Bad Wigins,
I retract my earlier remark.
You're completely crazy.
Read over the stupid link you posted.
Look for the part where it says "Cimato to don his snowshoes, run, untie his snowshoes, hitch a snowmobile ride, and then retie and start snowshoe running to another ambush point. "
Start with that. There are plenty of other comments in the piece that reiterate how stupid your comment is. The article says nothing about running down a wolf.

Remember when Donovan Bailey tried to outrun a horse? Or was that Big Ben?
I think Usain Bolt could outrun a husky. Close.
Good one. A Husky could match Bolt's 100m pace for multiple miles.

I never said it did. That is why I went on to prove that a human can, in fact, run on surfaces where a wolf cannot. That proves my original comment that persistence hunting of wolves is, in fact, possible.
But since your panties are still twisted up about that, I will insult you some more, as I warned you, you degenerate leech, while providing even more educational information for better readers than you.
Skiing was invented for persistence hunting, as most people of Nordic descent know. Moving quickly across deep snow can exhaust any animal that can't run on top, including bears and wolves, you corpse-festering worm. These hunters carried spears up until last century. Wolves were persistence-hunted by skiers who would pursue them all day, and sometimes for several days by relays of skiers.
Indians didn't happen to have skis, you insufferable snot. So they did their persistence hunting with snowshoes. E.g. page 112 of

Go ahead, point out that I haven't provided a specific example. I enjoy making you look stupid so I'm saving that for next time. Or you could admit to yourself that there is surely one out there and I'm bound to find it if I hunt persistently, and spare yourself any further shame.
No, you said "... it is supposed to be possible to run down a wolf using snowshoes"
Ignoring the fact that wolves don't use snowshoes ...
it is not supposed to be possible at all, to do this.
Now, if you're changing your argument to using relay runners, that's an entirely different situation .. snowshoes, skis, or not.
I'm not interested in chasing down your stupid rabbit holes .. provide a link showing what you're actually saying, or simply stfu and crawl away .. like you usually do.
