The curse on MacFinn

Pretty much what I'm thinking. His father, or mother, or grandparent, or whoever had it last passed it to the latest MacFinn. No idea how far back it was made. I just don't think it was MacFinn himself who had it built.
Aside from that, why wasn't there a backup plan? A second circle somewhere he could go? Seems like quite a bad oversight for someone who Hulks out and murders police precincts every twenty-seven days. EDIT: Duh, that's what the Northwest Passage project thing was all about. Preserving my question as a permanent reminder to myself of my own stupidity.

That's okay I do so many mental farts in a day that my ears pop.

Yeah, my brain fart about the circle was probably worse.

Simple complacency. How long had he gone with out an incident? he was safely contained or out in the wild from the time he was in Viet Nam for at least 30 years with no problems.

As opposed to the 1500 or so years since the original curse was cast, which Harley was well aware of (hence his Northwest Passage backup plan).
While we don't know much about every Loup-garou MacFinn who ever existed, if they were all using the same protective circle since the curse was originally cast, it seems odd to suppose that none thought up a backup plan prior to Harley.
