The DNR has reintroduced wolves and rattlesnakes in the area that have decimated the deer population. I live in Central Wisconsin. A Wolf has eaten up a neighbor farmer’s calf and ate all the barn cats. A forester was chainsawing wood and a wolf came 10 ft to him. A pack of Wolves were seen crossing the bridge at the end of the driveway and I saw a huge timberwolf also, that is bigger than my Newfoundland dog.
Needless to say, now I am scared to go out trail riding by myself for this and other safety reasons. My husband is going to get me a pistol for Christmas, that I can carry with me on trail rides…but I was wondering if anyone heard of wolves attacking a horse or group of horses…
I have been trail riding with a friend where we see wolf tracks and bear tracks, but honestly, the 4 wheelers are more dangerous.
