SO! You thought the Idaho Wolves are not that BIG!!! Guess again!
Look at the size of this Wolf compared to the lady. That wolf makes her look small! If this wolf ate her, he would be looking for the main course afterward.
Read the story below the picture. I received this story in an email, and thought it was proof that the Grey Wolf is a big predator.
I am completely impressed with this woman - shooting this wolf with a 4 inch barrel 44mag Wheelgun. Great Going!
Read clear to the bottom, these are the words from the wildlife official that investigated both of these occurrences.
This may interest you. I talked with this young lady yesterday afternoon. This is what she told me: She had been bow hunting using a cow call near Headquarters, Idaho. She changed her position and was crossing an open meadow when the wolf appeared at the edge. It saw her and the wind was blowing directly from her to the wolf. She raised her arms and waved them to catch it's attention, it came straight for her. The bow was dropped and the S&W M-29 44 Magnum was deployed. She made the 1st shot at about 10 feet, hitting it above the left eye. It dropped and changed direction, trying to get away after the shot. She shot it again in the lungs, then a 3rd time in the neck. It took two men to lift it into the pick-up.
She's a tall woman, about 5' 11" and pretty tough. She hunts bear and cougar with hounds - her own hounds! Her husband is a long range shooter and is adept at making 600 plus yard shots. The lady, however, is the one who busts the brush with bow or rifle. The wolf's size comes into perspective when you compare her size to it.
Another report was received this week was from Tim Johnson of Fishhawk Guides in Clarkston, the fellow who donates fishing trips to our Elmer Keith Shoots each year. He reports: "One of my Idaho Outfitter friends hunted a group of out-of-state elk archery hunters from the Great Lakes region last week and they called in a pack of 17 wolves by cow calling. None of the hunters had a sidearm or wolf tag and it was a very traumatic experience as the wolves surrounded the hunters! All hunters went home early very disturbed claiming these wolves are very different from the Great Lakes wolves as they claimed these Idaho wolves actually "Hunt" you and were not afraid!"
Outdoor adventures have definitely taken on new dimensions of excitement. Anyone for berry picking without a sidearm?
