Great video. What do you do with all the wovles? Can you make s video showing any rugs and mounts you have done with them. Would love to see them. -Cheers from a fellow wolf hunter in Alberta Canada
I love your videos. I use shooting sticks that I built that form an X. Ultra stable. Works for sitting and standing. I just used 3/4” wood dowels. Drilled a hole through one of them about a foot from the top. Ran some polymer string through the hole and wrapped a loop around the other dowel. Then wrapped many layers of tape 1/4” away on the top and bottom of that looped string. That way the 2nd dowel can “spin”. Then 3/4 of the way down i drilled a small hole in both the dowels and ran a string through each one. The idea is you can spin the one dowel around causing the string to wrap around itself and shortening up which brings the sticks together. It was my dads design and I’ll be god damned if it doesn’t work really slick.
Its more crazy when you multiply that 100 pound individual by the other 10 or so pack members ready to play tug of war with any woodland critter. Look up wolf superpacks on youtube, there was a superpack in russia that had 400 pack members.
No, they don't see orange the way we see orange. The reason why is because human eyes have three types of receptors called cones that allow us to see light in the blue, green and red spectrum and any combination of these three colors, referred to as trichromatic vision. Wolves and coyotes have two types of cone receptors, and a third type of receptor that humans do not have, called rods. Rods are more light sensitive then cones and help wolves and coyotes see better at night. Since they only have two cones, they are only able to see blue and yellow and any combination of those two colors. Reds and oranges would look like different shades of yellow to a wolf or coyote. They also only see in 20/75 vision compared to humans 20/20, meaning humans can see an object 75 feet away at the same clarity as a wolf viewing the same object from 20 feet away. Wolves and coyotes are unbelievably good at picking out movement, and contrasting colors. If you wore blue jeans hunting, it would stick out to them like blaze orange sticks out to our eye. Humans tend to believe in things we can see. Wolves and coyotes live by their noses and will usually try to circle to the downwind side of the call to smell You can use this to your advantage and set up 50-75 yards down wind of your call, they will almost always try to get to the downwind side, and
Congrats on the hunt what a beauty wolf. My most memorable and exciting hunts are all from predator hunting, nothing puts my heart into palpations like howling and having a whole pack sound like they are right on top of you and they starting funneling in, its an incredible feeling.
Shawn, I use an AR-15 for wolf hunting. This way if several wolves come in there is no reloading your gun and if you miss an animal the follow up shot is instantaneously and seldom if ever will get away. :-) We are allowed 5 wolves per person here in Montana and I love the AR15 for this reason. Also, while you are calling for wolves if a pack of coyotes come in you can thin them out too without reloading and your follow up shots are super fast. I shot 6 dogs to my friends one dog in one set, after the smoke cleared and he said, how any dogs did you shoot? I said 6, we got 7 in less than 30 seconds. I had the AR-15 and he was using a bolt action. He uses his AR to predator hunt now...lol. The AR knocks the air out of the dog instantly as well and they drop right there in their tracks every time. The AR-15 can reach out to 600 yards for predators like this, I have a video with my son shooting 3/4 of a mile with his AR hitting a 10 inch plate. You are right, these are great videos he puts up here:-)
Shawn, I use a .223 caliber and it will knock the life and air out of the Wolves instantly. I shot a Coyote @ 550 yards on a dead run, when I pulled the trigger the Coyote dropped to the ground instantly. My son shot one @ 220 yards and if dropped instantly. I drops the big dogs too (Wolves) in their tracks, they do not run off, it knocks the air right out of them. When you are predator hunting you seldom shoot over 100 yards while calling for them. I will shoot up to 600 yards with my AR-15 with no problem. I make lots of people that I take out Wolf hunting or Coyote hunting believers of using the AR-15 for predators. I take any ethical hunter with me Wolf or Coyote hunting, I even have a spare AR if they need one...lol. Stay safe buddy. Oh, I forgot to mention, I let my good friend borrow my AR because he has a small 1000 acre ranch and had a bunch of Coyotes on it. He shot one standing broadside to him. The bullet went in right behind the shoulder and then came out the tip of the Coyotes nose. When we skinned him I opened it up and followed the bullet from where he shot him to where it came out the tip of its nose. That is how awesome of a bullet the .223 is. It follows bone contour and roto-rooters the inside of the predators body. Just like when you drill through carpet with a drill, it wads all up on the bit. Well, that is exactly like the .223 bullet.
Because it’s the wolf who disturbed nature’s chain. More animals are impacted negatively in certain areas that wolves inhabit. They’re not all success stories like Yellowstone. All population such as elk, cougar, foxes, etc go down.
It is pure disgust to see how the people in this video think it's great. The human being penetrates more and more into the realms of the animal world. I can understand it when wolves are in excess or have diseases but you have to find out the exact wolf and not take pictures again of how great you feel.
I used to be disgusted by videos like this as well, but after seeing a video of a wolf killing a husky, I now enjoy watching them. Less wolves in the world the better
