At the Redwolf Sanctuary in Rising Sun. We went on a tour Saturday afternoon. It is a very interesting place. They have recently moved to Rising Sun and are still building. They are planning on fencing in a huge field bottom and getting elk and buffalo. They told us that an elderly eld farmer in Ohio wanted to get out of the business and offered to give him his elk. Some state rules won't let them take them across state lines or something. We saw several bears, coyotes, red, gray, and white foxes, wolves, bobcat, cougar, owls, and hawks. He feeds them roadkill deer. They got all of the wolves and coyotes howling. That was very cool to hear that all around you. I was just getting ready to ask if the local deer stayed away when we walked around a bend in the trail and there were 2 does maybe 20 yards away from the wolf pen. There was also a rub right next to it. On the walk back to the parking lot, I noticed deer tracks 20 feet from the bear enclosure. I guess the deer know they are safe.

I grew up hunting less than 1 mile from a wolf pen. Made for fun times when I took a new friend to my hunting spot. I always warned them about the wolves, typically they never believed it but by lunch they were asking all types of questions!
I drive past an elk farm every day, they are about as cool as the cows down the road to me. Now if they were free range...that would be cool!

I prefer them to be behind fences.
