First one on record with a bow…
« on: October 18, 2011, 02:31:52 PM »
Just got this by email, not sure I believe the weight of the wolf, but it appears it was taken with a bow, and the elk is frickin huge....  :yike:

Hmmm those bows also appear to shoot 48 inch arrows.

Wow, you say that wolf weighed in at 220lbs. Is that about what they all weigh or is that a small one? I assume that elk went about 1500?

I don't buy the 220 pounds either, I think it's un usual for one to weigh more than 130 unless it has a belly full of meat. But it still looks like a big wolf and a hell-of-an-elk....  :chuckle:

Both are danged nice critters. But the wolf is no where near 220lbs, big even for a wolf, but as Bearpaw said, 130 is a very big wolf.  I have a book titled "Alaska's wolf Man" who was a Govt. wolf trapper/killer, in the book the biggest Alaska wolf he'd ever seen was 170lbs.

Thats awesome. Years back a buddy of mine shot one in Alaska with a longbow and he was told by the editor of a magazine (Primitive Archer :dunno:) or one of the other traditional mag's that it was the only one he personally knew of taken with Trad gear.
