Page "Cycle of the Werewolf" Paragraph 34

In September, Elmer Zinneman hears his entire pen of pigs being attacked.

While initially planning to shoot at a natural predator, Elmer abandons these plans when he hears a wolf howl.

Later on Elmer goes outside to see something huge and black running into the woods.

Elmer's brother Pete comes over later that day and the men discuss how much of the loss will be covered by insurance.

Pete mentions the wolf track evident in the mud, and notes that even he knows that those tracks belong to a werewolf, and he lives two counties away.

Later on, both Elmer and Pete discuss going hunting for the werewolf, but not until November, saying that until then, people will have to be careful during the light of the full moon.
