Your joking!!! Unless of course you want to wear bracelets.
There was no intent to kill a wolf, this person thought it was a coyote, when he got close to the animal, he was stunned and brought it to me for identification.
If the state had been notified , undoubtably he would of been arrested, and his life would of changed forever.
It was suggested that he dispose of the animal and shut his mouth, which apparently he did.
The proving of any mystery animal, such as mountain lions, wolves, or even bigfoot could be disasterous to the logging industry, hunting, and trapping.
The decimation of the whitetail deer is presently occuring in northern Maine due to the accidental trapping of a couple of Canadian Lynxes.
Trapping for coyotes in deer yards is no longer allowed and coyotes are literally destroying the herd.
Incedently the Canadian Lynx is not an endangered species, Northern Maine is in it's southern range and from time to time, they do enter this area looking for it's favorite food, snowshoe hare.
