Unless, that's Bill Kazmaier holding up that Wolf, I doubt it's 230lbs.
Boy, I love wolves and would never shoot one. But I'd love this one a lot more with my trusty .308 at my side, especially if his pack were made up of other outsized specimens!
FYI
My dad use to say one wolf won’t kill you but a pack sure would...with the size of that wolf, he’s a pack all by himself....
‘Atsa a lotta wolf tail!

What was the point in killing this wolf? IMO, the wolf in that picture was beautiful. A wolf os such size is rare. I understand killing animals for food or protection (the article doesn’t seem to indicate his life was in danger), but killing for “fun”, I fail to comprehend.
Looks like Fenris finally got off his chain...
“Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.”
Looks like a photo-shopped image to me.

Drayton valley is only about 45 minutes from my place. On my old acreage northwest of Edmonton I used to get a lone wolf showing up time to time. I had a really good look at him a few times and I would easily put him at 150lbs, but this wolf in the picture... wow, that’s a big boy.
Wolves are everywhere again, even in Saskatchewan, a guy was killed by a pack while out for a walk, and the boys who work up north have to worry about the wolves wandering into camp. They lurk about the camp and wait for chances of food to drop, or an unsuspecting person wandering around.

When you right-click on the larger image downthread, the file name suggests it happened in 2009.
Alabama Boy Kills 1,051-Pound Monster Pig, Bigger Than 'Hogzilla"
That wolf would have taken down even Chuck Norris. My goodness, Al Gore beta watch out for that Alpha Male ...
Only one question, how did he pick up and hold a 230lb wolf like that, dead weight is hard to lift, I’m skeptical on this story and photo frankly.
Holy Hanna! That wolf musta bred with a big bear!
