It’s not 200lbs! Like every person says they are  :chuckle:  Unbelievable how big people think wolves are. I talked to a trapper at idfg who has trapped thousands of wolves and the biggest one he’s trapped was 143 lbs in north Idaho

A dead 10 pound wolf pup is a good wolf.

Thanks for posting. I have certainly overestimated/over speculated what I thought wolves might weigh based on that article. I think it was Vandemann who shot a wolf in Idaho and posted it some years ago. I remember thinking that was a 150 pound dog!

I'm sure there's bigger, but think of a 150lb mastiff, and imagine what a 150lb wolf would do to that mastiff. Let along a 200 lb person. That's a scary animal especially in a pack.

They definitely look bigger in person.  I have been within 60-80 yards of a pack feeding on a cow elk they just killed.  I guess in looking back they just looked REALLY big, like wow big.  They caught our wind ran off maybe 200 yards and howled at us for the next 30 minutes when we walked up to their kill.
