Good looking Wolf. Black wolves did very well at the recent NAFA sale.

Did you guys get a weight on that bad boy? Hard to tell in the photo, either you two are vertically challenged or that wolf is a soaker.

Sorry, I don't have a scale out at my cabin and I skinned him right away out at my cabin. But I guessed him at about 95-100 lbs. I trapped another one that weighed about 110 pounds and he wasn't quite as big as he was but he was close.

Ken, gentlemans bet it was a phone camera! Those phones take better pictures than most cameras now. I bet 90% of my clients dont even carry a camera anymore. A lot of Jr's pictures are taken with an iPhone and we all know the quality of his pictures.

Thanks Super Wide, and thanks for all the tips you gave me the other day on the phone. I called one of those receiving agents you shared with me and now I got a connection. You are a wealth of good information bro!

Sorry to disappoint, but I don't even own one of those smart phones. My wife owns a dumb phone (flip phone) in case of emergencies, but I'm pretty old school. The camera I used is a Canon Powershot ELPH 180. I didn't even know it was that good, but I agree it does take good pictures.

Simply because I don't trust all the people (strangers I don't know) on the internet. People can use information you post on the internet about you and your family to steal your identity or in the case of my children, there are things like sexual predators etc. Not saying anybody on here is like that. I am sure you are all good, honest, hard-working Americans. But you never know what kind of trolls are lurking on these sites with bad intentions. Call me paranoid, I call it using caution.

I suppose I might think twice about putting a kid's picture out in the public, but I get some satisfaction clandestinely putting my picture with animals on the bulliten board at REI along with other folks outdoor pictures.

Ha! That's funny. I'm pretty sure if I put a picture up of a dead animal at REI, most likely someone would just tear it down or put some devil horns on my head. Most of the people at REI close to where I live are a bunch of Anti-hunting, bunny-lovin, tree-huggin, granola crunchers!
