Default Wolf tag? What do I do with a wolf?

This goes along with my upcoming moose hunt. I also have a wolf tag for this hunt. For a moose, I know what I can do with that. What do I do with a wolf if I shoot it? I know I can use the pelt, but even then what do I do with the pelt?

Tan the hide or pick your preferred form of taxidermy

I would not recommend eating them but if you are feeling adventurous that could be an option

They are smart buggers and don’t show them selves often but you may get your chance. Guys get a random wolf on big game hunts at times

The same thing would you do with the antlers from a moose.
Trophy/memento, crafts, sell....


PLUS, sleep well knowing you helped the moose population.

If you have the opportunity at a wolf, take it.

You might be able to sell the hide. What about a scull mount. My friend has a full body mount that looks great.

Makes a nice head mount as well, consider yourself lucky if you get one. Bleached skull is awesome.

I don’t think I can bring an “unfinished” wolf head back across the border. And I can’t stick around long enough to have it processed by a taxidermist. It’s probably an exercise in futility as I understand that I probably won’t even see one.

You can always drop it off with an Alberta taxidermist and have them ship it to you later

Wolves in Alberta require a cites permit to be exported so you won't be able to take it back across the border and it takes time but typically an outfitter or taxidermist will do the work to get the permit and ship it to you
