Where possible, half a dozen dogs should be slipped at once, to minimize the risk of injury to the pack; unless this is done, and unless the hunter helps the dogs in the worry, accidents will be frequent, and an occasional wolf will be found able to beat off, maiming or killing, a lesser number of assailants.

Some hunters prefer the smooth greyhound, because of its great speed, and others the wire-coated animal, the rough deer-hound, because of its superior strength; both, if of the right kind, are dauntless fighters.
Colonel Williams' greyhounds have performed many noble feats in wolf-hunting.

He spent the winter of 1875 in the Black Hills, which at that time did not contain a single settler, and fairly swarmed with game.

Wolves were especially numerous and very bold and fierce, so that the dogs of the party were continually in jeopardy of their lives.

On the other hand they took an ample vengeance, for many wolves were caught by the pack.
