how do you guys defend yourself against wolfs? gun, pepperspray, Taser gun.

The wolfs were definitely weren't shy of humans in this situation. This isn't isolated incident. There were other attacks too.

Ruger GP100 .357 magnum loaded with Buffalo Bore 180 grain flat nose gas checked ammo.

[how do you guys defend yourself against wolfs? gun, pepperspray, Taser gun.]

PRIMARY: Rem 870 AOW 10.5"barrel, 12 ga - With 4 - 000BUCK.
BACKUP: Glock 10 mm, with 180JHP.

A couple of mawashi, mae, yoko, and ushiro geris on the muzzles accompanied by energic kiais while stepping back until you reach your vehicle.

There were warnings posted about the wolves in the area. Best defense would be not to go there. Common sense isn't. 2nd defense (if you're stupid enough to ignore the warnings) would be pepper spray. Last defense, Mossberg 590 with buck shot.

Sounds like another case of civilized people expecting mother nature to conform to their expectations, rather than conforming to mother nature. The first time I went to work in Alaska, the people I worked with who were from the area wouldn’t have dreamed of going out of town more than a few hundred yards without a gun & knife.

First , I'm always packin a 357 where/when it's legal . But that being said , If it was me in that situation , I would have shot a wolf only as an absolute last resort . A warning shot probably would be enough to scare them off and even doing that would not be the first thing I did . The women obviously didn't need a firearm . I think it's a good thing they did'nt have a firearm because IMO they were idiots . In their state of mind they probably would have just wounded one of them and made things worse or shot each other . They were running/jogging in a place that was known to have problems with with wolves . They were turning there backs on the wolves until they finally figured out that was a bad thing to do . Was that the only place they could go jogging ?
This type of story really bugs me . I could type out a very long rant about the stupid way a lot of people react about wildlife they encounter , wolves , coyotes , bears , wild turkeys [yes there was a local women who freaked out about a couple of turkeys in her yard ] , possums , racoons etc. . But I'll just say this - If you are afraid or can't deal with the wildlife you might encounter , DON'T GO THERE !!! Go live in the city !
There are too few places [and getting fewer] that wildlife , like wolves , have space to live . Give them their space and leave them alone .

Same as from two legged critters when at home: 20ga. w/ 000 buck. Away from home is a 22 until I can afford to upgrade to a 9mm.

I wish they would post some public jogging areas in Idaho. It is damn hard to find a quality trail like that!

When we were in Alaska a couple of years ago, outside of the "cities," it was rare to see a local who was not armed with at least a .44 mag.

As for jogging with the wolfs, I don't jog...
