I have a Phoenix in BL for sale. Not a good dog boat. Message me if interested.

Maybe there’s a difference in Rocky Mountain wolves and these in the Midwest, where they have to coexist with humans. Out west, I rarely saw more than one wolf at a time. My encounter with a pack was new for me. Seems most reports in the Great Lakes states involve packs. I wonder if they...

I’m a lifelong wilderness buff. From New Mexico, Arizona, Minnesota, Florida, Wyoming, Wisconsin, there’s a wide variation in what is considered “wilderness.” Furthermore, designated wilderness areas are more crowded, more surrounded by development, more impacted by human activity. With...

Great report! What a blessing to have a fellow dog canoeing partner. Hope you have more adventures to report.

Naw, they will likely be 100 miles away by January. I’m good with a noisemaker just in case, and if they don’t split, I’m free to attempt to extricate my dog. If I feel personally threatened in the process, then things change. Bogan doesn’t have good feet for snow, and I don’t take him when...

According to the law, shooting a wolf in defense of a pet is prohibited, subject to prosecution. A wolf must be threatening human life to be shot legally. So, if your dog is being torn to pieces in front of you, your firearm is a noise maker only.

I’d fill the gaps, sand smooth and call it good. Nice canoe. Please post a photo of the soloized version.

Scott’s: Who’s afraid? I haven’t said anything about black bears. Maybe you’re an intermittent visitor and didn’t read my post about walking into a pack of wolves last week with 3 dogs, or the one about a wolf attack on an armed group of youngsters in another county. I snowshoe that same area...

I have a scoped bolt action.22 that will hit a flea between the eyes at 25 yards. Maybe that’s the ticket for hiking. A lot of weight for snowshoeing, when I rarely take my dog. If he does come along, he mostly stays in my backtrail. With a backpack and the heavy clothes, a handgun seems...

That looks perfect, except it doesn’t come in a short barrel length. That probably wouldn’t matter much though. Not too pricey either.

I have one similar to that for a small 9mm I rarely use. I’m not sure the retention would be adequate. I was really thinking of something with a flap.

Martin Litton, Jacque Cousteau, Edward Abbey, Richard Atonborough and others, all lamented on the inevitable encroachment humanity and our fascination with monetizing resources. Wolves will be a growing “problem” until they are eventually removed to make way for people. While we talk about...

It’s dawned on me that my concealed carry holsters will not suffice for winter snowshoeing in wolf country. Does anyone have a suggestion. I’ll be wearing an anorak, so some type of covered shoulder holster with generous adjustment would be my first thought. I’ll be carrying a 3.5” bbl 1911...

Wolves hunt in packs, right? Not sure there’s a breed that can stand up to a pack alone.

Some Florida family with hurricane fatigue (Helene) came to the cabin for some R&R. Unfortunately, water levels on the Totogatic are poor due to drought, and then there’s the blue green algae thing in that flowage. So we drove a short distance to Trego, paddled a stretch of the Namekagon that...

I used it for campsite reviews. I found it was not up to date for conditions and closures in WCPP. The landings need to be emphasized more in their ratings. A 5 star without a beach for bathing, a good landing area, is not a 5 star. It’s useful, but I’m not a subscriber and it’s not my only...

I’ve gone through a few PFDs. My current one has a flat back to accommodate my backrest. I’m not in love with the zipper location, nor how my PLB fits on the shoulder strap. It does the trick I suppose, although I’ve never dumped in the middle of a windy lake in it.

I spoke to the DNR supervisor said pet predations are high in our area lately. Those animals looked very well fed.

This morning, wife and I were hiking a regular loop through the state wild area here in Wisconsin. I saw a flash ahead near our dogs. Figured they’d jumped a deer. Then I turned a bend and a large male wolf was facing me on the trail. He took off towards the brambles when I saw more flashes...
