9.3,
I have consulted my library of classic material concerning the traditional methods of attracting wolves and the appropriate weapons for dispatching them.
The Russian author Sergei Prokofiev suggests that wolves like ducks (and small boys) very much. He doesn't elaborate much on killing the wolf, but thinks roping is is an acceptable method of immobilizing. Modern accounts suggest that a popgun is the weapon of choice but IMO may not be effective.
The well known Grimm brothers suggest that wolves simply cannot resist old ladies (which are apparently very easy to catch) but prefer to eat children as well and will go to great lengths to procure such a meal.
Other references to baiting wolves suggests that they are quite partial to sheep. The many accounts described by the authors Aesop and Goose make me believe that a sheep would be a splendid bait animal.
Maybe a small child leading a tethered sheep and duck would cover any unforseen issue regarding bait.
