My doctor friend has owned 50 acres in the vicinity of Polebridge Montana for going on 20 years, near Glacier, he shot this wolf last year in three feet of snow over a recent elk kill, he used my Thompson Center Venture in 204. I sighted it in for him at 200 yards with Hornady 45 grain soft point. This doctor can shoot , and that's a fact he hit this male about 8 inches north of the left elbow, the wolf was with 2 others, he shot the biggest, upon impact the wolf floundered wildly in the deep snow about 50 yards and keeled over. When he went up to him his eyes were unresponsive to touching, the 45 grain almost exited the other side but lacking doing so about 4 inches. Destroyed both lungs, the doc is calling the shot at about 75 yards no more, no less. I can't wait till I head up there . Just got him back from the taxidermist a year later. The wolves were in the clearing , that clearing houses everything wolves coyotes, grizzly, moose, elk you name it. I'm trying to download the grizzly video, those pictures were late in April this year.

Don't y'all just hate people that kill wolves? Hey, I don't even remember anybody inviting me along to kill my own wolf. Were any of you guys invited? I think that wolf had my name on it. Heckfire, that might have been your wolf. Guess we will never know now.
Beautiful wolf. Lucky Doc.
 
That is a nice looking wolf. One day I would like to have a black one, a tan one, a white one ........ all mounts or rugs, and not eating the moose and elk. I will settle for what I can get.
I'll be heading there soon , hopefully , I plan on taking my 204 and will drop a wolf with it, in the clearing 100 yards would be the range.
Probably will call over bait I'm guessing.
