And finally, can't pass up the famous Woody Burger at Woodman's Café in town. Triple the setter and Bert the young pointer got their ice cream pup cups next door.

Bruce, have they had any problems with the wolves and the bird dogs?

No, but there is wariness. Particularly when wolves have pups in the spring, there is increased risk. I carried a sidearm when I ran mine deep into the woods where wolves had been seen the previous night.

Nice, Bruce. That liver and white pup sure put me in mind of my (long gone) little girl, Dusty.

Bruce, I was hunting my female Betty( the one in my avatar), when she was in heat in a large cut we call the Big Wheel, in the UP. A pack of wolves were obviously attracted to her and were circling about and howling around us in the cut--I fired 2 shots in the air, and got a leash on her and got out of the cut. Have seen wolves numerous times in the UP, but no otherproblems with them. locally, my friend was running his 8 mo setter pup in his hay fields( I have a littermate,Fancy), the pup started yipping and 2 coyotes were chasing it--Mike emptied his 357 mag at them and scared them off

There is a report of a rabbit hunter training his pack of 10 beagles in the eastern end of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and the wolves got 9 of the 10

yes, that hunter was from Ohio. Personally , I would not hesitate to unload both barrels if necessary to save the life of one of my dogs---and I know you all would do the same. The old adge of Shoot/Shovel/Shut-up applies here
