Wolves are canines and canines do not tolerate other canines in their territory. That includes other wolves, coyotes, and domesticated dogs. Even if there is a hunting season on them, their behavior towards other canines isn't going to change much. Its just how they operate. What might change is how they perceive a person without a dog.

Yes, but the hope is if they hear a hunter walking through the woods, talking to his dog, they will leave rather than lie in wait. Might even get people to give up the notion of being ultra quiet when bird hunting.

As for a dog roaming 100+ yards ahead, that's more of a numbers game. Need fewer wolves to reduce the risk in that case. Although, I would contend, if you are hunting an area with trails, then wolf hunters may use those trails too, and may push the wolves into other areas, thus reducing the chances of a dog encountering the wolves too.

We have them on canadian.rarely seen,but there.

We have coyotes in the 120 acres of woods behind our house. We hear them all the time. I have only seen 2 since we moved here in 2006, and that was a few miles away.

Same reason there "aren't " any in Kansas

Same in south Indiana. People been swearing they see them for years. One a very good friend. Finally, they came clean a few years ago when a guy caught one on a trail cam. Then just a couple years ago the first confirmed bear siting in like 100 years within 3 miles from my house. There's not what I would call a wilderness within 200 miles.

Regarding effective hunting strategies for wolves... I am guessing hunting from a stand, in the middle of the night, with night vision goggles might work. Especially if you could bait them. Walking to and from the stand in the dark might be exhilarating. But at least you could see them coming.

It'd be nice for you if there was a confirmed siting of giant flock of pheasants within 3 miles of your house! A buddy got relocated to Indiana for work. He drove around in the country looking for public hunting spots but didn't find any. He's hoping he can get transferred back to MN.
