I sell my big ones tanned for $600.They are skinned complete.
Others I make mitts and hats and use for hood trim.

Raw fur prices are all over the place for wolves.A lot of variables there.Size quality colour,and how the skins were handled all play a big part in what a skin will bring.
Anywhere from $5 to $500.Not all wolves are created equal.Lots are not worth skinning,and others are gorgeous.

How much do the big wolves weigh in pounds?

A big wolf where I am would be 85 to 110 lb.depends on how full of meat their belly is.

I’ve only sold 1 wolf so far and it was for $100 frozen whole.

Right now I have 5 wolves skinned and rolled up in the freezer and none of these ones will be for sale. The next ones I catch I will tan and sell for roughly $500.


Cold as ice!

Come on a big game hunt in Manitoba with a registered guide service and you can take a wolf before your Whitetail or moose or fall bear with the same licence.
Many services run this feature first and foremost before the guaranteed whitetail 160 score.

In a seminar last year weights were discussed ranging from 70-85 for pups and adults from 80-130. Some sub-artic wolves range well over that weight if they are on the caribou herds.

Most anyone can purchase a wolf tag over the counter in NW Ontario. When I used to deer hunt there, I saw and heard them all the time. Had no interest in shooting one, mostly because the tag was $350.
