That was a good grizzly bear hunt story...the original story teller new how the dogs think and explained it well...
I also read the wolf stories...everyone seems to write about how the wolves became extinct back in the 1940's and 1950's here in Texas...a kid in my hometown of Edna, TX, killed a gray wolf while deer hunting in Morales which is nothing more than a country store in the middle of nowhere west of Edna...lots of woods for many miles that connect and veer off in many directions in Morales...I lived about 5 miles north of Edna and back in 1968 or 69 I got in my dads truck early one cold morning, I was driving down a dirt road scanning the surroundings for deer when out to my left about 200 yards into a big pasture were 4 gray wolves... when I saw them they had already seen me and were running wide open towards the river bottom...I was able to get one shot off but missed...I have never seen a coyote run that fast or with the smooth running action that covers a lot of ground like these wolves were doing...I've written this story here in the past but everyone keeps telling me that they were probably coydogs...they looked exactly alike and looked pure to me...there were cows and calves close to the wolves so I suspect they were dining on a calf...it was pretty wild country back in those times...
Back in the early 1980's the Victoria Advocate newspaper wrote about the Victoria Zoo having a pack of red wolves...It took me a little while to get over there but when I did I was very disappointed...these wolves looked a lot like coyotes and they seemed to not be much bigger than a coyote...later I read that coyotes were breeding with the red wolf thus further endangering the red wolf as a species...
