It was a pretty exciting day for sure. Over the last 3 winters I've ridden over 2,000 miles and only seen those 2 wolves. I got a gray wolf in March although not with my .204. I didn't buy my .204 with wolves in mind, but I knew it would work with a well placed shot. It's been a fun winter - thanks.

Oh, yes, I skinned, stretched and dried both wolves. I'll have them tanned and just display them as a loose hide - hanging from a nail.

GTOHUNTER: The last 2 photos I posted were of a 95 lb male wolf - not a coyote. You probably just mispoke, anyway, thanks.

I would love to see them legalize the 204 in Washington state for hunting cougar. That is an awesome looking wolf, and I love the nice cold, clear background winter scene. I think hunting predators in deep snow and on snowshoes is the most fun I can have with my clothes on.
