I first saw this photo tonight while reading the current issue of the NAHC magazine (though the pic I'm posting is from Alberta Outdoorsmen forum):
bigbadwolf.jpg


The story in NAHC says the hunter is Jim Johnston, and the was story submitted by Jeff Grimolfson; the AB Outdoorsman reports the wolf was shot near Drayton Valley.

I guess there's an email going around that this bruiser tipped the scales at 230, but the report in NAHC, submitted by one of the guys who was there, says 197. It will be close to a new world record.
 
Can we just get photoshop marked as a censored word. It seems as if anything outside of normal is just called photoshop these days. The pic is legit.A reputable friend who is at my house this weekend worked with the shooter at the time. He showed me the pic before the internet got ahold of it and twisted things around.

Was also in big buck an issue or two back.
 
Photoshopped is internet speak for "I'm jelous".
When you see a pic of a woman with biiiiiig lungs,
you know that realistically you will NEVER get her or one like her
(because you are not a rock star, nor hockey player, etc,
you've got no money, you are unemployed,
you've got mortgage, you have a small ####, etc).

Then, you say something like:
that chick with those huuuuge boobs.... that's fukken photoshopped.





The same goes for gun pictures.
If the gun showed has more ### appeal than your pos garand,
then you reply "airsoft".

Yea I agree that the "Photoshopped" opinion gets used too often, however:

- there are some that have been "Photoshopped";
- if not that, then the old trick of taking the photo from below, or with the human several feet behind the animal, can mess with the photo's perspective and make us sceptical about the "500 lb deer";
- it's often a recycled photo from several years ago that gets re-posted with a different story; and
- often no name is given, but several people will say "I know the guy" (but can't reveal his name) and the stories differ......

What do you expect? Provide solid proof with a name, place, and confirmed measurements from a reputable source, and you won't get the claims that it's a fake.

Why are all Bigfoot and UFO photos poor in quality, and be taken by residents of trailer parks with mental health or substance abuse problems? Now I'm off topic.....

x2!
 
I don't think its photoshopped. they do get that big. my friends dad got one on his farm a few years back. weighed 186lbs, it looked that big. 196lbs is believable, 230 sounds like it could be a slight exaggeration. anyway, heard it got poisoned, not shot?
