Shot this male yesterday if I can get another 6 or so this season and if my hunters shoot straight when they get their chances, we may put a dent in population again this season.

Nice one! Way to go Doug. Hope you have a great season.

Well done! Are you hunting them over bait?

Good job. I hope you get the rest of the pack.

For the most part I always have bait out starting December, I also look for tracks, figure out their likely destination and try and head them off. Sometimes you can suck them in with some calling or howling. Other times you just have to be in the right place at the right time, it did work out for this one. You must try everything to be consistant.

Nice.

Beautiful animal!!

Great looking wolf...congrats.

Since I have missed the majority of the hunting season this year except for my moose trip, I will be concentrating on wolves and coyotes this winter in northern Alberta.

I hope you fill each and every tag that you and your hunters have. Good luck.

I killed 6 total last winter and had hunters miss two

very interesting ... how many days you can advise for a wolf hunt?

Sounds like a great hunt. Beautiful animal.

Do you hear them calling at night around the campfire?

As far as days for a wolf hunt.....as many as you can, as it is not an easy hunt. We use calling, baits, ambush tactics. It sure is cool to hear the wolves around the campfire but I prefer to here them howl when one of the pack hits the ground.

Nice wolf,,good work Doug,,that's because that's what it takes to get them guys!!
Have a successful winter.

Great wolf! Will be in BC over the holidays... with wolf tag just in case

Nice one. I haven't gotten one yet this year.

Every time I see a photo of a wolf, having been taken, I am amazed at the size of the animal.
Well done!

Speaking of size, is there any orgination that keeps track of wolf size, and how would a wolf be scored, would it be like B & C or P & Y score Bear and Cougar, ie; size of the skull?

Skull measurements the same as bear and cats determines trophy size.
I think down south killed wolves have to wieghed in most states but here in Canada the novelty has worn off and we just want them dead. Weight to us is not to important just numbers!

I always thought trophy size on fur bearers was determined by the price you are payed for the hide. The higher the price the better the trophy.
