this is the only animal i ever put into the record book. We shot him in alaska between lake clark and lake illiamna in the early 80's. He's been the #1 ever since. To get a perspective, the stairs behind are 4' tall, and the animal weighed over 200#'s  | ||

There's lots of country between those two lakes. A friend and I have been dropped off to caribou hunt on "Black Lake" in that general area acouple of times. There used to be lots of wolves, grizzlies, and caribou in the 80's. Don't know how it is now. Wonderful Wolf, very nice mount. Steve "He wins the most, who honour saves. Success is not the test."

I missed the memo where today is the day that Butch makes all of us look like pikers. That's a nifty wolf. I too, would like to see the honey badger. Was it difficult to get the bird imported? No wolverine by chance? Here is a wolf that weighed over 120. They look small on the ground until you pick them up.  _______________________________  | |||

How are wolves scored? by shull? Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

What a truly goregous animal... and a typical pelt at that. I was with my Bro in Law when he shot a 125 LB male in Ontario years back and yes they are large dogs. The interesting thing was that to my memory, the tracks I saw along the Salmon out of Kotzebue were far larger than BIL's dog. Thanks for the view.  Member NRA, SCI- Life #358 28+ years now!

yes wolves are scored by squared skull. this one was 19 3/16 no problem with the bird at all. in fact i've got a spurwing goose coming from zambia form this fall. wolverine was on the same day as the wolf, he's in the other corner of the room | |||

Wolf and wolverine on the same day. That's not very common at all! You've done well. _______________________________ | |||

That wolf is not only big, but he's also beautiful. Terrific trophy! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

That is a very cool mount and cool critter. Your wolf looks big, but I doubt that it weighed 200 pounds. Some of the best wolf trappers in AK have never caught one over 135 pounds and this is after 100+ wolves. A big wolf is 120. A huge one might go 140. They all seem big until you actually put them on the scale. I'm 6', 290 pounds when this picture was taken. We weighed this one at 111 pounds.

I have to agree that I have never seen a wolf certified anywhere close to 200#. Here is one that weighed over 100# (hard to weigh dead animals) that a friend shot and I recovered for him. A wolf weighing twice as much is hard to imagine. _______________________________ | |||

we actually did weigh him on a bathroom scale, but now i guess he's not #1 but #8 - i haven't looked at the "book" for 25 years or so | |||
