To the people asking why hunt wolves? Here in Minnesota we have the largest population of wolves in the lower 48. Wolves are protected and the Deer herd is in free fall over much of the north and central parts of the state. As a land owner I saw 3 deer total in all of 2023 including deer season. And studies have proven that 1 out of 2 Moose calves is taken by Wolves so they are not able to increase. It impacts many other wildlife populations as well. I haven't seen any rabbits or other small game in several years my 80 acres is completely empty of wildlife.
Dreams. And you got em on video. I was trying for that before e-callers allowed and built multiple rifles up for possible wolf pack called in. You’re gonna be famous, already a legend with me. Well done, that is legendary stuff you just pulled off!
Very good job Sir! The T1 is a great choice for your optic, as well as the 3" nickle plated #1buck load. So glad you videoed this and posted it for us to see. Excellent follow through and shot placement as well, great to see the 870 Remington put to good use for predator control. Continued luck on your future hunts. Best wishes from Idaho, USA.
Holy crap, That was intense ! great job, your heart had to be pounding out of your chest seeing them coming down the train towards you, what an opportunity ! the damn wolves have all but wiped out the whitetail herd in Michigan's U.P. , I have a camp up there and there and you have to work your ass off to see just one single deer now, let alone a nice buck, the wolves need to be managed !!!
Your absolutely correct, I too live in the North Central Alberta, and do hunt wolves, last year I had a pack of 11 at the time on camera, i got 2 of them that day and another one a week later, and to my disappointment they all had mange, so i stopped hunting that pack, This year we have gotten 2 so far, and they are absolutely beautiful, but at the moment I am not sure how many are with these 2. Still looking.
in the area where I live located in North of Italy we had an abondant popolation of red deers.Once many wolfes packs started to populate this area , the deers have nearly disappeared.Predators are necessary but when their number is overwhelming then they distroy many other species of animals.
Amazing camera work!!😂😂 Seriously though… good work… there are WAY too many wolves in Alberta… at least where I live in the North. Can’t even call moose anymore because they are too afraid to respond. So how heavy do you think these guys were? I am really curious because most places you read that Mackenzie Valley Wolves top out at 130 lbs/ ish, but I am pretty sure there are Adult males out there running around at 150-180 lbs… what are your thoughts?
All four I got were adults, two male, two female. Our deer and moose numbers have bottomed out so the wolves are quite lean now. None of them were much over 100 pounds.
Nice work man. We need to keep hammering them,to many. Im running a wolf bait now in that country. I have a feeling sort of where you may be at but wont say it on here. Me an the son are heading to the bait to see how things are tommor since the cold snap we had killed my cam batteries. Plan on bringing in some clients to take afew out. Theres so many everywhere for years now gotta help out them deer moose an elk much as we can. Keep it up!!!
I live in Mississippi here in the southern US and hunt coyotes almost every weekend. Those wolves are big and magnificent compared to the coyotes I kill. Wondering what their weight was? Great video and congratulations on the double!
I called them in mostly with howls. There are tons of wolves in Alberta but they are nocturnal and elusive. Similar to moose, there is plenty around but they just stay out of sight. In my opinion red foxes and coyotes are far more cunning then wolves.
The only restrictions on ammo capacity that I know of in Alberta are when hunting game birds (grouse, ducks, etc.) where the chamber and magazine can't hold more then 3 shells, and when using a semi-automatic firearm which can't have more then 5 in the magazine I think. I only use pump action shotguns, so hypothetically I could have a 100 round drum magazine, though that would be utterly impractical.
beautiful color on both of them . best place to get them tanned is Moller Tannery they will last you a life time garment soft tanning ! excellent hunt what size shot did you use we use #4 Buck for yotes here in OHIO !
Nice job, wolves are over running our province and all us alberta hunters need to get control of them... what wmu and if you need help let me know my son and I will gladly help you out
@@thewhitesilence6327 ohh that’s too bad, as far as a know we still have one here in the north, I believe it’s only $50 now, but years ago it was $500 for an adult and $250 for a juvenile, I made great money for a few years
North-central-ish Alberta. If you are looking for a place to hunt believe me there are resident populations in ALL of the big bush and foothills habitats across the province. At first I was skeptical but I have heard enough reports from reliable sources that singles and pairs are spreading across the prairies to. They come up from Montana towards the Cypress Hills, and along the Battle River from who knows where.
They are a renewable resource and I hunt deer in the area, so I try to help the deer out if I can. All of the fur will be taxidermied either locally or internationally depending on who buys it at auction. I get so much hate mail from people thinking I'm trying to eradicate wolves. They must not be from Alberta because there are large and growing populations in all forested regions of the province. Hunting only manages to skim off a portion of each years crop. With the current hunting regulations it is impossible to remove wolves from the landscape. To me its not wilderness unless there are wolves.
As long as I shoot when they are beyond 20 yards the pellets will have spread out enough that there won't be any pelt damage. Wolves have some of the toughest hide I have ever seen. So, it is difficult to damage the hide under most circumstances anyways.@@alexandregh.3831
Not knocking what you did, but why ?. Were they preying on your livestock ? Are they considered a game species where your at ?. An yes I'm from the lower 48, an a hunter to, mainly deer an hogs. Not against predator control, as I will pop a yote in a heartbeat, just trying to understand, not questioning your right to hunt at all, or control predators. Where was this at ?
They are very abundant in our area in north central Alberta, you would be hard pressed to find anyone up here that wouldn't say that they are over abundant. You can hunt them almost year round with unlimited bag limit, and it has been that way my whole life. Yet their populations and range are only growing. Every wolf I get will end up being mounted.
@@thewhitesilence6327 THX, I really didn't know, not saying there aren't wolfs here ( FLA ) yes there is, mainly hybrids that are given up as pets. An thats the only exposure I've had to wolfs, lol. Thx for the response an the knowledge, happy hunting.
@thewhitesilence6327 we have way to many coyotes where I'm from,they are not as big as wolves but they are many and they are destroying the the wildlife ,like deer,rabbits and so on.we too can hunt them year round but they are very smart and hard to kill.if you kill one in a area the rest will not come back to that area no matter how many times you try calling them for awhile.
