Wolf
The great Canis Lupus! The largest most cunning member of the dog family. In my opinion, the wolf is the ultimate North American trophy!
Chasing this elusive animal during the winter months is a GREAT excuse to get out of the office and have some fun!
These ghosts of the forest are a real challenge to harvest and make a great trophy! They come in a variety of colors from white to black and every shade of gray in between. A wolf can weigh anywhere from 70 pounds to 175 pounds, but rarely exceed 120 pounds. This one pictured at left, weighed in at an amazing 140 pounds! A real monster!
Wingmaster Outfitting offers winter wolf hunts in November, December and sometimes into January and February. Hunting is done from insulated, heated blinds over bait. Most blinds are raised off the ground to offer great fields of view. Baits are kept fresh with meat scraps from the very kind folks at the local butcher shops, and whatever other scraps I can find. You will stay at the house and be fed big home cooked meals everyday and have your lunches packed and ready for you when you head out the door in the morning. Your guide will drop you off at the blind with the best wolf sign in the morning and pick you up with the snowmobile, quad or truck in the evening. Calling for wolves will also be available if the conditions are favorable.
It takes a lot of patience and mental strength to sit in a blind for 6 days straight from sunup to sundown, but if you put your time in and stay attentive, chances are you will get a shot at a wolf. This hunt is not for everyone and hunters should come mentally prepared to put in the hours it takes to shoot a wolf. Sometimes it happens on the first day, other times on the last day, so staying alert for the entire hunt is key. I have done a lot of calling for wolves, but by far the most consistent way of killing wolves is over bait. I have managed to keep a slightly better then 70% success rate for my hunters, quite a few hunters have taken more then one wolf and that is not counted into the overall success rate.
When choosing a caliber with which to shoot the wolf, always choose cartridge with adequate knockdown power. anything from the .243 and upwards will work fine. A wolf is a tough animal with a very strong will to live so any wolf hit wrong or with to small of a caliber will not end up in your trophy room. My preference for wolves is the .270 win mag.
