New world record wolf in Alberta?

[Lazy Ike]

Big wolf, little man not shopped.

the photo in the NAHC mag looks pretty darn real.

Grimolfson runs White Claw Outfitters, there's other pics on his site:

Doctored picture?

My guess from examining the picture is that it is. The head of the hunter is in the sun .... sunglasses with shadows below the peak of the cap yet no shadows anywhere else in the picture.

Also, the left shoulder of the wolf does not look natural in shape or position.

And of course, lots of background info on the internet on this and other similar claims of a record wolf.

Just use Google Search and search for "new world record wolf".

This case is not unique as I keep on getting these e-mails from friends with record animals from all over with the story repeated year after year with a different location each time but with the same picture.

One of the best going around is the 400 lb deer killed in NB, Maine and various other States.

I see a shadow coming off the hunter/wolf....?

Also that big deer pic is real. It's from a disgusting game farm in wisconsin

Go to their trophy gallery section, you'll find it in there with all there other grotesque mutant looking, freak deers that people pay unreal amounts of money to hunt. It's not a natural deer! But the pic is legit.

I'm quite aware of the source of the deer picture but the setting is what is fictitious such as New Brunswick, etc.

As far as the wolf, such a feat (world record) would have received wide spread circulation and none can be found from any reliable sources, etc.

Just did a little search myself.

They had the wolf kill on video, it aired on the TV show hunting chronicles on July12, 2009 on Wild TV, where it weighed in at 197lbs.

also
h ttp://www.grimsmonstermix.com/ was the bait used and they reference(with pics) this wolf and the fact it was lured in with their bait.

So, based on your research, was it killed in Wyoming or Alberta or some place else. I'm not saying that what is in the picture is not real except that I have a hard time to believe some of the background claims.

And this is especially true of something coming from a lure/bait supplier The same applies to discussion forums where you have to take a lot of the claims with a grain of salt.

I received this email about 5 weeks ago and yes it did say it was 230lbs. Still...197lbs is one hell of a wolf....would love this skin hanging on my wall.

its a legit photo. Last I heard it was a pending world record. Should be enough time now to tell if its going to be a record or not. Friggin thing is a monster though, big moose killer.

Pending World record for weight?
Who keeps these?
The only records Ii really know or look at, are B&C, and they go by skull size.
