Big bad wolf

[wiperhunter2]

Have any of you guys see this yet? Here is the story I received with the picture.
"[#4040ff]This monster Canadian Grey Wolf was shot due to his continued killing of
Livestock in Sun Valley, Idaho[/#4040ff]."

Nope, But wow. Thats a huge dog! GLad to see that they put the slap down on him. That is a licensed killing machine!

That is what I thought but I was also trying to judge it's weight. I suppose it depends on the height of the guy holding the wolf but my guess would be that it weighs 175 and maybe as much as 200 lbs.

Definately a big dog Curt!

But their weight is really decieving with their full fur coats. This wolf probably weighs more like 100 to 110lbs.

I have a picture of two FWS employees holding two wolves that were shot by Kemmerer last year and they also look huge, but only ended up weighing around 100lbs a piece.

By the way the largest recorded wolf ever was 175lbs and it was killed in the 1930's in Alaska. If this wolf were even close to that I am sure we would have heard about that on the news.

Hey Braz,
OK, that makes sense, I figured if the guy holding it was 6 ft it must be a big wolf. Of course if he is 5'6' that would make a big difference when comparing him to the size of the wolf. I went back to one of the links you posted a year ago and saw some wolves that you were talking about. Those wolves looked smaller but again, I guess it depends on the size of the guy holding the wolf. Either way,I guess there is no way it could be 200lbs.

Post that pic up Braz!

I have a really hard time believing that wolf is 100lbs. I have seen deer shot half that size that wiegh 150 lbs. Look at the quarters on that bad boy, looks like a freakin elk quarter.
Either that guy is a midget, or that Wolf is some kind of record. I would take a bear attack any day over having that thing chase me down.

Here is the pic.

I am not saying that this wolf does not way more than the ones on this pic but it surely is not all that much more and in no way is it 75 to 100 lbs more.

Also like I said if any wolf that is killed by USFWS or the USDA even came close to the record of 175, I gurantee that news would spread like wildfire throughout Wyoming, Idaho and Montana.

You would know better than I would Braz, it just looks freakin huge.

I hope they kill more. My family has hunted in elk in Copper Basin just east of Sun Valley for twenty years. There used to be tons of elk, but the last couple years all my brothers see are carcasses and an occasional scattered cow elk or two. Time to move on I guess, but it's pretty frustrating to see such a productive hunting ground ruined. The wolves have gotten pretty brazen as well. They have sightings all the time out in the open in the middle of the day. They were supposed to have wolf tags available for five buck this fall, but are back in litigation with lawsuits. Here's hoping though.

The wolfs that were transplanted here are not real wolfs like the ones that used too roam here in america there mutts from canada there larger more aggressive and the mooks that protect them and brought them here want to pass them off as the real deal..
There not and I wish more people would under stand that so we could get these evasive species under control.
