Maybe some of you from the great white north can answer me something.
(I usually take everything from Hollywood with a grain of salt, but)
In the movie, The Grey, the main character (Liam Neeson) worked as a proffesional hunter for an oil company. His duty was to guard field workers in the bush. He'd set up in a hide, just away from a crew and make sure they weren't attacked by wolves. Apparently (according to the movie) the wolves would attack crews that had strayed too close to thier "den areas". Opening of the movie shows him dropping a large wolf that was making a dead run for two oil crew guys. Apparently, those two were "within 30 miles of a wolf den".
Being a southern boy and have been nowhere near wolf country. Know nothing of thier behavior other than what I've seen on TV or read. I do know that wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone. I know that a lot of people hike there and have never heard of wolves attacking hikers there. I would think that a hiker or ranger would have, at least once, would have been close to a denning area over the years. Heard of Grizly attacks, but never of a wolf attack on humans.
That is why I'd call BS on this, but.....most Hollywood productions almost always protray animals as being "good" and people as evil. A movie portraying wolves acting this way has my curiousity up. Anything to this?
