Up here, they weigh about 90 lbs and are smarter than you think. Had one try to entice me to follow him over a small knoll where all his pack was waiting for me in the dead of winter. I have seen them bait male dogs with the female pack members so they can get a meal. When hunting them I use a .243 Ruger bolt gun and a 12 gauge shotgun with 000 buck shot just in case all his buddies show up.

Not sure where you got your info, but the Red wolf has a great population in Algonquin park and I have seen them a number of times moose hunting.
I've been hunting for 10 years in an area with a very healthy wolf population and have seen exactly 2 wolves while hunting, ever. Those were together, running across a field by the time I realized that they weren't the neighbor's Huskies.
My only advice is, practice shooting so that when that 2-second opportunity comes along, you'll be able to make the most of it.
Good luck, and if you get one be sure to post pics.

Have heard stories similiar to yours and thought the guys were just slinging BS. Not any more. Man that is some scary to think what he was up to.
Thanks for sharing
I used to hunt wolves on full moon nights over a gut pile. Sometimes you sit for hours before they show up sometimes it's a no show and sometimes you score. I learned to pattern them on the moon and hunted accordingly.( I am the first to admit this is shooting not hunting) And before we get into legal part I passed this with the MNR. As long as there was no artificial source of light it was fine.This was how I paid for my winter heat. This may be different in other places.

I will share a little more on that incident. The wolf was a beautiful all black one and large a really nice trophy! Up north on the Dempster Highway there is a place called the horseshoe and the wolf was on the wrong side of the road. Both sides are controlled by different Native tribes, and I had permission for the wrong side that day. I tried to entice Mr. Wolf to chase me or at least come a little closer to the road. He just looked at me, for well over 5 minutes while I was acting like a jack a$$ trying to get him to move, I even broke out the cooler for a nice big piece of Caribou sausage and even took a bite while he watched me. Then when he realized that I was not moving closer to him he just turned around and walked over the knoll. I drove around the road to get a back view of where he was heading and could see the whole pack, 6 in total. I knew then what he was up to and how smart they really are. I really thought I could entice him to come closer with that Caribou sausage.........He did not fall for it and I checked back to see if he would stray onto the other side of the road over the next few days, but did not see him again.

It's absolutely hunting, no need to make apologies. No different than hunting any other animal over a food source. Deer on alfalfa fields are there for the same reason. Nice picture as well, perfect for a 22-250 between the ribs.

or is he pulling the vehicle to a bait pile.
Ya I guess it's hunting sure can get cold just sitting and waiting. My gut pile was set at 250 yrds. on a lake in front of my house.As terrible as it sounds the best bait for wolves that I ever used was dead dogs that were picked up at the dump.Rifle was a HB Parker Hale .243 with a 8x56 Pecar scope and 90 grn. Hor. FMJ 1 through the ribs and no one made it off the lake. Most showed up between 11 pm and 2 am.As for the bear on the bumper I think that when these bears are on land they are bored silly so we and our truck are just entertainment for them.I do leave the tail gate down and the door on the cap open so they can get into the back of the truck without smashing the cap to crap. This youngster showed up in the yard in August.
