Basin Butte Pack ~
2006 Story
Continued...
One of the
non-lethal tools used to scare away B171 was a RAG (radio-activated guard)
box. If she came near it, an noisy alarm would go off along with flashing
lights. It seemed to help. Since wolves will run from loud noise, wolf
advocates practiced shooting at paper targets in the foothills where the
Basin Butte wolves had been seen. The hope was that the sound of gunfire
would scare any wolves in the vicinity, deeper into the mountains. This
worked. There were no more depredations.

The photo below shows a pro-wolf citizen, hiking and practicing his second
amendment rights on the Sawtooth National Forest. The sign is new, posted
since the presence of wolves became known. Neither "wolf lovers" or
"wolves" are welcome on the nearby ranchette, whose absentee owners, lease
pasture for cattle grazing.
