Came across a wolf while deer hunting

old thread, eh?
The wolf howl is absolutely bone chilling to hear up close, those who heard it will agree.
The story has it my grand-grand-grand-father shot a wolf waiting for a women to come out of a privy (Europe).
Bill Prenneke has an interesting moment in his video talking about losing respect for wolves for killing more than they can eat.
Let the tree huggers romanticize all they want, wolves are dangerous, especially when not hunted.

We hunt in WMU 49, about 30 minutes from Algonquin. There are wolves captured on our trail cameras every year but nobody has ever seen them during the day. As cool as they are, I don't want them running around killing the deer so we always carry a wolf/coyote tag just in case.

They aren’t protected in WMU 49 but I’m fairly sure they are the Algonquin wolves. A local trapper calls them Red Wolves.

In our township which is one township east of the ban we have the so called Algonquin wolves. Nothing special just eastern greys. Have also had the odd pack of timber wolves move through.

Know as Algonquin wolves in WMU 48 and they are protected and you cannot hunt them. Although I have read about DNA tests that shows they are just ordinary gray wolves.
