    Carey Panthers' ewes mauled by wolves.......

      For some reason I thought of this SNL sketch after reading that.

        That reminds me. It has been a while since Levin dropped by to insult us.

          This reminds me of when the government of Kazakhstan took offense at Borat (imagine!). They thought Borat made fun of their country (they were correct) so they sought to repair the damage by sending out press packets touting their nation's many virtues. The lead brochure began with, "Kazakhstan is home to the world's largest population of wolves." Not even Borat was that funny or deprecating.

              I do not know John Peavey personally though I know several people that know him. Was a state legislator who happened to be fairly liberal. I never voted for him.

                  I was riding back to the pickup after packing salt to the cows, and took a shortcut through the timber, up a steep hill that pops out into a meadow. When we came over the hill and hit the meadow, we heard the most eery, unsettling sound I've ever heard in the back country. My BIL was with me, and we both looked at each other, wondering what it was. It sounded like a cross between a dog howling and a human screaming. We looked around, and across the meadow were three of the biggest damn things I've ever seen that don't eat grass. Two were grey like coyotes, and one was snow white. I didn't think to get a picture of the paw prints; I'll see if I can find them tomorrow. They stared for a minute, then trotted off - not afraid of us, but definitely not wanting to associate. I was glad they left, because I had my dogs with me, and didn't want to get them tangled up in the losing end of that fight. We haven't had any wolf kills in our cattle that I've seen, but bear hunting season starts next weekend, and I think the bear bait that people were able to put out this past weekend has drawn them in. When bear season starts, I always pack my handgun because there's bait everywhere, and I don't want to surprise a bear without having a way to defend myself. Apparently, bear aren't the only animals the bait attracts.

                    I was talking with my BIL earlier this month while we were in Jackson. He says they have a pack of 16 that frequents the ranch he manages just outside Cody. They have several documented losses due to wolves this year. He says they are on the lookout but aren't actively hunting them - too busy with other stuff.

                      Not to get off topic here, but the bolded area reminded me of a recent camping incident I had with my son and daughter.

                      In our most recent scouting trip we had with my sons troop was pretty eventful in the night. We had some inexperienced campers who were told not to leave food out due to raccoon and coyotes problems the night before. However, one young mother paid no attention to that warning and left a cooler full of eggs, bacon, syrup, strawberries, butter etc. out in the open in the middle of camp. Around 2 AM the coons had gotten the cooler open and feasted on all the food, which then lead to the coyotes coming in and feasting. The howling/crying was pretty intense due to how close they were in the camp. Luckily my kids didn't even budge in their stupor of sleep.. However, as I laid there pissed off by the stupidity of this woman (And thanking my lucky stars we do not have bears in this area), at that moment, I heard a rustle near my tent and a sniffing sound followed by a low growl directly near my head. I never knew I could move so fast out of my sleeping bag and onto my feet as I banged the tent and yelled to get them away from my tent. It was at that moment I heard what you described above. A mixture of howling and a human screaming in a way that sounded like I had two of them now startled and snapping at each other as they scurried away into the woods due to my actions..

                      I did not sleep the rest of the night.. That sound was like nothing I had ever heard before..
