For the past 4 years we have been baiting three spots for wolves, had a hunter come in for the hunt got a nice big one, looks like he was the alpha weighing about 200lbs. The hunter said it was the scariest but best hunt ever, especially when after he shot it he could hear the pack howling as they circled the area trying to figure out was happened.

Damn. Wolf Slayer
Very tasty in a stew with potatoes,carrots,onions,ect.
Nice work, tint of red. 
I think the “scary wolf” part that always gets brought up is hilarious.

It’s an eerie feeling when you hear wolves sound off close to you in the dark.

Nothing screams fun more then baiting dogs and shooting them. Or baiting anything in general.
I get the population control just have always been torn about the practice of shooting animals over bait.

Aren’t all fish taken by baiting? Unless they’re taken by netting, which seems even less sporting.
I’m more curious where the wolf hunt was?
Is there any allowed legally in the lower 48?
OPer is from Canada, Walleye.

There are wolf hunting opportunities in Idaho! Actually pretty neat to buy a Muley tag- can take a Bear or Lion instead if you are having difficult with the deer. Can buy a $31 non-resident tag for a wolf too. Walk into the woods on public land for $330 and have the opportunity to hunt four different animals. Used to be able to do the same with an elk tag but they must have recently nixed that.
200lbs is a huge wolf even for the arctic wolf population.

Can I always count on you for a good debate?
I find fishing with bait vastly different then bait piles for hunting.
Its more like chumming then netting not hook and minnow.
Wolves don’t ever* attack people in North America.
*They did kill a lady jogging in a snowstorm in alaska in a case of suspected mistaken identity and a kid was attacked around Bemidji by one that was old and deformed and starving. As a general rule you’ve got nothing to worry about with wolves in NA. They will obviously eat your pets if given the opportunity. I also don’t have any problems with legal wolf hunting. Just sharing info.

You tell me this when you are in the dark at 5am in the middle of the woods by yourself and a pack of wolves in creeping up your 6 
Bears don’t eat people either right?

This reminds me of a time out grouse hunting in superior national forest in early december. Just about sunset was still a mile or two out from the truck when I walked to a clearing by a river. Just on the other side a pack of wolves started howling and going nuts. Don’t think I have had a creepier feeling in the woods
Question,
What do you do with the meat? If you eat it, what the hell does it taste like?

Like German shepherd. 
That’s kinda funny!

I’m not really sure to be honest. I’ll have to check with the in-laws and see what they thought of the “venison” from this Fall. 
I don’t have a problem with a wolf , what i have a problem with is when they are on my patio less than a foot from my basement walkout! Then my black lab goes nuts trying to get at him !

So then Mountain Lion, being a cat, tastes like what?
…looks like he was the alpha weighing about 200lbs
I love how every male wolf taken by a hunter gets labeled as an “alpha” to really sell the story. Kind of like the need some have to call any buck over 6 points a “dominate buck”.
There is no way to tell the alpha wolf by size or any other way except by long observation of the entire pack interacting together. The alpha is NOT always (no even often) the biggest male in the pack. Nor is he the most aggressive or any of those other mythical characteristics.
The wolf in the picture looks like an almost-mature juvenile male judging by the shape of the head and face, lack of scars, etc.

Well…

Montana.

Over the Counter tags costs $19 for residents. $25 for non residents for the first tag. $50 after the first tag
Every DNR of Forestry official we talked to out in Montana this fall basically begged us to buy wolf tags… “just in case.” Apparently the wolves have been doing quite the number of elk and deer populations in certain areas.

Chad and I considered it but opted to not do it.
The night before the opening of elk season Chad and I were glassing a herd of elk that we planned to hunt the following morning when we had a BIG black wolf cruise the top of the ridgeline in the foreground. In hindsight, if I had a tag, I’m not sure I would have pulled the trigger given how hard it was to get in close to these elk undetected in the first place… but I know it would have been tempting.
In the future I will be dropping the few extra dollars for the wolf tag… “just in case.”

Yeah and everything said fishing related on this website is always correct too
Awesome wolf and thanks for sharing Steve!!
I’d love to see a picture of the wolf next to the hunter for size comparison.
200# is BIG. Congrats to the hunter. Got bigger marbles than me!
