So you think you can take a Wolf in a fight?
Courtaud terrorised Paris, killing dozens with his buds in the 1430's
None of these animals faced people with a rule against using weapons
I've been chased by a large german shepherd before, it was scary as fuck. Wolves are bigger, faster and have better instincts. Even with a gun I wouldn't want to take one on, have to be a pretty good shot to even hit it let alone get a kill shot. If it has pack mates there's no way you could get them all.
Edit: people need to watch The Grey
Gonna go punch a bunch of wolves with some smashed up liquor bottles and then have an ambiguous ending that doesn't confirm or deny my survival
Been a while since I've watched it, I thought every body died in the end.
There's a stinger where you see Liam's Neesons collapsed on top of the wolfpack leader, there's a faint bit of motion and then cut to black
I saw this movie, the true beast was a gang of papists and their trained lion
a wolf doesn't even have sharp claws like a panther (or bear?) does, how are they so good at killing?
They're fast and they're fucking huge . Also people in general used to be smaller.
Holy shit that thing could fit her entire head in its mouth.
Bears don't kill you by slicing you with their claws, they can just take your head off in a swipe with sheer force. At least if we are talking about the stereotypical brown bear. Black bears and sloth bears are more about the claws, but they're also smaller.
the following is definitely not an excuse to teach effective tactics to counter police attack dogs.
wolves arent fungible, they have unique personalities and experience and combat skills. that said i think i have a 75% chance on average in an arena style 1 v 1 vs a wolf. may have to sacrifice a forearm tho. humans are pretty good at protecting out center line instinctually, so even if the wolf is going for the neck it is plausible to get a forearm in the mouth first, and then if you can keep your wits about you through that pain (or of you wrap a coat around your arm first) your about halfway into a grapple that gives you excellent access to the wolfs head and neck. ideally then you break its neck with your other arm, using the one in its mouth for leverage and rotating the head violently backwards by pushing up with the mouth arm and down with the arm on the back of its neck. this technique is designed for attack dogs that are trained differently however, and wolves may be using stealth and tracking skills to set up ambushes against weakened or distracted people. plus, wolves almost never act alone. and in a more natural setting, defeating one wolf will still probably get you killed due to exposure or wounds sustained even if it is alone.
these were probably half-starved to even begin stalking humans, idk theyd be much bigger than a modern one
