Wolves bit up one of my old Girl-friends Arab horses in my pasture back in 2011. I called the cops and they got the Wyoming Game and Fish warden out there. He contacted Federal Fish and Game. They came out, but had already agreed that there were no wolves in this part of Wyoming. Boy were they wrong!
They tool plaster casts of the tracks (5" long 4" wide)and took hair samples from the barbed wire.
Guess what it was--------------
WOLVES!
They ate a big serving of crow and had some humble-pie for desert!

When it was confirmed that the attack was done by Timber Wolves they started to listen to some other land owners along the Wind River who have seen them and had attacks on stock animals. It was going on for over a year before the attack on my land, but my attack was the one that got them to actually look at the evidence.

Now we can shoot them on sight. That was a great change in the law. Before the Wolf was protected and the domestic animals and even the people were not.
