wolf sighting

[@lyt_w8t]

This is seriously underviewed, give it a few years and it will blow up in everyones recommendations.

Something happened over night though the last two weeks. Lots of views

[@Wild906]

They are really beautiful creatures, wish they werent hated by so many people. Great video, he wasnt camera shy at all.

[@theguymaxqc]

they are nice far away not close to your kid

[@Wild906]

@@theguymaxqc Obviously you wouldnt want your kids near wild wolves, although more people are attacked and killed by domestic dogs every year. Wolves are also only responsible for 2 human fatalities in North America in more than 100 years. The threat from wolves may be exaggerated.

You should go checkout white water wolfdogs he has been training wolfdogs ( high contents and lows), and German Shepherds.

[@adamfriedland4373]

I don’t think anyone hates them. They just don’t want them near their kids, animals, etc. I’ve never heard of anybody saying they “hate” wolves.

[@alexdromero13]

not "hated". Feared. A pack of wolves is a scary thing

[@tonydit6097]

I like the way he poses for the camera fully stretching both the front and back of his body and then standing broadside majestically looking off into the distance

[@dougsmith2658]

I don't hate them. However if your living depends on the survival of livestock. I understand it. Yes the government reimburses. But it can take yrs. And they rarely pay the actual value

[@ifindidiots1239]

​@@dougsmith2658 I love seeing morons write this same nonsense they have read from anti-wolf people. Your first example makes no sense and there are a number of reasons what you´re saying is false ie "if your living depends on the survival of livestock." = 1) Wolves are extremely important in keeping ecosystems healthy. They help keep deer and elk populations in check (and if you do not know why this is important, you should not be speaking on this topic), and also benefits many other plant and animal species. The carcasses of wolves prey also help to provide food for other wildlife species. 2) The biggest reason your arguement is weak is for reasons 2+3. Wolves kill 0.04 percent of livestock and are responsible for just 0.89 percent of unwanted losses. That means wolves kill under 4000 livestock per year out of almost 9 million livestock... 3) On the other hand, coyotes kill 118000 livestock per year....... Yet wolves are accused of being livestock killers, and that is the reason for killing them, yet coyotes are the bigger issue and that reason is seldom used to kill them.....Fact is you say stupid things because you read articles and watched videos of hunters, and the reason you say what you are saying is a man is much more proud to hold up a fairy tale big bad wolf that he killed than a skimpy coward coyote. Furthermore, wolves are great to kill for hunters because that means hunters have more elk and deer they can shoot on their own....... Killing wolves is not to protect farmers, not even a little bit. It is all about protecting hunters so they have more animals to kill.

That just goes to show you how wolves in the lower 48 are scared to death and shy away from humans because they were nearly hunted to extinction but in Europe Canada and Alaska they just don't care or are curious Am I right?

[@MrChancebandit]

No the wolves up here are also very skiddish. That was the closest I have ever got too a wolf. I'm sure if I was acting all crazy and making him feel uncomfortable he would have been spooked .

[@jcmartinez1990]

Naw, they hunt Wolves in Cañada like crazy. I fuckin hate it

[@ASR-Ansori]

Their populations are recovering in other parts of Europe such as Spain but some people still hunt them here due to surplus killing, and because many old and ignorant farmers and shepherds still carry the outdated idea that wolves are evil.

[@MrChancebandit]

You know and I know there were more ....right up the road from here I hike quite a bit and have heard numerous wolf howls . Eerie when your alone .lol

[@brianpeekeekoot600]

If by some chance you're out walking and they approach you?? Just stand your ground and talk to them, if they keep coming? Stand firm while talking to them then hold out your hand so they can come smell you. It will be a nervous interaction, stay calm and you will be okay 👍. Trust me it happened to me

[@MrChancebandit]

@@brianpeekeekoot600 that's amazing. Thanks for the tip ...I'm sure I would treat them like any other dog. And being I'm great with dogs I can sense when something is wrong and know how too calm an animal . So yes I agree nerve racking but would be amazing
