Wolves On My Property!

Quote:
I didnt read the entire thread before I answered your question so I apologize if it was answered. Wolves have been spotted by reliable sources here in Colorado but they were NOT introduced here. The speculation is that the wolves moving in here are migrating here and are decendants of the Yellowstone group.This is info I got from a client who works for fish and game

Could be that or from the group in the south west.

zazouse,

The information out there is both sparse and old, wolves do not confine themselves to a small area. We have had them (wolves) roam through parts of this state which has a very large area suitable for them.

In addition to that there have been instances where other than fish and wildlife departments have taken it upon themselves to do a bit of "population manipulation" on their own.

Not to start an argument or create a lot of debate but your photo looks a lot like what we have in NYS that is called an Eastern coyote--same size, head and body shape. There is an ongoing debate amongst naturalist whether the Eastern coyote is, in fact, a red wolf or whether what is call the red wolf is a cross between the gray/timber wolf and western coyote.

Oh yeah, I've seen a red wolf out at the nature preserve on the Outer Banks at Nags Head.
 
i just wanted to comment no single LGD can handle real wolves the dogs bred now are too soft dogs bred for wolf protection 100 years ago were much much more aggressive but have been watered down to live in a more closed society


kengals are the best wolf dog as a detterant but not the ones bred here the ones bred in europe still being used as wolf protection


and wolves are not as aggressive as coyotes sure a few people have been attacked but white tail deer have attacked and killed way more people than wolves, usually wolves are more shy than coyotes i would not worry about them much unless u have sheep
 
I had coyotes pick away at my flock, the last time they came, they wiped out all of my birds, (momma coyote teaching her pups to hunt). After the chickens were all gone the coyotes came back and took 3 of my cats and my 8 yr old wire fox terrier. My other cats learned NOT to go outside anymore, EVER!!!..........they'd always gone in and out as they pleased.

After talking with a number of folks around here, who are raising chickens, goats, sheep, and cattle......... great pyrenees are the answer!!! Perhaps in California, as animals1981 reports, specially in Sacramento, LGD no longer do the job they were bred for................but here in the sticks of central Texas people raise pyrs to work and earn their keep!! My 3 prys came from working goat farms and I haven't had a coyote come on my place since getting my pyrs.

People who depend on LGDs know they should have at least 2 or more to protect their place. ONE dog will never do well trying to take on a pack of coyotes/wolves.

My chickens are well protected now by my 3 great pyrenees, Sophie, Mr. Biggles and Dinah and my 2 surviving cats can now go in and out of the house as they please..........T.C. and Leonardo know it's safe to go out now.

The coyotes are still around, we hear them some nights, but my LGDs send out their BIG/DEEP barks and patrol the fence lines........we all sleep better now that the dogs are on duty. They are my farm security team.

How about a couple strands of electric fence? 1 along the top and 1 on the outside about 8" from the ground. That way they would get a jolt if they try to go over the top or sniff around the bottom looking for a place to get in. You can get a solar 1 if electric is not close enough.
