Wolves are the only animal on earth that kills for fun, other than people.

I carry a G34/17, but I will probably be buying a G20 to take over that spot this year.
It amazes me you guys that don't carry a back up in the woods. Even if I go on a day hime a pack. Not for the cougars, wolves, badgers, etc it's a the two legged beast that roam among us
I have never seen a wolf kill for fun - dogs, yes.
I am well aware of where the instinct comes from - but dogs will kill and then leave their prey laying there, not eat it at all.Where do you think domestic or ferral dogs got there instinct? Wolves were around well before any dog. Yes wolves kill for fun. They, most of the time, leave almost all of the carcus they just killed. Then move on. Very rarely do they eat the entire animal.
Wolves very frequently kill to teach their young how to do it. It's a matter of survival for them. Anyone that has never seen it, or the results of it, and says it doesn't happen, is naive in the extreme. Is it for fun? Not if you consider the teaching aspect. But that doesn't mean they only kill for food either.Dogs, especially feral or loose dogs running in a pack, kill a lot more wildlife and attack a lot more humans than wolves ever have.

I have had dogs try to attack me - never been approached by wolves, bears, cougars or coyotes - even though they are all around and probably on my property from time to time.
My woods gun is an S&W 686 plus.
When varminting, I often use a stainless 9-shot Taurus .22RF revolver with 4-inch barrel.
