Hello Larry, Reminds me of the Shark attack stores in Australia, they only had two or three. But what they don't mention is when they don't find the body it becomes a 'water disappearance' instead of a shark attack and there were over 500 'water disappearance' the year I'd read that report. I've seen the bite on two peoples leg/hand and the bites on the end of a wooden butt of a gun that Ole our neighbor managed to get between him and the wolf when he was being attacked. He was just getting out of his piper cub, wasn't even hunting when he was attacked. So even lone (hungry?) wolf can be an issue if your in the right place at the wrong time .
