Wolves at the Cabin!

  • A pack of wolves gather and howl at the end of the meadow in front of the cabin, probably lured by the smell of deer meat and the hide I'll be tanning. They stay for at least an hour before going silent. Tomorrow, I'll leave Cali in the cabin and investigate to see what they're up to.

      I hear this every night here in Massachusetts, the coy wolves sound like they are having a grand ole party. They have multiplied here as of late. And they are relentless hunters and will not give up on an opportunity to eat. It's unfortunate that they seem to have figured out where people's small pets live. Small dogs and cats have fallen victim to this pack many times. They run right down the streets at 2 am looking for their next meal.

      Having a female dog guarantees more reliable and balanced behaviour than a male dog. The only risk is that some male wolves will be attracted by the scent of her secretions when she goes into heat and then it is good to keep her locked up.

    • @Spinonemaster
      @Spinonemaster Год назад

      I'm sure they smelled Cali ... but more likely they are simply drawn in by the smell of Deer meat/hide ... and vocalizing to each other as they check out the area ... Wolves are curious, but wary of adult humans (especially ones with rifles) ... they will keep a safe distance from the cabin unless they are starving

Wolf packs didn’t want anything to do with her. She was beautiful!Note: people should never “own” wolves.

    What a wonderful sound. Only time I have been very close to howling wolves was an over night camp out at a rescue center.
    Their howls hit you right in the chest and reverberate right through you. Sound like they were proclaiming their territory in your area. When I lived on the old Federal land west of Brougham, Ontario we saw wolves. Largest one was a huge black wolf that crossed Highway 7, fifty feet in front of my car. Just me and the wolf on the road. He easily topped 100lbs and his back was higher than the hood of my Datsun. I came to a complete stop just marveling at his sheer beauty.
    We had had smaller wolves in the Cannington, Ontario area (North Durham Region) more like the size you have. Still thrilling to see them.

    Such an eerie but awesome sound. I live near the outskirts of a small city in South Eastern Ont., and every year in late fall I’ve been lucky enough to hear a pack of what I think are coyotes or hybrids, moving about a mile south of me where there’s more woods and fields. It’s more of a higher pitched yelping of several of them. It gets the neighbourhood dogs going but it doesn’t last more than a couple of minutes. It raises the hair on the back of my neck but I really enjoy that I get to hear them.
    Same thing happens with great horned owls. At least once a year, I’m in the right place at the right time. There’s always 2 calling to each other near my yard. Fabulous.

      @@TheREALLibertyOrDeath Wolves along a river bank where deer would regularly graze is impacted as the soil becomes more firmer as the vegetation is not being eaten by the deer,it makes river bank erosion slow down causing the river to meander less and allows the river to get deeper in parts and small pools to form.
      Also wolves will prevent certain animals grazing in an area whilst they inhabit that area which causes the vegetation to prosper which can result in an increased biodiversity by giving food and shelter to a wider range of plants and animals.
      That’s just a few examples,Yellowstone reintroduced wolves in the 90’s and they’ve made an impact on biodiversity there.

      I agree, I live not far from Shawn and there are mostly coyote packs and few wolves. You need to go much further north in Ontario to find wolf packs. He is only 4 hours north of Toronto.

      Not true. I’ll see if I can find the map that shows the wolf/coyote genetic distribution in Ontario. There are pockets of almost pure Algonquin wolf, including here, where there are very few coyotes. Wolf range extends down to the Severn River but the further south you go from the far north, the smaller the wolf. I’ve also never heard of coyotes hunting moose successfully and their scat consistently contains moose hair so it seems unlikely that they’re scavenging moose killed by other causes

It's a different kind of life, but we do love it! But all our children are here 😔🤷🏼‍♀️ I dunno, maybe that won't have the power in the long run to stop us from moving there.

    Had a Cali too. For 15 wonderful years. (Border collie) and she used to think the coyotes wanted to play (upon viewing from the inside of the house). We live at the edge of a 200 acre preserve. Our Cali was like 40lbs. We got Cali her own body guard. Burn is a shepherd and tops out at 85lbs. He’s an excellent companion but he’s always keeps that 25% of his brainpower in guard-duty mode. Shepherd have it seems like an inner radar about things. Love to see you get your Cali a personal body guard❤. Dogs foremost are pack animals. Even our not shy cattle dog Kora after a few years is now happy to defer and let Burn take the lead.

    Wow, glad Cali stays close to you when wolves are about. Two against a pack is not even odds at all. Usually the largest wolf is the beta but not always. Each of the wolves has their place, and they follow the alpha, so hope the alpha doesn't have eyes on Cali or you. I think Cali hasn't forgotten when she had that seizure, and you were there for her and cared for her. She has only barked a couple of times on videos, that I remember. Glad she stays close to you, and you are prepared. Praying for you and your family.

    According to recent genomic research, eastern wolves, previously considered a subspecies of gray wolf, Canis lupus lycaon, actually represent a separate species (Canis lycaon). Algonquin wolves, also referred to as Eastern wolves, are classified as a “threatened” species. The wolves are found only in a handful of places, including Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada. The Eastern wolf has disappeared from almost all of southern Ontario, largely as a result of loss of habitat through forest clearance and farmland development. Hybridization could also be a potential long-term threat to the genetic integrity of Eastern Wolf populations. Less than 500 Eastern wolves remain in the wild; most Eastern wolves live in central Ontario and western Quebec, and with the highest population densities found in Algonquin Provincial Park.
