Nice wolf......looks like he has been eating well.
Is he getting tanned for your wall or going to the auction?

I had heard that you guy's lost your hunting and trapping for them. That's just not right. Hope you get it back and soon.

I'm always tickled to see one of these on the ground.

Beautiful area! What is an average Wolf hide worth? Just curious, as I have no idea.
Good deal! Keep whacking those deer munchers.

Sickens me, how activisit, tree huggers and head guy or gal to wildlife programs appointed politically of course have no clue what they are doing to wildlife..or do they?
I was invited to deer hunt north Wi, years ago. My commander's buddy had 80 plus acres in crp and food plots backing up to national forest. They were tagging multiple monsters a year. Everyone had lots of pics of deer they passed on too . I finally lost my little honey hole in IL. I went to take em up on offer. Only to find out, no one had bagged a deer in 4 years let alone seen a single deer. Wolves wiped out the herd.
Another buddy had offered to take me up to the UP, to his little slice of heaven after he got clearance from his buddy who owned property. He also had grouse? So we were going to deer and bird hunt. Again a guy with a large chunk of property who didn't hunt and only one who got to hunt was my buddy. Landowner told him he had not seen deer or sign of deer in a long while and heard grouse were Mia too since Wolf population took off. Buddy, went up there and didn't see a single deer track or grouse in two weeks of hunting. But lots of wolf sign. He gave up after three more years of not even seeing sign of deer or birds.
IL, just moved to protect them, cats and bear. Saying IL can support healthy populations and live in peace with them. Uggg my home state and just sickens me knowing what will happen to local wildlife populations.
We recently moved to AZ, and have a ton of elk locally. Deer population is downright sad. Nothing being done to increase deer count, but every other damn AZ update seems to be about wolf reintroduction. Our area is slotted for em too.Yeah, deer hunting is going to be hard enough, but keeping their heads up rear, the Elk will soon go the way of the deer. Haven't Elk hunted before so will be a new experience and a short lived one seems like it. I've done a lot of upland hunting out west. Talking with farmers and ranchers over the years, for ones old enough to remember wolves, they had nothing postive to say. That was before reintroduction was even started. Of course, now they'd like to see em all dead again. Just a shame hunters and rest of wildlife takes a back seat in these instances.
Awesome pics and congrats.
Way to go, hope you can get one every year. Or get more than one for that matter.
As a fellow NW Montanan. let me say THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you and best wishes on your continued success.

Where the deer are all gone, just stake out a liberal as bait. Solves two problems attracts predators and teaches liberals the error of their ways.

Good Job...I deer hunt the western UP of Michigan...between hard winters and the wolves....deer hunting has been difficult, to say the least. Kill everyone you can.
Here in WI, it used to to be that all my buds went north for the week of deer season. Come home with a pile of deer. Not so much these last few years.
Now, everyone hunts near home. Theres more deer in the southern part of the state.
The wis dnr did open a season on wolves here, but i don't know much about it.
Good work, Charlie!
It looks like you didn't get nearly as much snow up there as I did. 30" here the past week.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.
