We actually do have red wolves in Florida. They are isolated breeding populations that are part of a reintroduction attempt for the Eastern United States.
Not contending the check the tag remark so much as pointing out something that may not be well known. I've only seen coyotes down here as far as wild canines go.Since 1987, over 100 wolves were reintroduced and more were born into captivity. In 1989 the second island propagation project initiated with release of a population on Horn Island off the Mississippi coast. This population was removed in 1998 because of a likelihood of encounters with humans. The third island propagation project introduced a population on St. Vincent Island, Florida offshore between Cape San Blas and Apalachicola, Florida in 1990, and in 1997 the fourth island propagation program introduced a population to Cape St. George Island, Florida south of Apalachicola, Florida.
In 1991 two pairs were reintroduced into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where the last known Red Wolf was killed in 1905. Despite some early success, the wolves were relocated to North Carolina in 1998, ending the effort to reintroduce the species to the Park.
You should be more concerned about avoiding lightning strikes, considering you are 10 times more likely to die by lightning strike then you are by a Bear.
But to put your mind at ease, always hike with a friend (a slow fat friend) you don’t have to out run the Bear you just have to out run your friend
If you light a fire for a man he is warm for a day, but if you light that man ON fire he is warm for the rest of his life.
yeah batch: what i actually know about florida would just about fit into my hat. a lot of it sure is pretty though.

Tell them Kevin sent you!!
I suggest you study mixed-martial arts. Wolves and bears in different regions have different attack strategies. If you just know karate you may not be aptly prepared to handle an attack by a pack of bears that know tai chi. you should brush up on your grappling skills, dirty boxing and ground game so your prepared for whatever the predators bring in to the attack. when all else fails- jump off a nearby cliff- I have seen both Charles Bronson and Rambo use this method of conflict aversion and it can work.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
You have to positively identify the exact species of predator. So you know whether to yell chi-ya, hee-ya, or ki-ya when you judi chop them.
thats right trax. you can't beat boots in the field experience. I have had packs of bears climb trees after me, and herds of wolves run into the water when I've jumped into a pond to illude their advances. But I ain't ever had a wolf or a bear jump off a clip in pursuit. when all else fails- jump off a cliff. Falling doesn't hurt...but landings can
Well Jason, that landing thing is exactly why I only carry a silk backpack which converts immediately into a parachute when the indicator tells it that I'm dropping at a specific rate of descent. It also converts to a tuxedo in case I land in a more formal setting. Source James Bond folks, you can't go wrong.
