Trick is to be confident in your rifle and ability.

I’ve shot a couple wolves with my 30-06 using a 165 gr bullet at 150 yards. Dropped them both in their tracks, laid there for 10-20 seconds, one got up and ran 20 yards into the bush then expired the second one went several hundred yards into the bush.

Wolves are tough and will surprise you what their capable of once they’ve been shot.
AO member Popcan uses a 270WSM and he has had some wolves take off after good lung hits!
