Wolf Pack Near Compound

I guess I was not seeing things this past winter behind the compound. So there is a pack of four wolves in the area. Sure glad a friend told us about this. It would of been nice to hear it from the WDNR first and a little sooner then June. They must like to keep things like this under wraps. 

"Peshtigo Brook Pack - Oconto County
On February 3rd, wolves from the Peshtigo Brook pack injured a hound while training on the Oconto County Forest. This is a new pack that established last winter and currently contains four wolves. Hunters and dog trainers should be aware of the potential conflict and should exercise caution within the caution area outlined on the map below.

Also, isn't it quaint that the WDNR uses the word "DEPREDATIONS"

From Dictionary.com

"dep·re·da·tion
   /ˌdɛprɪˈdeɪʃən/ Show Spelled[dep-ri-dey-shuhn] Show IPA
–noun
the act of preying upon or plundering; robbery; ravage."

Better give Berry Laker daughter a heads up when she brings their pup to the compound.

Bud Buckles

Looks like Bud Selig buckled to the umpire union in not reversing a no hitter. Think about it. Four umpires on the field, official scorer upstairs and no one would reverse the call. So today the umpires blew the call and Selig was caught between upsetting the umpire union or do what is right.

Commissioner: MLB Won't Reverse Blown Call
Bud Selig Congratulates Pitcher, Says League Will Look Into Expanding Use Of Instant Replays"

If bud would of reversed the call the umpires would of went on strike.

You think I'm kidding?

Think about it.
