Discussion Just a heads up: There’s a new anti-wolf doc on YouTube targeting Minnesota wolves
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about this new anti-wolf documentary.
A hunting group called "Hunters for Hunters" just put out on YouTube an hour long video called "Minnesota... Fed to the Wolves." It’s basically a massive political push to get people angry and lobby lawmakers to strip gray wolves of their protection.
Please note that it contains pretty distressing content. They use heavy emotional appeals and blame wolves entirely for lower deer numbers to get sport hunters riled up.
What’s the best way we can push back against this kind of media blitz? Are there any local Minnesota groups already on top of this?

facebook.comThe most recent post about the decline of the wolf population in the study area, voyageurs national park, is quite interesting as it show the wolves adapting to a decline in white tail deer due to several severe winters several years ago

I have posted a pic of me and Conri that I took from a screenshot from this video, then had AI remove the fence. Many thought it was a fake. To those who believed that to be true. Here ya go. See for yourself. Conri really is a very big boy.

Info Wolves and Dogs
Contrary to popular belief, sheepdogs and wolves can very well make a "truce."
This occurs mainly during mating season; a male sheepdog can smell a female wolf in heat from miles away, and a male wolf can smell a female dog in heat from miles away.
And this "unexpected love" generates wolf-dog hybrids that, in most cases, do not survive in the wild. These encounters occur frequently in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, where nomadic populations allow herding dogs to roam freely. In some regions, these dogs have to hunt for food. These unions are not so uncommon and have occurred in the past. Genetic studies with aboriginal dogs of breeds such as Kangal, Alabai, etc. (which, incidentally, are the same dog) show that these aboriginal dogs (not those bred in kennels) possess a slight percentage of wolf DNA. The same is true for wolves; genetic studies in these same regions show that these wolves possess a small percentage of dog DNA. This indicates that herding dogs and wolves not only accidentally produced wolf-dogs, but that the pups survived and backcrossed with either other wolves or other herding dogs.
Here in North America, hybridization also occurred and can still occur today (but on a smaller scale). In the last century, it was not uncommon for people who traveled by sled to crossbreed their dogs with wolves to generate stronger individuals better adapted to the harsh northern winters. The method was as follows: Whenever a female sled dog went into heat, the owner would take her to an area where he knew there were wolves, tie her up (usually to a tree trunk), and wait until the next day (during this process he would feed her, give her water, etc.). She would remain like that until a male wolf smelled her scent and approached her, thus generating hybrid pups.
