My buddys Idaho Deer and Wolf
« on: November 30, 2009, 02:19:59 PM »
I have a friend that is a conservation officer in southern Idaho. HE sent me theses pictices though I would share.

I think he got both of these in unit 51 not sure thought. Was hunting for deer when this alpha male popped out across the caynon 7mm ultramag did the trick.


Hunted his butt off for the deer covered over a 100 miles on foot in 7 days to harvest this buck 28" wide should score in the 170s.

Too bad more "conservation officers" from this state don't share the same enthusiasm as you friend... He did more for his hunting area by killing one wolf during hunting season than he knows!  ;)

Great deer, but just freaky how big wolves can get. Wow!!!  The damage that wolf must have done to the herds in that area is scary to think of.   

At least some states realize the importance of management of predators....

that wolf looks bigger than some of the black bears I see getting shot, I didnt realize they were that big. I can only imagine how many deer, elk and livestock that thing has killed!

The funny thing is wolves are not as big as most people think. How much do you think this one weighted? You will be surprised!!!
