Well i just got back from my wolf hunt so i thought id share my experience with you. What a tough and grueling hunt first off! Definitely not for someone that does not whole heartedly want to get a wolf no matter what it takes. Sat some long cold boring days but it payed off substantially! What a rush to watch such an amazing killing machine at less than 100 yards from you! I ended up taking my Mcwhorter precision 6.5x47 lapua shooting the 140 berger vld hunting. I put the first shot right in the bullseye through both front shoulders. It anchored her instantly but she was able to still lift her head for another 5 minutes or so, which was too long for me so i gave her another. First shot through both shoulders the exit hole was only a little bigger that a quarter, but second shot exit was bigger than a grapefruit. Im sure the first shot would have been enough but i did not want to take the chance of the wolf getting up and running. Nice female gray timberwolf, weighed 80 pounds. So happy to bring home such a beautiful wolf, and what an experience! Caught my limit of perch to with a 12.5" 12" and 11.5" perch! What a fun week! Thank you Corey Hayward with Beartrak Outfitters!
