Could you beat a wolf in a fight with your bare hands?

[rudeguy]

I would shoot it

 

[NeoV]

there are some real internet tough guys on this forum

Oh - and complete and total BS on the story of the guy attacked by 3 coyotes....

An adult wolf would kill 99.9% of the human population in a 1-1 fight with no weapons involved. Wolves, unlike domesticated dogs, live their entire lives fighting and killing things.

The reason they hunt in packs is because they can - they are social animals - but lone wolves survive on their own just fine as well - do Lions hunt in packs because they are pussies too?

A doberman is about half the size of a wolf, so dealing with them is hardly a good model either.

This is a dumb thread. The OP is obviously full of himself from whatever workout pills he's been taking.

Look at some police canine training videos. They go for the arm and drags the person down. Unless you are 400 lbs, you'd be flailing around quite a bit and screaming in pain from the fact that it probably just tore the muscles from your forearm.

The whole ducking down and grabbing a leg idea is ludacris. It would have so much momentum that even if it somehow missed biting any part of you, you'd be on the ground.

 

[irishScott]

No, but I think my CCW could handle it. Could also handle you despite your workout regimen, although from the sound of your posts you probably think you've developed bullet-proof muscle.

1. Wolf work in groups.
2. Weight up to 170+ lbs.
3. 42 large teeth @ 1,500 lbf/in2 crushing force.

Bare hand human would be eaten alive.

Yeah but those police dogs are trained and know that they have backup if they get into trouble. They know that their handler has a baton and probably even a gun.

A wolf wouldn't have any of that. That psychological edge can make all the difference.

Hahahahaha. You're talking about getting a psychological edge on a wolf hell-bent on your death. You sir, are a fool.

A wolf would destroy you, it has 2X the crushing bite of a German Shepherd, bigger teeth, and can bite through your femoral bone, let alone easily bite through your fingers. On average they're 79 lbs and can single handedly flip mooses dude.

Wolves are very strong for their size, possessing sufficient strength to turn over a frozen horse or moose carcass.[31]
...
The teeth are heavy and large, being better suited to bone crushing than those of other extant canids...[37][38] The canine teeth are robust and relatively short (26 mm).[24] The animal can develop a crushing pressure of perhaps 1,500 lbf/in2 compared to 750 lbf/in2 for a German shepherd. This force is sufficient to break open most bones,[39] as well as cut through half inch lassos with one snap.[40]

Or you can move to Eagle River, AK and talk to the 3 women walking their dogs who came face to face with a pack of 7 wolves.

lol this. Sacrificing your left arm? Only as an appetizer

 

[IEC]

If you're lucky it's a lone wolf and you only lose an arm or a leg and don't get killed instantly. If it's a pack...

I don't like my chances with a knife (even the 5-inch one I carry daily). With the gun I carry I like my chances a little bit better.

 

[notposting]

Well sure, barehanded is easier to shoot with than when having some mittens or thick gloves on! :awe:

 

[Fox5]

I always thought the guys in the Call of Duty games went down a little too easily to the dogs that attack you. On the other hand, they can snap the dog's neck so effortlessly, despite not having any real leverage on the dog's neck.

Not sure if I could survive a wolf, but I'd like to think I could t at least have a fighting chance if I can withstand the pain of it biting on something and go for its eyes.

I'd like to think I could do some good damage with a soccer kick too, but I'm not confident I could get one off before the wolf would be on me. How big are wolves? Size matters a lot, but I know I'm not beating any animal near by weight...if I could lift it, perhaps I could pick it up and slam it. I think I'd lose to any animal over 100 pounds for sure.

It doesn't matter how powerful the wolf's bite is because it wouldn't get the chance to use it.

I can move my arms pretty quickly so would just grab the wolf under the chin and then hold it there. A bit like how you can grab a snake's head to stop it biting you.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

lots of luls in this thread. a wolf would kill just about any human in a 1 on 1. the only way you'd win is thru some sort of dumb luck not some of the ridiculous strategies some people are talking about.

