WOLF: Target of opportunity?

| February 6, 2015 8:00 PM

I believe the man who shot the wolf is trying to cover his rump with a lie. First, a rifle with a scope is for hunting, not self or dog protection. Second, I don’t believe a lone wolf would attack three labs. Third, a shot in front of the wolf would have scared it off but no attempt was made to do so.

I believe he saw a target of opportunity and took it. He probably had visions of that wolf pelt and head on his living room floor. He should be fined at the least.
