Photo: Biggest Wolf Ever?
Woke up to this: Mike, you sure you want to sit outside in a ground blind in Canada anymore? WOW!!!! Not sure if this is true or accurate but what an animal. This Wolf was supposedly shot in Drayton Valley, Alberta, and weighed over 230 lbs., smashing the previous record of 175 lbs.
I don't know what to make of this, could it possibly be so? Something doesn't look right, but hell you never know. Anybody seen this before, this type photo flies around the Web fast. comment
if it is true there will be more pics......
interesting
will be nice to hear "the rest of the story"
that guy is a power lifter !......Its a nice wolf but no record......Just like that texas cougar carrying the eight point a buddy sent that
too me saying a guy told him it was taken 5 miles from where I live...I just laughed.....some people have too much time on their hands.
Fake ...
I beileve the story was Western Saskatchewan and 250 lbs.
Somebody needs a little more to do during the daylight hours.
By the way, I got the cougar pic sent to me last week saying that it was from NC! Hah! You can tell it was taken in Texas at first glance.
Cody
and the 230 pound wolf... if you look at the new big buck magazine its in there it is a 170-80 bound wolf. the guy that shot it will take anyone who pays him to go hunt one. any arguments now...?
photo looks real enough, good on you!
& the person below me; wtf his leg is behind the tail stupid ass.
You shouldn't kill animals just to make yourself look like a tough guy, because it's actually really pathetic.
& as for the comment below about the guy having one leg?
If you look where the wolves tail is you can see the guys other leg.
It is the size of the man holding it up that is smaller than normal, making the wolf seem overlarge.
The human is about 5'-4" tall, I bet. Ask him for pete's sake...
"City people" who live in areas where this has happened do see the animals coming into what used to be their homes, looking for food. They aren't necessarily looking to eat Junior, but they might take out Fluffy if they are hungry enough.
BTW--for the fool who said God put animals on Earth for us to kill-WRONG! Originally the animals and the people were supposed to live in harmony until MAN sinned. But, even then, God never said to go out and kill for the hell of it. As I alluded to above, God said animals were to be used for one's NEEDS, not for recreation.
The wolves are not wasted, though they are not eaten as such. Their fur is used for Parka Ruffs and to make warm clothing. Come out here at 50 below zero and then tell me how shameful you think it is.
of this huge shark coming out of the SanFrancisco Bay and attacking a helicopter?
You just killed a lot of animais, your sucker.. haven't you ever done sex? it's much better then hunting
live out his natural life. God created him for a reason, and for those that are saying kill or be killed. I have lived in the country all of my life,
wolves, bear, deer, moose etc are a part of life for alot of people everywhere in the world, you teach your children to RESPECT nature and learn
the dangers and the beauty of every animal. pictures are worth a thousand words. take pictures and leave nature to take of nature!!
just right of his shin? Also just right of this little creature, you will see three rectangles. And something else
very lightly. I used no special equipment to see these marking. Just the magnifier that came with my windows XP.
IMO the photo of the wolf was taken laying down with its head propped up.
A few give aways are.....
The guys leg is missing. Even if it is not a wolf that size would weigh more than 175#.
The guy probably weighs 195. A wolf with a head and belly that large would weigh more like
250-300#. I weigh 225 and I know I could not hold up a dead animal that big with one leg behind the other.
just between the legs and tail are much lighter than the surrounding grass.
The tail drills into the ground.
I would think it should be flopped over of something.
The right front leg does not look right. Shouldnt it be more flopped down.
Looks like an animal laying dead on the ground.
That thing in the photo is about the size of an extinct dire wolf or maybe a bit bigger.
Guess it could be possible freak of nature, but I doubt it.
Jim Grimolfson shot the black wolf in Alberta, Canada.The wolf weighed in at 197 pounds, close to the new world record.
The photo is genuine as is the story.
Congrats to Jim!!
I would say its a fake, if you look some of the photo is very crisp (parts of the grass) and some are very low res (the trees) so that right there tells me its a composite, than look at the inside of the tail, looks kinda nice and neat, as oppose to the fluffy outer tail. Finally look at the inner paw and his elbow&it looks blurred, you should & See u should be more able to make out whats going on there, you cant tell if its going over his arm or under. Thats just my thoughts on it. Plus if it was real, what a dumb ass for killing it&

You sir are the loser... you are a disgrase to the human race.... I would love to hunt you down.......
sick. and guess what its not the biggest wolf ever if its DEAD! this is sick and that wolf should have lived. do you even realize that it
could have had cubs and you could have MURDERED a whole family of beatiful wolves. you make me sick! are you just going to start
going out and killing beatiful women? because this was a beatiful animal and you killed it? humans ARE animals. some more than others
if you get my drift!!!!!! >=(
kill animals. I am so sick of people thinking they are the only thing on this planet that matters, that we have the right to slaughter, destroy
other life forms will nilly just cuz it's fun to kill. children? Oh please. There are far too many humans on planet earth
and not enough wolves. humans are everywhere, stacked on top of one another, and wolves, bears, tigers,
lions, the other big mammals are dying off , endangered all over the world because we aren't leaving room for
them. They have a right to their share of planet earth.
