Montana houndmen lose 3 dogs to wolves

A trio of houndmen hunting mountain lions near Libby, Mont. didn't see any obvious sign of wolves, so they decided it was safe to free thier dogs on a fresh cat trail Feb. 2. They were wrong. The bodies of the three hounds were recovered the next day. “I think we’ve got way too many wolves,” said Clyde Carpenter, owner of 6-year-old Dan, a Redbone Coonhound named after Old Dan from Where the Red Fern Grows. “Traps and bullets I don’t believe are going to do much.” Daily Inter Lake.
