Have you guys experienced wolves after your pets?
I had two incidents this year, likely with the same pack of wolves lightly howling around my tent in the middle of the night. The first time we were sleeping in my teepee and I woke up to my golden retriever barking a couple hundred yards away. I rolled out of the tent in my underwear with my 870 and ran over calling him, which he came back right away. Shortly after that the wolves started a few light howls and then started doing that howl where they were talking to other wolves a ways away. After that I drove tent peg in the ground in the middle of my tent and tied his leash to it while we sleep.
The second time was last week. We were setup on this tiny peninsula with about 75 yards of water to the bank on one side and maybe 150 yards of water to shore on the other. I woke up in the middle of the night to this light howl on the close shoreline. I looked at the dog who’s eyes were wide open staring at me, but he didn’t move an inch so I checked on the kids and went back to sleep. Then I woke up right at first light and the wolf was doing the same thing on the other shore.
Im thinking they were trying to get him out of the tent so they could eat him. On the second trip we were following some fresh wolf track close to camp and the dog started going bananas right around the spot the wold tracks stopped. This is a dog who doesn’t bark, so I think he’s figured out they’re not his friends.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
