I shot a small timber wolf while deer hunting this year. A female, 72 lbs.
The pelt turned out really nice and is 6'6" hanging.

Me and my wife were sitting in a blind at the intersection of two trails at midday.
We were both looking down the trail to our left and caught movement in front of us.
She had popped out on the trail at about 75 yds.
..."deer...nope wolf...cover your ears"

I used to hunt well shoot wolves over a bait pile , not really hunting. I would do this on full moon nights about 5 days a month if the sky was clear. Shots were a measured 275 yrds. on a lake. Rifle a Parker Hale heavy brl. .243. with 100 gr. SP = DRT. It paid for the heat in my house for the winters. And before we get into legality of it it was legal where I was.
 
4 wolves had pushed a cow moose onto the fresh ice across the lk from my place, she fell through and was stuck in 5-6 feet of water with wolves on the shore. I shimmied my canoe across the 100’ of ice on my shoreline, canoed across and nosed the canoe into the ice not far from the cow moose. A couple howl’s and this guy came out to look, the 300 Wm made the canoe rock a little lol. I had to canoe about a km down the lake to find a spot I could get to shore, then fought swamp grass and 10” of snow back to get my wolf, then drug him back to the canoe. He was too big to reslly msn handle, so I made a makeshift handle with a thick stick and my belt. I think the last 100 yards to the canoe my pants were around my ankles.



This was my first wolf. It’s a story that most won’t believe, but I do have it wrote out for anyone who’d like a story to read. 14 wolves, 3 bullets and learning “I froze” is a true thing. Shot at 10-15 yards in the chest with a .280 rem.



This one I had a bait pile on my trapline, the crows were in the trees so I figured wolves were on the bait. I got set up in some 6’-8’ tall second growth and turned the e call on rabbit in distress and placed it between my feet. Another one at 10 yards coming straight at me, this one with a .223 and 45gr vmax. His body cavity looked like a grenade went off inside.



And this one, my gal shot while we were chasing winter goats. We had my tikka 6.5x55 with a 3-9 swarovski on it. I knew I had 36” or so of drop at 450 yards…. No fibbing her with measurements lol.

big wolves and great story , with good shooting
 
I’ve ran plenty of baits. Some with snares around and some with good shooting lanes. Choose a spot where wolves are known to roam, set up the best bait you can find.. Limit human scent. Wait until they’ve fed on it a few times, then be prepared to sit a few times until they slip up.
 
I've never shot a wolf, but I would like to. A friend has a cabin a few hrs north of me, and keeps bugging me to come up to go hunting, one day our schedules will align. I believe you can still buy otc wolf tags for his area so if it ever happens that we get out hunting together I will definitely be grabbing a wolf tag too. Most stories I hear about that area is that they are mostly just a target of opportunity while hunting other game.
