I’ve heard some of the wolves in the American west are up near 200 lbs. I would agree the .223 is a little light for those.

The original little 80 - 100 lb American wolf no longer exists. The wolves which the environmental lunatics have been “re-introducing” into the south 48 are the 150 - 200 lb Canadian variety.

Are they that heavy?!! I’m trying to put it in a perspective that I would understand... for example, my GSD is between 100-110 pounds. So, are Western wolves the size of Mastiffs or do they carry the weight differently?

Yellowstone has done a great study of wolves. They weigh every wolf they capture to radio collar, transport or whatever. The heaviest on record is 141 lbs. The average male is actually under 100 lbs.Females are lighter.
