I recently encountered the AhS saying "no".

Those who are learning the supplementary material to Arukh haShulchan
recently learned YD 57:19. The topic is a large animal (beheimah gasa)
that is clawed by something larger than a wolf but smaller than a lion.
Many are lenient. The Rama in se'if 1 has a "veyeish machmirim".

The AhS objects to someone saying that we are nohagim to prohibit
a beseimah gasah that was clawed by a wolf.
    Ein shayakh lomar "minhag"
    al davar she'eino matzui kol kakh.

Tir'u baTov!
