for watching and for your question!

[@Corrupt5358]

You have a point there, i just feel sorry for the wolf.

[@tylertwinem7213]

wat part of wi u in i hunt by crivitz

[@hannahgolden1362]

Whether it spreads depends on the type of mange. Demodectic (which is common among domestic dogs and blooms due to lowered immune system) and sarcoptic (which, in another name, is scabies and can be contracted by humans, cats, and all manner of animals). Sarcoptic mange prefers areas with less hair - ears, belly, elbows. Demodectic mange is far more common and does not spread from animal to animal, and appears on larger parts of the body - back, shoulders, head. Odds are, this wolf is young and unhealthy. She looks fairly thin in the video. If it's suspected to be highly contagious sarcoptic mange, perhaps a Game Warden, or Parks and Wildlife ought to be contacted.

[@REAL4wd]

Let the nature take ya course, Save the wolves, and wolves will keep coyotes in check.

[@jhenninger]

Wolves in wisconsin have exploded they're wiping out deer populations and coyotes are being pushed out to other areas, the management sucks around here, once they enable a good hunting season the balance should stay closer to where it needs to be

[@SheikhAzmat-i2g]

Bravo, nice work an uphill task. Cheers to bros from Multan Pakistan.

[@JabberCT]

They should make some exceptions to hunting/trapping laws in cases like this. That one wolf could wipe out an entire pack.

[@justinle6743]

How do you do that and that is a amazing job

[@walterroberts1535]

WE do not get paid to do any of this at all, actually costs us a considerable sum of money each time we need to go and do this. We would like to see a job and pay for this work, but most things that are done to help wildlife is not paid; however, most things that mess up our wildlife is paid well and they even have titles for the jobs, lol! Thank you for watching!

[@TR-vl2nb]

Beuatiful animal

[@duanebrower7896]

Thanks for sharing. I believe being able to release a nontarget animal, unharmed, is much more important than how to make a set or which bait to use. Respect for wildlife should be the most important part of being a sportsman.

[@zepherzepher1228]

Any complaints, send money for vet care, and medical bills for farmers, children and livestock!
