manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Just ready for bed and our siberian goes nuts on the bed. Take her out, the malumtes are going nuts too, begging to be let off. So 130 am and I can hear at least 4 wolves, i think? They can be deceptive. Dogs are off on the chase. Sitting on the deck on a clear but cool night listening... Interesting stuff(at least to me) Sounds to me our 3 huskies are taking them out, yet again. Hopefully no war wounds and they return safe God I love these dogs?
manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 They can be proud of the kill too Might have some dead wolves in the yard by tomorrow
manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 Battle is over.... I trust my dogs are eating well?
outllaw Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 you will lose good dogs. I cant see doing that at all.,plus vet bills.
fish_fishburn Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Uhh, very irresponsible as a pet owner. Your dogs are pets aren't they. A rifle would be better for the wolves if they are threatening you or your family. And don't bother educating me about Huskies or Malamutes as I have owned these breeds most of my life. Just my 2 cents.
leaf4 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Lol what's the update any wounds/ wolf carcasses?
Craigson Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Can u really just let ur dogs eat/kill wild animals?? Gotta b illegal no?

porkpie Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 you will lose good dogs. I cant see doing that at all.,plus vet bills. Me neither.
Rod Caster Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Brushwolf of timberwolf? Big difference. 3 huskies vs. 4 timberwolves = 3 dead huskies or no dead wolves.
lew Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Sorry Rick but I have to agree with the others on this one. No way could I ever imagine purposely letting my dogs loose knowing their gonna tangle with a pack of wolves. Maybe their tough dogs and can handle themselves but I hate to think what can happen if the wolves get the upper hand.
LostAnotherOne Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 I know myself that some of the posts I created weren't home runs and were a little stupid. There's a few jerks on this site, but Manitoubass2 isn't one of them. Lets give him a break on this one guys.
Old Ironmaker Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Sorry Rick but my money is on a Wolf vs. a Dog any day. So what happened last night Rick? I hope they are A OK. Edited September 10, 2015 by Old Ironmaker
manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 Dogs are perfectly fine? Brush wolves RC And you might not understand, but my dogs protect our property. Im not just letting them chase animals all over the bush for sport. I have kids to protect on this property, and if my dogs dont chase them off or pick one off they stick around and eat everyones pets(we are in the bush) Even my dogs would easily be killed if chained up. My dogs are smart. They pick one outta the pack and make an example, the rest move on. No signs of wounds or anything this am. I dont even think they fought? The wolves must have been on the other side of the river and they just had a shouting match
BillM Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Good news, I don't like the thought of the pups getting hurt.
manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 I guess there is a abit of a shift in attitudes in the NW ontario bush lol. Im not the only one with dogs guarding property. In fact its perfectly normal here so sorry if I offended anyone. Im not michael vick lol My dogs have a job to do and they do it very well?
manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 OI I dont think youve ever seen wolves in action. Ive posted numerous times on here about my dogs or my kids grandparents elk hounds taking out wolves, skunks, coyotes and even a badger. The wolves encroach here because a few idiots leave their dogs chained up, and another idiot leaves snares in the bush for rabits and doesnt check them. Wolves are opportunistic hunters When it comes to my dogs they go right at one and make a point. The wolves arent fighters, they just wanna eat. So they get the point and move along. Its not like two rival gangs meeting in an alley lol
2 tone z71 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 My rotties are protective too but there's no way I'm letting them loose on any wild game ...I've got rifles to get rid that
Rod Caster Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Ya, brush wolves would more often than not be scared off by a few big huskies. Don't let them mess with the timbers!! Huskies are awesome dogs. My Siberian did a fantastic job watching over out property until the timbers got him.
Beavertail Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Ok, now your posts make more sense to me! Didn't realize you were talking about Brush wolves (aka Coyotes) Didn't believe for a second that your dogs were taking out true Wolves (aka Gray/Timber).
manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 We call em brush wolves but they are not coyotes. They are pure black and grey and abit bigger then a coyote, but MUCH smaller then a timber wolf. And i will not shoot 4 or 5 wolves i have no use for, thats against my cultural beliefs.
manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 Honestly i think many of the wolves here are intermixed with dogs. Scary looking things but only about 60 lbs or so
manitoubass2 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Posted September 10, 2015 I guess coyotes are brush wolves and ive got it all wrong. Funny cause there is a noticeable size difference and colour difference but maybe what ive though were wolves really are coyotes??? Here is an image i took off google of what the animals look like
Brettiop Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 I was curious so i did some googling, in your area there is alot of hybrids from what i can tell.. This is likely the type of dog your talking about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes_boreal_wolf