 

[jszklany]

I've read that if you're faced with a mountain lion, you should hold your jacket/coat/blanket above your head, with the fabric hanging down. The object is to make yourself look as large as possible, to convince the cat that you're too big to take down.

The wild animal would just laugh as he disemboweled you.

Nah, you have a good chance of survival 1v1, but not 1vPack.

retarded OP is retarded

LOL!

Wolves run at 40 mph, average human run at 15 mph, and Donovan Bailey/Maurice Greene fastest 100m dash was 26.5 mph.

I'm sorry but wolves are twice as fast as you are, hence you have absolutely no chance of surviving a fight with a wolf.

No direct correlation between Speed and Survivability. Besides, you're conflating Running Speed with other things.

You are right it is not the same thing, however it does demonstrate that wolves are quick. And, perhaps their reaction time is much quicker than human as well as domesticated dogs.

IMHO, the video below shown what would happen to the OP if he reside to take a wolf on bare hand.

Sure, they are quick, no denying it, but with that advantage they also have the disadvantage of having no Arms. A wolf could temporarily immobilize 1 arm with its' jaws, but that leaves the second arm free to counter attack.

 

[UberNeuman]

I can't beat a wolf with my hands, but I can choke a chicken....

 

[yh125d]

I like my chances against a single, average sized wolf. Sure, there are some wolves out there that are over 3' tall and running close to 150lbs, and one like that would probably make short work of me, but if some 80 pound wolf came at me out in nature and I couldn't kill it, I'd be surprised. Sure, it'd do some damage, maybe even some major damage, but unless it sneaks up while im asleep and gets a full on jugular bite, it can't kill a 6'1 230lb guy that fast.

Chances are, one would start out circling me, nipping, sizing me up, etc. Something humans are very good at. We are vertical, with a superior view of the wolf and the terrain, and we can turn around so much faster than a wolf could circle us, so the wolf would have to come straight at you, which is much much easier to defend. It is true, we aren't particularly tough or strong for our size. However, our only very weak area is our neck, which is easily defended, being that mine is much higher up than their typical prey. Much smaller relative to our size than many common prey animals. I also have powerful, highly articulate, dextrous upper limbs right up there to defend it. I have extremely powerful legs, capable of great stomping and kicking force, if able to be properly applied.

Primates are highly adept in wrestling, or rather just rolling around on the ground. Much more so than any canine, I can only imagine it'd be pretty easy to get a wolf on its back or a similar position, from which you have many ways of possibly killing the wolf. There's probably rocks around, grab one and bash their fucking skull in. They're not cows with 1/2" thick skulls, even a two inch piece of gravel could make short work of their head/snout, much less a nice brick sized rock with an edge or two on it.

No rocks? Go for their legs. Wolf legs are strong and highly optimized, but only in the front to back direction. So they can run forward fast, but otherwise, are pretty weak. Grab a leg and yank it, or really just exert it in just about any direction and you could easily hurt it pretty bad.. If you can get it on its back, grab both front legs and just push them apart as hard as you can, like pinning someone. Dislocating both front legs that violently, ripping tendon and muscle, would without a doubt end the fight immediately. Grab a hind leg, put it under your foot, and thrust. Break the shit out of that wolfs leg. Knee it in the gut repeatedly. Punch it in the kidneys repeatedly. Choke the motherfucker with your hands. Rip its asshole out with your fingers. Rip their eyes out. Ram your thumb down their gullet. Get your arms wrapped round their chest and suffocate them with a bear hug. Break their neck. PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE/SNOUT/EAR AREA REPEATEDLY.


Grab the fucker and pick it up. Particularly if you're wrestling on the ground or you can grab it by the tail/leg and dive on its back or something. Maybe you were out fishing so you're by a lake. Drown the bastard in the lake.

I see many, many ways to kill or do significant harm to a wolf under 100lbs. I see only one way for a wolf to be able to quickly kill me (neck bite), which would be nearly impossible for a single wolf to get on a human of my size. I think I could kill a wolf with my bare hands.
