is he a midget or is that wolf huge!?

ChrisRenaud 06-04-2009 11:06 PM

WOW, that bugger is huge!

Plummerbutt 06-04-2009 11:24 PM

Thats not the famous Leprecan from the infamous new record deer photo os it?

That looks like a huge wolf!

Jamie Black R/T 06-05-2009 08:48 AM

saw that wolf in person when i was at trophy book archery a few weeks back

he shot it over a bear bait with a 30-06.....took a quick weight and it came in over 230 lbs

shot near edson

i guess the bugger managed to come in and chase off a 6'+ blackie

all on video too

i heard all that first hand from the shooter and couple of his buddies....never did get to see the video but i saw the wolf...its no joke

Matt L. 06-05-2009 09:38 AM

:eek: Holy Hell!! That is one big friggin' wolf! Any word if the shooter is going to do a full mount or what? I'd love to see pics of that.

Stinky Buffalo 06-05-2009 11:12 AM

Was Little Red Riding Hood's grandma still inside? :lol:

That's some huge wolf. Kudos!

yeah he swung by to show it off on his way to the taxidermist....its getting a full body mount

Official weigh-in
 
Did he get it weighed officially anywhere? If it is 230 lbs. it would be about 55 lbs. heavier than the current world record for a wolf.

Jamie Black R/T 06-05-2009 02:51 PM

not officially weighed....that was a rough weight...not sure now how they weighed the wolf but i remember it was a pretty primitive method LOL

ill be into trophy book again soon....ill follow up then and see if there is any fresh info

while everyone was gawking at the wolf i heard the words "World Record" said about ten times :lol:

we'll see i guess

Thanks, I look forward to hearing more.

The current record is ~179 lbs and it was from the Rockies, just got corrected by a friend.

Something about the Drayton Valley/ Edson area produces big wolves. Saw some pics last year of one that probably would have went ~140lbs, but this one's in a class all its own...

YoungBuck 06-05-2009 04:48 PM

a wolf that size could put a significant dent in the moose (and caribou) population.
thanks for posting

Elko 06-05-2009 07:00 PM

Not sure where the 179 lbs for a world record comes from, the book only shows skull size, which of course nly reflects the scull not the size of the rest the wolf.
There was a 205 lb wolf shot behind the buffalo jump in southern alta10 years ago, officially weighed on certified scales.
I'll try and find the story as it was inthe Fort Mcleod papers at the time.

I'll have to ask him. It's kind of conflicting. I found 175lbs in Alaska on a few internet sites, In Wild Furbearer Management and Conservation in North America it lists 176lbs, but that from sometime before 1944. There doesn't seem to be any one widespread standard for wolves.

Footage of the kill and previous trail cam pics I got will be on Wild TV this Sunday July 12th at 7:30pm

Tundra Monkey 07-11-2009 12:08 PM

Thanx Man.....can't wait to see it!!!

Congrats to you and a fine wolf.....never seen one like it :cool:

Tundra Monkey 07-11-2009 12:11 PM

I'm showing "Deer and Deer Hunting TV" at 7:30pm tomorrow night.

Is this the correct show??

Houston270 07-11-2009 12:17 PM

We were told 7;30 sunday, Grims Monster Mix has teamed up with the Hunting Chronicles on Wild TV so it might be in there time slot.

Houston270 07-11-2009 12:29 PM

I did not make the kill but had been watching the area and got many trail cam pics from a couple months before. Of course I had to work the day it got harvested at one of our Bear baits. I am a Monster Mix pro-staffer so we hunt together all the time. Go to WWW.grimsmonstermix.com for the compleat story and more pics.

Tundra Monkey 07-11-2009 12:30 PM

I screwed up....looked at the AM :ashamed:

Sun 12/07 @ 7:30pm

Hunting Chronicles

All good now :cool:

thanx again.

Bassett 07-11-2009 02:46 PM

Will the video be posted on any other sites? I dont have wild tv but im interested into the wolf:cry:

Houston270 07-11-2009 09:18 PM

it might be posted on the Hunting Chronicles TV shows website in abit, or maybe on the Wild TV website. But im not 100% about those,

timba 07-12-2009 08:30 AM

Big bad wolf
 
just phoned, watch for wolf at 8.30 tonight;)

sheepguide 07-12-2009 08:59 PM

didnt look as big on tv

Houston270 07-13-2009 08:07 AM

ya sorry 2 those who tuned in at 7:30, there waz an error made by the network and it aired at 8:30 in the Hunting Chronicles regular time slot. So I apoligize to those who might have tuned in then saw it was Hunting Canada & Beyond and did not see it at 8:30 when it did air. It is quik but thats how it goes when hunting sometimes. A full mount is being done of the Wolf.

Tundra Monkey 07-14-2009 07:49 PM

Thanx for the heads up....caught it an hour later when Cody Robbins turned into the Hunting Chronicles :confused:

Pretty quick sequence......was it really weighed in at 197lbs!!!

That is huge.....kinda too bad it didn't hit the bait for a couple of minutes....woulda been 200 for sure :lol:

What a melon on it.....maybe one day I'll find one like that!!!!

Gray Wolf 07-14-2009 11:51 PM
