 Man that is awesome. I would have to have a change of clothes with me if i called one of those within 25 yards of me around here. Especially if i was expecting to see a coyote :fingerx:

To be honest, I tried to use my Coyote Carrier.  My thought was to put both ends around one foot and drag him out.  I couldnt get the dam loops around his paws, too big.  I am building one that will haul wolves and bears now. 

Todd,

I got pre and post footage of the hunt.  I will get it edited and posted.  It gives you an idea of how close he was when I dropped him.

You might be better served to make a couple of back pack straps.  :biggrin:

wolf at 25 yards. his fur may have been in good shape but im not sure my under wear would have!  :laf:

Whew, I don't know if I'd feel comfortable just packing a .223 with monsters like that running around. Nice wolf though, must be wonderful to hunt in a place where it's legal to take them. We're note allowed to shoot them in WI - you only get to watch them take your cattle and kill the neighborhood pets.

You guys don't give the 223 enough credit.  Properly placed bullets will do their job.  Physical body size is no bigger than a deer.  This is my second wolf to fall to this round.  I have shot coyotes with a 6mm and put a bad shot on them, never to be found.  Although, I do not recommend you carry a 223 when the brown bear are out.

I couldn't agree more with you, Loren, about the 223.  I see people who don't hesitate to recommend a 22-250 for coyotes but frown on the 223, even though they may be shooting the same bullet in the two.  A lot of them go for the speed of a lighter bullet where the heavier bullets have more knock down power.  Congrats again on the great wolf kill.

Good job Loren.  Thanks for all the posts from Alaska.  I appreciate it very much.  I was fortunate to spend 5 weeks up there during the summer of 82.  I did not hunt but had a great time catching halibut, salmon and grayling.  I loved that Kenai peninsula....beautiful country.  I hope you get another lynx on your next try.
