This wolf was called in by my guide after we spotted him going over a ridge. Huge alpha male - you can see his size. A great trophy for me, and it’ll probably save several moose and caribou calves this winter. One shot at 320 yds.

Moose: I'm really disappointed because he's not as large as I wanted. The guide seriously misjudged his size but once he was down, it was too late. Interesting hunt however. After the first shot, he laid down almost immediately and never got up. We watched for an hour and he didn't move except his head. I took a second shot and again no reaction whatsoever, so we assume my first shot had broken his spine...

We approached and as we rounded some small spruce trees, we found him bedded down. I then approached, thinking of delivering a final shot. I got up within 10 feet of him, when he immediately sprung up and charged. Firing from the hip, I hit him square in the chest and he fell. His head was 5 feet from where I stood. No, I did not have to change my pants, but it sure was exciting.

A side note, the grizzly was taken the day before my scheduled dates. My guide and I accompanied another hunter who was looking for a bear and we tagged along hoping to find a caribou. The next day, I took the wolf. The following day I shot the moose. And the next hunting day after that, my caribou. How's that for being lucky?
