The bad news is the holes it leaves - it you are a fur hunter - there's probably much better choices.

I guess smaller (or no) exit holes equals a higher chance the wolf will run after getting hit. Trade off I guess.
Rather sew a hole than lose a dog lol
Fur sells for taxidermy purposes mostly anyway at auction
