"Kill them," I thought as I read it. "They're a bunch of dicks who are getting what they deserve!" I was thinking of the protagonist and his friends in the cabin.

A Saskatchewan wolf hunting license is $50 and is available for Saskatchewan residents ONLY. Unlawful hunting carries a $1,000 fine.

As a predator, there just aren't that many wolves. While there is limited hunting in livestock production areas near provincial forests, it wouldn't be allowed in a rural area without any mobile phone traffic.

So, these guys go out and start killing small game animals for shits and giggles. Then they find some wolf tracks and graduate to them. With no logical reason, they kill seven or eight wolves.

Any self respecting wolf would feel completely justified in defending their family against these American yokels from Tennessee who go out and shoot them for no reason.

The only thing missing is the description of how many cases of Labatt Blue they've drunk first.

A large male wolf is normally about 100 lbs, the size of a really large German Shepherd. Ones that are 200 lbs have been recorded in Alberta and in Alaska. The height at the shoulder is about 32 inches for a large male and the length from nose to tail is perhaps 6.5 feet (https://www.wolf.org). I assume you are using the wolves being the size of a minivan to say that they are werewolves. I looked up the size of the current generation Ford Transit. (I like my Ford truck so I chose Ford) The short wheelbase model is 18 feet long and six feet tall in its shortest configuration. If eighteen feet from nose tip to end of the tail were accurate, this would be a one-ton werewolf.

Even if this is some very famous Native American legend, as an American I would be thinking werewolf and would be searching for anything made of silver and for rye and mistletoe. Would that be in character?

Oh, your English and composition were generally quite good. Not perfect but not worth spending time correcting if you're going to be rewriting the story anyway.
