A 19-year-old Wisconsin duck hunter shot and killed a gray wolf at point-blank range on Sept. 21 while hunting on public land in Oneida County, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Chase Melton, who was with two other teenagers at the time, has told reporters he had no choice but to pull the trigger. Melton said their duck blind was being surrounded by the pack of wolves, and when a wolf got within about 10 yards of him, he shot it with his 12-gauge and killed it. More
Look out, it’s coming straight at us.
“a load of non-toxic shot”
I don’t think so…
Did they continue hunting?
I would have. I mean, it’s opening day!
Went for a morning walk way too early no sunlight yet.
Two coyotes ,dad and son,mom and daughter ?
They completely ignored me and i was 20 feet from them looked like they were on a mission.
Scared the shit out of me though.
What’s scary about this story is that the game people are treating this as a major investigation to make sure the wolf was shot due to self-defense. 10 yards between him and a grey wolf — apparently hunting in a pack — it’s obvious the wolf was coming in for supper. What’s to investigate?!
When I was hunting bear in Northern Idaho, I was told by my guide that if I saw a wolf to kill it. They hate those things up there with a burning passion.
