WOLF in town!!!!!!!

It was seen by several people, reportedly just wandering around. Word is that they chased it out of Hannigan Meadows earlier this week, where it attacked two Schnauzers. No report on how the dogs are doing by now, only that it didn't kill them.

We have heard the dogs having fits the last couple of nights, but nothing to be seen out of the ordinary. Maybe they were smelling it? I don't know, but I'm thinking it might not be too bad an idea to turn the calves out during the day, and keep them up at night. Of course, since the wolf was seen in town during the day, it might not make any difference. Sure don't want Wheezy and Bandita to be some dadburn wolf's supper......

Just got this from our County Wolf Guy:

Subject: Wolf#806 on mainstreet, luna N.M.

Hi all, I responded to a complaint of a wolf sighting (at 0910) in the
center of Luna today. I took statements from two of the eye witnesses,
there
were five people who saw it and probably more that drove by. Wolf
#806 showed up on the north side of US 180, just east of the gas
station, it
then walked across the road south in between the houses, then went
southeast
towards the bridge by Phil Swapps house, then it turned back traveling
south
of US 180 below all the houses, then crossed US180 again and went up
over
the mountain. I went with USFWS John Oakleaf to track and locate the
wolf,
it went into Dillman creek..northwest of Luna. A hunter on Dillman
creek saw
the wolf. There was a wolf pup, about six months old (about 30 pounds)
with
wolf #806, but now it appears it is no longer with #806, its location
is
unknown.
When I arrived, I talked to one of the USFWS volunteers, she told me
she had
been monitoring wolf #806, also someone else monitored this wolf a day
or so
before just north of Luna. One of the locale people in Luna told me "If
the
USFWS knew this wolf was in Luna, around the homes, why didn't they
tell the
residents, why did they fail to warn us". Also who could we complain
to. I
told them, I don't know why they did not let people know and for them
to
contact our congressional representatives, they are the only ones that
can
do anything about these problems. The USFWS will be monitoring the
location
of wolf #806 to try to keep it out of Luna by hazing. Wolf #806 is part
of
the Meridian pack that was released in Arizona. The Meridian female was
shot
by a bow hunter in Arizona, one of the pups died also, it is suspect
that
the second Meridian pup (that was with #806) is also deceased. All you
Luna
folks please call your neighbors and let them know #806 is in the Luna
Area,
watch your children, keep your pets up and watch your cattle and farm
animals..............Jess

Bull Puckey- Just think what could be done with all the USFWS wages and costs of tracking, hazing, and babysitting if they were put to a good cause- like finding a cure for cancer or other diseases...

Shoot the wolf and make all those biologists actually do meaningful work to earn a living....

I'm with you, OldTimer..................what a waste of everything! They should have realized long ago, that there was a reason they were almost extinct........... :roll:
