Big Predators any way... Hunting wolf

;D
In the dark and steady drizzle, we started to the "Front". A
couple hours later we're putting on our camo and loading the
guns, where heading on a Wolf hunt. The forecast was for 60 MPH+
winds and snow but what the heck we are on a wolf hunt.Boy am I
glad the wind staid down for most of the day, the rain was
enough to handle and the 33* didn't make it any better.We have
never "hunted" wolf and I have never SEEN a wolf up were we
where hunting but I Know there there so we pressed on. First
stand this is the view as the sun came up.

We called there for about an hour . No elk,deer,or wolf.
The next two stands were blank too.

The forth was a little better,the rain let up and was kind of
nice. We split up about 100 yards and where looking in different
directions when I here My daughter in law work the action on
here 243, a very distinctive sound. I froze and braced for the
shot,and it came. The 243 report echoed in the calm mountain air
like a canon. I swung my gun around hoping to see a pack of
wolfs running in my direction,Nutten,WHAT?
I set very still not knowing the why for yet and about pucked
with anticipation.
In what felt like and hour,5 minuets, she stands up and
proclaimed "I got it" . What? where? was there more? I Need to
know NOW!!!! I said in my head.
She slowly and calmly walked out 75 yards and hoisted this LARGE
Beautiful-------Coyote,Humm.
I gave her a Big thumbs up and let out a big shiver, I just KNEW
we had our first WOLF. I didn't want to let her see I was a
little disappointed ,as she was just Beaming. We Never turn down
a coyote and as it turned out she did the right thing . Her
coyote was the only thing we saw that we could shot. and hay we
will put it toward the four wheeler fund like all the other fur
we get.

Now I know here we get a big jaded but the rest of the hunt all
we ran across was sheep. I like looking at sheep but there just
another sheep. Take a look at some of them ,great for viewing
but no wolf.

next trip out.

Enjoyed reading your post. I've never seen a wolf in the wild
but did hear some in Minnisota back in the 80's. Sent chills
down my spine. Nice pictures of the rams. Congrats to your
daughter on the yote.

I too have never had the privilege to see a wolf in the wild.
That would be a rush indeed.
