Subject: Attention: ALIENS lurking in Clark County Forests
ATTACHED PHOTO’S ARE NOT FOR THE WEAK STOMACHED.
The four attached pictures are the remains of a hound dog that was killed by wolves in the western Clark County forest on July 4, 2009.
As of yesterday, August 1st, there have been three more hounds killed.
Rick Nelson of Loyal, WI. was participating in the bear training season that opened statewide on July 1st on the Butler Lanes which are northwest of Rock Dam. They were in active pursuit of a bear when they heard a different type of bark from their 6 year old Bluetick. The group ran into the woods unarmed and were at the site within 15 minutes only to find the remains of a 60 pound bear hound that was attacked by a pack of wolves. The scarey part, Rick says, is the day before the attack his young kids were playing in the open grassy area on the same trail as the remains.
Another dog was killed that same week in the Levis Mounds area in southern Clark County and Dave Murphy of Neillsville lost one to wolves last Saturday in the Abbotts Ranch trails. In that incident Dave heard a similar commotion and ran in to the woods and was brushed by one of his other hounds running out of the woods with three wolves chasing it. Dave, unarmed, confronted the wolves and managed to turn them away. Then ran in another 100 yards to find his hound lying dead on the trail.
Just yesterday, another hunter in the Prey area found his dogs collar, a few intestines and part of the foot. Because there were not enough remains to study, the wolf experts claim they can not confirm that the hound was attacked by wolves. Therefor the only logical explination could be ALIENS.
If you look at the DNR webpages on wolves, http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/er/mammals/wolf/dogdepred.htm , in the first 26 days of open bear/hound training season there have 8 confirmed hounds killed with another 6 injured throughout the state. For those that know Clark County, if you look at the maps and study the “caution areas” that the DNR recommends avoiding during training season, of the 133,000 acres of county forest there is a small portion at the north end and a small corner in the southeast end that are free to try.
For those that don’t know, from July 1 – August 31, bear hunters are allowed to train their dogs and get them into shape for the fall hunting season. During the fall hunting season you are only allowed to pursue bear with hounds in the northern 1/3 of the state, basically above Hwy. 64. To save time and money, hunters train the hounds in their home areas during the July/August season. Hence Clark County and other areas south of Hwy. 64. The hunters are not allowed to carry weapons nor harm or injure the bear in any way. This activity/training period is no different that a person does with a bird dog, a show beagle, a riding horse, a cat on a leash or a runner training for their own marathon. You train to better your chances of success and enjoyment and to get in shape.. As for the dogs, they are doing what they were bred and created for.. For them, chasing a bear is equal to the pleasure for us of watching a good movie, going to a concert or having sex. They were trained to pursue bear not chasing wolves or fighting angry animals. Some may argue that God didn’t create these hounds for humans gain or pleasure. If that’s the case why did God create cats or hampsters or gold fish?
Take this for what it’s worth. The pictures are harsh but they are reality. Feel free to take you children or your Fifi for a strool through the enchanted woods. But Beware – There are Aliens lurking in the Clark County Forest and they’re hungry!
