A True Story About WOLVES

This is the interview I did with Paul Boots. He didn't have much to talk about and he also said that it would be short and brief. This is what Paul had to say. The kind of wolves he saw were timber wolves. He said they were quite similar to the dogs we have here in the village. For exampIe, the way they barked was about the same as dogs, but they were more dangerous than the dogs. Like when wolves haven't eaten in a long time they would come into the village and eat some of the dogs. They would also go to peoples' porches and eat their fish that was stored there. Paul said that they only saw the wolves in the village at night and never saw them during the day. When they went out hunting for wolves Paul said they hunted them like they would hunt a bear. They would wait until it came up close to them and then they would shoot it. This is the end of Paul's story.
