Wolf Pack

There were a number of wolf sittings around the city of Iqaluit over the past couple of years. I spoke to a cab driver this weekend who saw a pack of three wolves roaming within the city limits. Many people now take arms with them, even for short walks on the tundra. One man I met had a Ruger Mini 14 in 223, and his wife had a 30-30 lever gun.

I know the tree huggers/granola munchers say wolves do not attack humans. Inuit hunters say otherwise. I spoke to a man who told me he parked his skidoo outside a cabin, only to be set upon by a wolf pack. He ran inside the cabin, barricaded the door and hid out, until the pack got bored and left. He thought about mixing it up with the snarling horde, but he only had a bolt gun and did not like the odds.

I do not know much about wolves but it seems to me the ideal weapon would be an SKS carbine with a ten round magazine. Since the mag is now illegal, I am considering a Browning BL-22. It is light, handy, accurate and easy to shoot moving targets with. It holds 15 rounds in the mag. But I am concerned the 22 LR does not pack enough punch to get the job done. On the other hand, if you hammered a few of the savages with a hollow point apiece, I do not think they would be in any shape to continue the attack. Their buddies might also reconsider their meal choice for the day.

Any thoughts?

Non-restricted Beretta Storm would do... 10 rounds, close defence... have to spend money on the gun + new barrel though...

How about a 10-22 with a 30 round mag loaded with Stingers? Tell me that wouldn't drop a bunch of wolves...:D

ps I've never even seen a wolf so am I sure? Not really.
 
wolves have attacked humans. We have one mauling and one death in the past 2 years in Sask. One mauling was a miner who was out for a late night walk in the north. was attacked. other was a Young Biologist student studing wolves near a baited site , he wasn't liked too much by the wolves and was killed and partially eaten. if wolves are in town i would think this would be a no brainer for law enforcement and remove the wolves by any means.
 
Remington 7600P in .308 16" bbl ought to do the trick. Legal for 10 round mags or 20 rounders if you can find them. Less $$ than the CX4 and unrestricted out of the box. :D

Maybe these particular wolves are werewolves :eek: If so, I would head to the off topic section and ask all the zombie freaks what they would use :onCrack:

No problemo...just get some cupronickel milsurp ammo...they won't know it's not real silver till they've already died...
 
Some 'tactical' pump shotguns can hold up to 8? rounds of buckshot, no?

Regardless, I think the first BOOM is going to send them running.

X2 good choice!

Or a LE No.5 carbine, 10 rounds of .303 170 gr softpoints in the fastest bolt action known to man. That would thin out the pack for sure.
 
Actually, Gentlemen, wolves take quite a bit of killing..........far more than a coyote! It has amazed me, and several other guys up here, who have watched our big timber wolves take what appear to be perfect hits from 7mm and 300 Mags, only to get back up and take off.

River Rat shot one a few years ago with his 358 Norma Mag. Broke the near shoulder, went right through the lungs, and exited. It took that hit, and still had fight in him when we got to it about three minutes later. I have seen grzzlies expire much quicker

They are very, very tough, and laugh at 22 rimfire rounds of all persuasion. ;)
