Living in Wyoming for 12 years , although more mountainous, gave me that feeling of near isolation--particularly in winter--and that was with the amenities of phone , internet and central heating. A vast unoccupied space can be fairly daunting at times.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-41234676398519514572014-12-10T12:17:11.897-08:002014-12-10T12:17:11.897-08:00I used to imagine what it would be like on the pra...I used to imagine what it would be like on the prairies when reading the Laura Ingles Wilder books as a child.

What amazing women they must have been. xxEm Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04789754528697848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-86743745287005323482014-12-10T11:20:07.597-08:002014-12-10T11:20:07.597-08:00Those plains folk were certainly tough BB although...Those plains folk were certainly tough BB although I would say you do pretty well down there when the weather turns bad.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-77705020973741267822014-12-10T10:52:17.039-08:002014-12-10T10:52:17.039-08:00Just looked it up on Wikipedia - yes, I know, that...Just looked it up on Wikipedia - yes, I know, that's not always 100% correct - but it does suggest that in some instances Plains wolves had got used to people being around (habituated) and no longer feared them, until they learned to fear guns. Either that, or they may have been rabid?Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-72163329613077463872014-12-10T08:03:28.038-08:002014-12-10T08:03:28.038-08:00CT - well, just repeating what was written in the ...CT - well, just repeating what was written in the book.

Not so sure about the descriptions of the wolves though. We've been looking at the Greystone wolves for my course and that description of their behaviour doesn't fit with their ecology at all.
