Thanks, I'm a tenant farmer and need to have things look good.
The dairy farmer said it was solitary wolf. I hope it doesn't have a pack because if so then my girl is dead.
That explains a lot actually. It would be a rogue, a male that was sent packing so to speak from the pack. They are extremely dangerous because they cannot hunt in the pack's territory without risking being killed so they go after calves, chickens, rabbits, cats small dogs, whatever they can grab and run with to hide. The pack will hunt as a unit and would not waste their time a chicken or a calf that was in close proximity to humans. They are very private creatures....unlike their cousin the brazen coyote....most likely the wolves are watching you from a very close distance without ever being seen if it is a pack. They have avoid humans when at all possible.
These rogues happen when a young male decides he wants to be alpha and he makes a try for the position and gets his arse handed to him...same with a female though it is much rarer for a female to try. A rogue needs to be exterminated...they are a problem waiting to happen. Love your GP, she is gorgeous.
As far as hybrids go...they are naturally timid shy creatures...have owned them and loved them. They are much different than a dog and far less than wolf. There are good ones and bad ones. Most of that depends on the breed the wolf is mixed with and how it is raised.
Cetawin is definitely right.
I do hope you find a solution legally, even if it is a bullet. I am all for reintroduction, but a single problem wolf can unravel years of gaining the trust of people who raise livestock and accepting the idea of wolves. I wish the rogue would go after the deer, I know I have to drive 20mph on some parts of the 55mph backroad, because if I'm not, I'm likely to cream a deer even in broad daylight. They are all over the freaking place, dying in droves on the roads like they are suicidal. I keep a gun in my trunk just so when I hit one, if it isn't killed right away, I can humanely dispatch the animal.
