Chip shot, but is on the other side of the trees? If I know what is behind him, He is a full head wall rug.

[Dillershortbow]

He`s a rug in front of the fireplace.

[sniper]

Hey now guys,thats my wolf your about to shot,go ahead tho he,s been hanging around my bear bait.p.s he still in his spring coat he'll make for a ugly rug.

[Taxman]

Has there been a monthly thread yet when I haven't said:

BOOM!

Assuming of course that I know the backdrop is safe.

That my friends is a Dead Dog ...

If I am hunting that spot I allready know whats there behind him

[ACC3-28]

Naaa, let him walk. We need more wolves in our ecosystems as predators. I'd rather have him than a coyote or a fox. I would have taken a picture just like the guy who took this one, and put that on my wall. :D

[LadyArcher]

I will let him walk away...my beliefs are shoot only what you eat.....but thats me:)

[Milo]

If it is winter and his coat was good, and the backdrop is safe, BOOM! If I had my bow ide send an arrow that way too.

As all you bow hunters know and rifle hunters should know as well, when a critter is looking towards you it is usually best NOT TO MOVE. If my "high powered rifle" is in my hands, loaded and ready to shoot and pointed towards the wolf I may take the shot right away. If the gun is in my lap and it will take much time and movement to get into shooting position(and it doesn't tke much time to spook an alert animal) I will wait till I have the opportunity to do so when he looks away.

I almost always have a deer call or two in my pocket so if he were to head off into the bush I could probably bring him back for a shot with a few fawn distress calls.

That is what I used to bring these two "BIG BAD GUYS" in to .300 savage range.

I'm with you Lady Archer . If I shoot it I eat it. :)

[duffy4]

The one on the right was kind of tough but the one on the left wasn't bad. They both tasted like white-tails and moose which is what they had probably been eating a lot of.

Robin down under ; where ther are no wolves and the kangas don't mind a bit.

[Wapiti]

I would take the shot BOOM

[camel]

Done For,All Over,Lights Out!!!So long as I know there is nothing in the background like houses or roads,etc.
