I set out last Saturday afternoon and setup in the thick trees to start calling for lynx. I called for a good 90 seconds and waited about 3 minutes before I started to call again. A short second sound sequence resulted in a loud "crashing noise" that was coming from behind me. With my gun steadied, I looked at my right. Suddenly, I realized he was 25 yards to my left. He started to move and I lip squeeked him and get him to stop. The 223 rang out and dropped him in his tracks. I estimated him to be near 105-110 pounds. Good fur on him.

Yes.  It was my second one.  The first one last year had some lice issues on its belly.  This male was clean.  It was hard getting him out of the area and into the truck.

Spectacular  :bowingsmilie:.  Awesome looking wolf,  geez at 300 yds that would look like a big coyote at fifty, so at 25 I'd  :sick2:.  Good job and feel proud.

Loren,

That is one BIG wolf or at least appears that way to me.  I am sure that you are pumped!  As for the lynx, there is always next weekend.

Wow Loren, what a thrill!  :eyebrow:
What sound were you using?
Thanks so much for sharing that w/ us!  :biggrin:

Jerry,

This weekend is the last one for Lynx.  Going to give it one more try.  I was using a snowshoe hare sound.  I was also using the Mojo Pup which held his attention long enough to set the scope on him.
