12-17-24  WOLF SITING

The top two pictures were submitted by Al and Jeanette Forness.  Al wrote, "We had it on the ice for 2 hours.  Wolves are usually timid and hide from humans.  After 2 hours Jeanette went out on the deck and called to it.  It turned toward us, took a couple of steps, then ran to Diamond Point and disappeared."

​

Dianne Klump piped in: "Anyone who was here yesterday know we had a visitor around 10 am running shoreline to shoreline, up the middle, down the middle, very strange behavior.  I contacted the DNR who just got word to the appropriate USDA folks.  Today Jerome Irish just called me.  He agreed that it was strange behavior.  Should anyone see a wolf behaving strangely or too close to their house or pets, contact him.  Nice, knowledgeable guy.  (800) 228-1368."

​

Al mentioned "A friend of mine reminded me that this is the wolf mating time, which might account for the strange behavior."
