Alaska is a dangerous place regardless of where you live. Anchorage had 7 resident brown bears in the city limits when I lived there in the mid-80's. People get stomped by moose every year. People just have to be very aware and take great precautions in their actions. While Alaska is intoxicating in its beauty, that very same feeleing from the intoxication can kill you very, very quickly.

Agreed, it was Buddy the snack food they wanted. In pulling the dog around by the leash they were showing the wolves they were willing to fight over the "food", when meeting wildlife don't pick a fight with it-leave the food and take care of yourself.
Mace, a Large gun, and possibly a road flare, for intimidation.
They should've had more sense.
I hadn't seen it that way. But if I drag a line with bait on it at sea they call it trolling. Works on the water. Why not on land. Trolling for wolves anyone?
20+ years of paddeling around in the middle of nowhere and this is the only wolf i ever saw..early evening across a small river and he was gone in a few seconds...
where do all these attacking wolves come from?? and why does photbucket fail to resize my photos???
