  • Heritage horses? Seems from what I have been reading most if not all cattle barons would like all the horses removed! Check out Save Alberta Wildies . I think there is room for all if there were less cattle. If we don’t let the predators take down the weak sick deer we are going to have deer wasting disease here sooner or later. I don’t agree with populating the wolves just to be tormented to be killed. Love your reporting.

  • In Southeastern Ohio outside cities like Zanesville, there is the coy dog. Been around for ages, I’ve never seen one up close but they’re very vocal at night.

  • Um, this is pure bafoonery. Start to finish.

      FACT CHECKING, THE FACT IS WE HAVE HAD WOLF CROSSES HERE IN SISKIYOU FOR A VERY LONG TIME. THE CDFW HAS KNOWN OF THIS FOR 20 YEARS. RANCHERS, AND FARMERS SEE AND HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUES. when the crosses start eating spotted owls then maybe someone might start taking notice. thanks for your comment!

  • In 1990, I believe I saw a creature you describe while living on the Klamath River 8 miles out of Happy Camp. It was slowly walking about 300 yards from us on the flat below our home. At first I thought it was a wolf, then maybe a large coyote. Beautiful. Never saw it again.
