I would love to, but haven't had the privilidge or opportunity yet. I find wolves to be a magnificent and underappreciated species. Unfortunately, not everyone shares my opinion...especially farmers whose sheep or cattle were selected as prey. However, I don't know when hunters lost their connection with the wolf. It was man's original hunting partner, and the ancient ancestor of the domestic dog breeds we love and cherish today.

I actually did a human behavior project in college where I would sit in areas of high pedestrian traffic for an hour without a dog, then sit in the same spot for an hour with a dog. The results were amazing! Without a dog, very few people would approach or talk with me. But with a dog, not only did people approach and talk with me...but about 95% of the people who appoached and talked with me were women! Most of the other 5% were guys that I knew and came over to find out what I was up to.

So what does that have to do with wolves? Well, thousands of years ago, wolves could have been used to track animals, recover animals, assist in killing animals, warn people of intruders, ward off intruders, and about dozen other beneficial jobs. Not only that, but if a man could collect enough food to feed himself and a pet wolf, then he may be able to provide for a family better. In a time when food and safety were the currency to survive, the wolf provided both, thus increasing the attractiveness of the owner to women on a subconsious level. Women would likely seek a male with a wolf 10,000 years ago for the same reason that they seek men with money now...it helps to ensure their own survival, and the survival of their children. What this study made evident is that women still have a desire to be with a man who has a dog, even though the common form of currency has changed. Again, a man who can provide for himself and a dog, may be able to provide for a family.

So what's the lesson to be learned? If you're single and you can afford it, get a dog and you'll increase your attractiveness to women. If nothing else, having a dog is good icebreaker for meeting girls who also have or love dogs. Also, if you met your spouse while walking your dog, take some time to thank a wolf...they are where it all began. :-)

I know squat about wolves and I'm to old to be trying to attract women; regrettably. I do believe however that wolves will some day be an issue nation wide. They are strong survivors and their numbers will continue to grow even as the powers that be try to keep them in check. They travel in packs and eat a lot of meat. They certainly can be a deterrent to large and healthy herds of particular species.

As long as emotion and politics are left out of game management, I believe that wolves and man can co-exist well, but if wolves are out of bounds to professional management, I think that we may be facing a serious problem. That being said I would love to be able to see a huge wolf.

i saw 1 three years ago on the side of the road coming to a road kill deer, not a coyote this was a lot bigger and black he didnt hang around long but long enough to get my spotlight up. it was kind of erie to walk alone in the woods near my house after that. I live about 15 miles from where 3 bear dogs where confirmed to be killed by wolves... near goodman park in marinette county

I grew up and hunt in Northern WI. I might have seen one while I was bear hunting a few years ago while I was driving down a logging road. It was early in the moring and saw a flash of movement in front of me. Really did not think to much about it until I stop my truck to bait the bait pile when I heard howling from the direction it ran to. Needless to say we did not drop the hounds in that area that day. My ole' man has seen a few on his poperpty.

Anyways where abouts in WI were you?

I used to live in northern wisconsin myself i would walk out my front door and see a few wolfs here and there i was suprised to hear it wasnt very afraid of you, whenever i came within a 100 yards they would split in a hurry
