That s the biggest one I ve ever heard of. The snow was 3 feet deep and the wolf s belly never touched the snow . . . They used used to lay on the sand-rut road in front of his house and barely move for a car. We used to get a kick out of their howling, especially when one pack would answer the other. As soon as the people move in too close, then the timber wolves are gone.
Today there s a word in the north that wolves are moving back into Wisconsin.
Endangered Species Laws, which make it a crime to posses or kill a timber wolf. These are actually the worst offenders. Such a timber wolf is often bold enough to scavenge local dumps and garbage cans. This carries a high scare value for which all wolves are blamed and persecuted. An alternative, if we give it a chance, is to let the wolves be, to resume their native place in Wisconsin s larger wild areas.
