There’s a buzz among hunters in the PNW about the reintroduction
of wolves into the northwest. A man recently showed me a picture of
a wolf track that he said came from the Coast Ridge Range just
a few miles west of McMinnville, which is why the story in Rick’s
book caught my attention!
In his book Rick tells
about a technique Eskimos use for hunting wolves. They dip a
razor-sharp hunting knife in fresh blood and let it freeze. They
repeat this process over and over until the knife is coated and
looks (and smells) like a tasty blood-sicle. The knife handle is
then secured in the ice, ground, or other stable place with the
bloody blade exposed. When a wolf finds the knife, he licks the
exposed blade with increased passion, as he tastes the thawing
blood.
Quickly, the blood frenzy
he reaches a climax as the wolf’s tongue is sliced deeper and
deeper through his own blood lust. Eventually, the wolf bleeds to
death—a self-inflicted wound (James
1:13-15).
