[QUOTE="Billy w, post: 653894, member: 40423"] The first wolf I killed in Idaho I howled in to 80 yards and dropped it with my 22.250. Thats when wolves were laying around like ferrell dogs, alot has changed since then. In my part of the country the Feds have shot at them from helicopters, the government hunters have been using calls and traps for years now. What I'm seeing is the wolf is alot smarter animal than it was 4 years ago. I will only hunt with my custom Rem 7MM topped with a nightforce 5x 22- NXS. In Feb. I called a big Alfa male, the closet I could get was 620 yards, he was sitting in the sage facing me, the angle was extreme uphill. I shot and hit him, he bled alot at first and I ended up tracking him for 2 more days. I finally pulled off he was climbing straight uphill and not bleeding much anymore. 5 days later I was in the same drainage and cut a big set of wolf tracks I set up in the timber and called for about 35 minutes, I slowly turned my head and 20 yards behind me the wolf was standing there stairing at me. After about 30 seconds I slowly raised my 7mm and shot him in the chest. On inspection of the wolf he had a hole in his chest and a big hole in his left femor from my first shot. I hope not to miss the the first long shot next time because I will be using my new G7 range finder, and I really don't care how big the hole is in the hide I'm not hunting wolves to sell the hide. Long or short range I will be using my 7MM. Good luck and hunt hard. [/QUOTE]
