Then, come back in 2 years and post again.
 
I've been following this thread, and have been hoping I wasn't the only one to have this experience, and in all modesty, I'm rather hesitant to post this true story and I didn't want to be the first to post about my encounter with the wild boar and the wolverine.
Well, it happened like this, one very cold day in Northern Minnesota my snowmobile became stuck in some slushy water near the edge of the lake, after trying to free the track from the now frozen ice. I began to chip the ice from the track with an old screwdriver from my tool kit, when, suddenly I was attacked by the most ferocious wolverine. Without thinking I threw the screwdriver and it hit the wolverine right between the eyes, killing it instantly. This, by the way was from a measured distance of twenty yards.
My experience was with a wild boar, on the same lake, only in the summer time, I was trying to get my canoe unstuck from some tanglefoot near the shore when I was attacked by this huge wild boar. I just happened to have that very same screwdriver in my hand. I threw it without thinking and gee-whiz, guess what? I killed the boar too. I never practiced two years throwing knifes and never used a screwdriver before, but wonder of wonders I killed them both with the same screwdriver, I think it was a Craftsman from Sears. So, I wouldn't waste a lot of time practicing throwing knifes and get a nice set of screwdrivers. I would show you the pictures of the stuffed heads on the wall of my lodge, but I don't think you would believe it.
 
That's it. I'm selling all my knives and heading to Sears.

Phillips head or standard?

Anybody know where to get a good kydex sheath for a set of screwdrivers?

Normark?
 
Wolverine and wildboar hunting by throwing knife mano-a-beasto?.This is too rich!!!BTW my hunting safety instructor some years back actually encountered a wolverine when he was bow hunting and he said the animal just wouldn't back down-and he had a compound bow loaded with broadheads!.He was hunting only a few hours north of Toronto-so wolverines apparently are not that far away,so no need to go to Alaska or Yukon.:D
 
Attempting to do what you are claiming you want to do, you are going to die sooner than expected!!

In that case I am glad I carry a knife! I was telling the Mrs about Wolverines and she said "I don't think we have them in Canada". I have been outdoors at night around Georgian Bay and Manatoulin too!

The TD is a tough little predator that was made extinct in OZ -- probably by dingos. It eats a wide range of animal life and is regarded as a threat to new born lambs. It's teeth are not particularly long and reportedly have trouble penetrating cow hide.

The Woverine is close to twice the size of the TD, and while it would prefer carrion, it has been known to take adult deer, caribou, and moose.

In reality, neither is a significant threat to man.
 
Hey andbar, what did you do this past summer?
andbar- hunting frickin' wolverines with my throwing knives gawd!

The hell with the throwing knives, use a Victorinox Classic. Then I'll be impressed.

I thank you. Charles Darwin thanks you. The species thanks you. Please carry on with your plan.

I might suggest that throwing knives gives you too big a technological advantage. Try throwing rocks. Or better yet, go hand to hand. I know this guy who took a Yeti in Tibet bare handed. I'd show you the stuffed Yeti head, but like ghosts and vampires they don't show up on film.

Are we talking about the same wolverines? Scientific name Gulo Gulo? Fully grown wolverines are 20-30 lb scavengers, and preyed on by wolves, cougars, and bears.

My dog has killed a wolverine before. He's a 180 lb Tosa though.

Gulo gulo is the critter. And any wise critter prefers scavaging to possible injury (as I said - prefers carion). No Blue Cross in the wilds. However, they do take deer and caribou and moose if needs be. (Obviously, the prey has to be caught first, but Gulo gulo is faster in some deep snow than a deer.)

Same applies to wolves and wolverines. The film exists. The wolves ran. Why? On balance, at some level they don't want a broken leg = death sentence. Wolverines go for the legs and are fully capable of snapping a wolf's leg in one twist. Of course, we don't know what would have happened had the wolves decided to defend the kill. Woverines attacking multiple adult wolves must be unusual -- or there would be no wolverines.

Your dog is fortunate. Also, unlike the filmed wolf pack, not fully equipped for the wild since it undoubtedly had no need to confront such dangerous prey but did so anyway. It may have been demonstrating the guarding instinct that's good for OUR survival.

And 30 pounds is not large for a Wolverine. Some are 45 pounds. What's that, three Badgers?

The principal predator of Wolverines is man (for pelts). My step-dad trapped one in Canada once, but didn't get much of the pelt -- only the lower leg that it chewed off to escape.

The Wolverine Foundation exists to promote the preservation of Wolverines -- these nice, little, timid, gentile beasts so misunderstood by man. You know - Bambi -- only smaller and with more hair. Folks in rural Alberta had a slightly different view when I lived there.
 
There was a nature show on TV a few years ago that had footage of a grizzly and a wolverine crossing paths on a trail on the side of a mountain. Both the grizzly and the wolverine made good and sure to avoid each other. Was the grizzly afraid of the wolverine? Not likely, but why chance serious injury when the wolverine was none to interested in getting into it either. They both went off the trail to pass each other and then each continued on its way.

That is it!!!!! I am selling all my worldly possessions, heading to Sears for some Craftsman screwdriver and am heading to your compound for some Mall Ninjafication!!!! After that I am buying a one way ticket to the Middle East and am going to single handedly take on the terrorists in thier training camps.

I've only been here a couple of days and after reading your thread, I can say this much:

The folks at BladeFourms are a cold (sweet) drink of water compared to the guys and gals at most gun sites: especially handgun fourms.

I have never had so much fun reading the "standup comic" replys from knife lovers who all seem to know just exactly what their favorite object can, (and especially).....cannot do....... when up against the wrath of God!

You ought to read what gun lovers claim that their beloved handguns can do when faced off against any, and all, living creatures on the planet....including humans. Anything goes!

So far this place has been a breath of fresh air: even funny!

P.S.

There is a domestic house cat that hangs around our police station, that I personally would not want to mess around with, even using my Glock .40. I'd only consider my cruiser's 12 gauge shotgun if "Gulliver", ever decided to take me on. And last night he almost did.

Boars and wolverines are only for storybooks: not real life....much less knives.

I tried to use the screwdriver on my Walmart multi tool to put in concrete screws, but out of nowhere, the moles came out of the floor. My carpenters pencil, which I had just sharpened with my Jaguar folder, was sharp enough to kill the first ten moles that came out of the hole!


:D :D :D ;) ;) :) :)
