baw 4,360 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 They weren't going to roam free either, he was going to fence off the land. Huge chunk of land mind you, prime hunting land too. Imagine poaching in there eh lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 http://www.lutontoday.co.uk/news/local/looking-back-on-wolf-drama-as-zoo-says-it-s-secure-1-5712582 not sure its entirely accurate (got your dads name wrong for a start!) but i'm sure the paper would do you a copy of this sandy if you contact them? i've been on google this morning, and apparently six wolves escaped from their pen at whipsnade in 1980 and although they didnt get out of the zoo they killed a lot of deer within the grounds. as far as i can make out they were all recaptured.

sandymere 8,263 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Perhaps a little easier these days with dart guns, especially if ther're still in the perimeter fences but there’s always a risk with captive animals with a reduced fear of humans, although I expect they don’t go in with em these days though.

sandymere 8,263 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Errr have you seen the size difference between a grey squirrel and a wolf? Have you been bitten by a squirrel? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ocset 91 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm bowhunting a black bear this year. It's a trophy hunt. I make no apologies for that. It's my first bear so I won't be worried too much if it doesn't qualify for Pope and Young. In Manitoba, as long as I have paid for my bear tag, I can shoot timber wolfs and coyotes for free. Which I will do, given the opportunity. It'll be a guided hunt, although I won't have a guide with a gun with me. ALL guided hunts in Africa, regardless of your weapon and quarry, with have a PH with a back up weapon alongside you. Bows are an effective hunting tool. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have mate, I was wearing work gloves at the time, it didn't matter lol. What I meant was, easier for grey squirrels to disappear and breed than wolves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Any more wolf stories sandy? Aye, I want to know how they discovered it missing, the panic, who all knew it was missing, how long was it missing, how was your dad feeling, was he a huntsman, did he track it or was it luck. Was the wolf fleeing from them, how many were hunting it, was he a hero for shooting it, was he frightened..... You know, just a wee bit of background mate lol. The guys a hero in my book Certainly not a hero like you two 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't suppose it's any different than fishing for salmon and putting it on a wall. It's just different. It would be exciting but I think I'd prefer to shoot them with a lens.

I've now singlehandedly wiped them out by using the techniques on that video combined with a rubber hose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
