Now, if you live in Oregon or Washington then I would advise you to be on the watch for what you will see in the video. I would also be very cautious of anything you hear from those who claim the wolves are harmless, they kill only what they eat, and those who are complaining are just greedy and want no competition for the overpopulated game they are hunting.
Finally, beware of the wolves in sheep's clothing, who are trying to sell you on the idea that wolves in the lower 48 are an endangered species. They are not. The only thing that is truly endangered is the freedom of those who would rather live their lives without Big Brother always screwing things up.

7mm-08, a skinning knife and a sewing machine would recycle those coats into something warm and useful.
Check out this video of the Largest Wolf Pack Ever Found in Oregon ....

I saw a coat with a coyote collar. It was very nice. Wolf would likely make a lovely coat.
If these wolves were to try to start a lemonade stand, they’d be taken out by the Oregonocrats.
Those poor misunderstood, hungry, wolves need their own Timothy Treadwell.
.45 hollow points. 6 full mags + one chambered
All we need to do is reintroduce all the cuddly lovable little puppies into the Bay Area and watch the left become big game hunters over night.
More patience than me. I'd vote for a M1917 on a tripod with cloth belts and alot of .30-06 ;)
Just for clarity, the picture was taken in 2009, how big is that pack presently?
I understand that they are predators, etc. What I’m about to say is probably not going to fly on this forum, but I need to say it. By-the-way, I am a Conservative, and not a tree hugger with a ranch background. Animals have the number of young that can be sustained. If the food source is abundant there are more. In years when the source is scarce, the birth rate is lower. Leave nature to it’s devices. Trying to “fix” this is like the liberals trying to “fix” the climate. In the cases of predators (wolves, coyotes, or feral dogs) who get the taste of blood, then you guard your animals. You take measures. But you don’t assume that it is going to happen just because you hear them in the area at night.
Man killing wolf IS nature taking it’s course.
Humans have always thinned animals populations as needed.

From a biological standpoint, that is a beautiful photo. Wolves are spectacular to look at.
That being said...they are the a$$holes of the animal world. They are vicious apex hunters who kill for fun. They get their food by scavenging.
A couple of puppies, the usual H&K. and an AK clone, with a pair of thirty rounders, when I hit the back 20.
Trained with the AR, and have a couple carbines kicking around, but I like heavy bullets for short range work. The inaccuracy of the AK makes no difference at all at fifty yards...
7mm-08... my favorite.
And no they do not just kill what they eat. They are wild dogs and dogs kill for fun all the time.
Use to watch bears swipe dozens of pink salmon a day out of rivers in AK and only eat their brains. Their brains are about a tablespoon. Carnivores are very wasteful when there is a bounty.
What is it that allows you to believe that humans are not part of the nature system? As top predator it is our choice to allow certain populations to increase while others decrease. That is how nature functions, not by some unicorn myth about man getting out of the way so nature can do its thing.