of a burning building on one of our many calls durning a regular hot summer night
on his hind legs, is my heighth. i am 5'4. he still has about a year to grow too. he only weighs around 70 lbs, but looks huge!!!! wolves in
the wild run constantly, and are really lean. their coat is very dense and makes them look alot larger than they are. the wolf in that pic
is actually one that was brought over from europe to help repopulate the wolves in canada, idaho, montana, and wyoming. he probably
weighed in around 150lbs, but no larger. my wolf is about 2/3 his size. and just so you know, my wolf is the most gentle of creatures.
but never mistake them for a dog, neither in disposition, or in trust. but just like a dog, if provoked, you will pay the consequenses.
You want to save the spotted owl but live in a house made of wood.
You want to save wolf but eat beef, and pay as little as possible for it.
You want cheap electricity and gas, but my god don't drill for it.
You want less humans on earth, good, go kill yourselves! you morons.
The dick heads that think hunters don't eat there kills are borderline retards. Every state has severe penalties for "waste of game animals"
97% of all the money used for wolf reintroduction was provided by sportsman/hunters, not you eco losers and the bird watchers society. The Feds raided the Pittman Robertson funds which come from a tax on guns and ammo.
I love Alaska the bears there have an appetite for eco-freaks who talk to the bears. Why don't you go visit.
should examine pictures a little better before you try to be funny!
1. his leg is not missing it is just behind the wolves tail, you can kind of see the edge of it.
2. the front legs of the wolf is fine the guys arms are under them and just making the arm stick out like that.
impression that the wolf is much longer. Also this is a two dimensional picture misrepresenting a
3 dimensional reality. Placing the wolf in the foreground when taking the picture actually gives the
illusion that the wolf is proportionally much larger than the average size hunter. The Hunter could
also be a small person as others have stated.
the other leg is behind the wolf's bushy tail
ES DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LIVE UP NORTH....BULL CRAP I HAVE LIVED IN MONT. MY WHOLE LIFE AND M A HUNTER, ND WOULD NEVER SHOOT A WOLF
JUST TO SHOOT IT..IF YOUR THAT SCARED OF A WOLF GOING TO EAT YOURS KIDS THEN MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN THE NORTH LAND
OR WHERE THERE R WOLF'S. NO CASES OF A WOLF KILLING A KID ANYWHERE EVER..IF YOUR GOING TO B IN THE MTS. OR WOODS YOUR GOING
TO SEE SOME KIND OF WILD LIFE CAN'T SHOOT EVERYTHING YOUR SCARED OF.IF YOU NEED TO SHOOT SOMETHNG FOR FOOD GO FOR IT.. BUT NOT
TO SAAY LOOK WHAT I SHOT IT MIGHT HAVE EATIN MY GRANDKIDS SO I HAD TO SHOOT IT..AND IF YOUR GOING TO RAISE LIVE STOCK IN A AREA
WHERE THERE R WOLF'S AND BEARS YOU R GOING TO LOSE 1 ONCE IN AWHILE IF U DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN RAISE THEM WHERE THERE IS NO WILD
LIFE.. COME ON R U GUYS REALLY THAT DUMB?? THAT SCARED OF EVERYTHING??
" no one knows how stupid you are till you open your mouth"
I find it very disterbing and sad that wolves are hunted for sport! I do except the fact that wolves can and will attack humans and live stock for several reasons. But in short, the Grey Wolf is on the verg of being extinct. Montana is allowing Grey Wolves to be hunted without limits and at anytime of the year! Disspite this FACT!!!! These animals should be protected and the government should only allow them to be hunted during a designated hunting season. Limits need to be enforced and hunters should be prossecuted for killing them outside these laws. I'm not saying that we don't protect ourselves and families if by chance one finds themselves in the unfortunate posission of being the pray of a pack! By all means, shoot to kill!!
But killing Wolves for sport serves no purpose. Unless one has a self esteem issue or is just blood thirsty to kill Wolves to feel better about themselves....
In that case find a Dr. or join the military. We are in several wars/conflicts that could satisfy your blood thirsty apatite!
But I'm sure such weak minded people would rather kill Wolves. Wolves don't shoot back......
In closing, I hope we can stop the wolves from becoming extinct.
Like I said before I am a hunter, but I don't take from the land what I don't eat!!
I also own and have raised Grey and Tember Wolves as part of my family....
They were used by my ancestors as pets and for work many years ago. My first Wolf was the protector of my children from the first day I brought them home from the hospital....
So don't think they can't be a man's best friend!! After all, they were here before we got here!
If this wolf didn't pose a threat to this man in the photo I have to question his motives and manhood....
Please help save the Wolves......
