Default wolves killed 2 miles from my house



This gentlemen in this picture name is bill Dixon he lives about 2 miles from me and rehabilitates deer for a hobby. Over the past 2 monthes 3 of his deer have been killed and thought it was coyotes. He killed these 2 wolves Tuesday morning after he spotted them in his field in his back yard. The wolves were owned by a guy named mark who about 3 miles from bill. The wolves escaped there pens ironically about 2 monthes ago and the owner never told anyone. These are not domesticated dogs!!!!!! These wolves are the real deal. The guy mark who owned them asked me a couple years ago to start bringing him my deer carcasses so he could feed his wolves. It's getting ready to evolve into a hatfield/mcoy situation because marks mad about his wolves and bill lost his deer. Pretty crazy situation!!!!

Wolves CAN be domesticated. My sister in law had a wolf for over 15 years. Sweetest animal you'd ever want to meet. Friendly to a fault, and a great guardian/protector type. She'd come and sleep at my feet when we visited overnight.

I used to have a Caucasian Ovcharka.. (Russian Mountain Shephard) kinda like a second cousin to a wolf. Best dog I ever had. I miss her to this day.

What a shame that those pets were destroyed. The owned should have been more careful about keeping them safe, and the shooter should have been a little less trigger happy.

A chap in Winter Haven used to have a Wolf. (Or at least it appeared to be a wolf) Very near Osborn Marine, kept it in a fenced in yard. Pretty large and absolutely intimidating when looking at you over the top of the 4' chainlink fence. I always wanted a fox.

Kracker I had to scroll up and see where the hell you lived!!! Crazy.....

Destroyer I kinda have to agree with you. But, you gotta do what you gotta do to protect yourself, land and etc......It probably wouldn't have been as bad if dude didnt stopped to pose with them as a trophy and in turn showed a little remorse......

We have em here ironically enough. There was a land developer in cahoots with my grandpa that was a big fox hunter and every place he developed he would set a load of fox go on it. I can't tell you how many times Ive gone to pick up my boat from my parents and one would dart across the street, my buddies would say "what the hell was that!?!?!"

Mr. Dixon was unaware they were animals that were pets. Mr Dixon was suppose to be in Florida right now on buisness at a big boat show but yesterday he went to home depot to by wood to build caskets and bring them to the owner to help bury them. He also is getting the hides professionally tanned and is gonna give them to the owner. Mr Dixon is stand up guy and truelly was protecting his fawns that he rehabilitates. Like he asked me on the phone, he said what would you have done? Your making your coffee and there's 2 120 pound wolves in the sneak position crawling across your land 80 yards behind your grandchildrens swing set heading towards your deer impoundment? And I told him point blank " I would have to kill em" its sad for both parties.

I would have reacted as Mr Dixon. I have 3 kids running around...I am not familiar with wolves, but I am not willing to take a chance with my kids, no doubt those they would NOT be alive on my property

The whole story sucks though....sucks the wolves owner wasnt more responsible and they had to be killed. Sounds like Mr. Dixon is a hell of a man though.

Side note - my best bud who owns the boat dealership left for a week of Fla and boat show today....lucky a$$.....
