My next door neighbor (the good one, not the Ninnie to the North) used to play small college ball as an O-lineman. In the summer months, he'd lumberjack in Northern Minnesota to help with spending $$$. One day, he's out jogging in the woods and rounds a corner in the trail and encounters a timber wolf. They both "froze" and looked at each other, with the wolf trotting back into the forest and Nathan doing a 180 and heading back the way he came.I saw a Timberwolf walking down my road when I lived in Northern Minnesota.
My mind couldn’t understand what I was looking at as I was driving by it. It was enormous.
What stuck with him from that encounter was the SIZE of the animal. He said the rear leg hips were damn near waist high. That is a YUGE critter. Thanks, National Park Service, for importing the cot dam Canadian timber wolf to replace the somewhat normal sized domestic US wolves that we hunted to the point of extinction.
And now we've got Canadian super pigs to go with our super-sized Canadian timber wolves. Super. BOYCOTT MOLSON'S!
