That's not that big of a wolf, particularly for a Candian wolf.

Here in Idaho, and throughout the Intermountain West, where the Candian Wolves were introduced in the mid 1990s, they have grwon rapidly in numbers.

So bad, that now in Idaho, Wyoming, and other places they now have wolf hunts. And well they should. In the 2011 and 2012 hunts, I know some people who killed wolves well in excess oif 150 lbs. Here are some pictures:





Now those are BIG wolves...and dangerous too.

We have large packs of them here in the mountains. One pack, that ranges 50-100 miles from where I sit right now looks like this:

The damage they do is significant. In addition to depleting dear and elk herds, they cause significant damage to livestcok like cows:

...and sheep:

And, if your dogs are out with you, are you live out in the hills...they kill your dogs too:

The sad thing is, these animals are killing machines. most of the time, they just kill and leave them there. MAny times they do not even eat what they kill.

Jeff, I gotta tellya, I had no idea wolves were so large out in your neck’othe’woods. In Maine, we seem to have developed a coyote-wolf-dog hybrid sort of SOB that, while it’s grey and all that and a small pack can get a moose down, is nowhere near that size. Those are some bear-sized heads!

A couple of them look like small lions.

There’s a wolf pelt in a local gun store here in NM I frequent and I’ve always been amazed at the size of it.

It isn’t half what some of those one’s you posted are.

Holy sh$t!!! I live up in the boonies/mountains and there are two known established packs ‘operating’ about 15-25 miles away from here but none of the locals has seen one of ‘em that goes anywhere near the size of these monsters! Great pics!

By the lower pictures how wasn't Sal Alinsky, Cloward and Piven, Cass Sunstein and Valerie Jarrett not involved? I know I am being obtuse, but how was this not planned to destroy the farmer/rancher who is usually an independent thinker and is not afraid to thumb his nose at Washington only to be nudged by enviro weenies from DC and their minions try to destroy him by taking away his tools, i.e. his way to make a living...

I am glad we don’t have to contend with wolves here. You’re right. They are NOT cute puppy dogs.
Coyotes cause that problem here. They invade our dairy farms and have taken family pets. I wouldn’t put it past them to snatch a kid.

Coyotes are ‘shoot on sight’ around here.

My wife got mad when I told her we were going to kill some coyotes. She said “oh no... they are pretty... yadda yadda”

I said “they ate some of Jarmin’s baby lambs and calfs”.

She said “KILL THEM!!”

Are all those pics from the same website? If so, could you post it for me? I saw one quite a while back with similar pics but I couldn’t find it again.
