Holy Tamoly!!! How big you are, Grandmother! Ack!!This Wolf was shot recently in Drayton Valley, Alberta ….which is near Edmonton about 3 hours North of Calgary. The wolf weighs over 230lbs smashing the previous record of 175lbs. Wouldn’t want to run into this puppy in the woods. Apparently a bear hunter witnessed this wolf chase off a big black bear at his baiting station. (TY for sharing Buck!)
(PS This is not intended to be more than educational & informative ~ he was 'eating' something for sure. I am not an advocate of hunting one bit. )
oh my gosh Marydon!! No thank you. I would not want to meet that big bad wolf anytime anywhere!! LOL

Hi Sweet Peanut Butter,
ReplyDeleteWhat Big eyes you have, the better to SEE you with my Dear. That is one big wolf. I didn't even realize that they could get that big. I would be absolutely terrified to see something like that. Looks like something out of a horror movie for sure.
Talk to you soon sweetie. I love you, Cherry Jelly
OK, here comes the other side.
ReplyDeleteHow long had that wolf lived, to reach 230 pounds?
Had he been hurting anyone?
Should that bear hunter be so hippity-happy to have shot that animal?
Shot.
Shot.
Shot.
What chance did the wolf have, when this guy went out with his fancy camaflague outfit on, and his bigggggggggg gun? What chance?
He may well eat bear meat.
But, is this *bozo* going to eat wolf meat?
Aunt Amelia says; "Wipe the grin off your face Mister. I don't happen to think it makes YOU a big MAN, to have shot that magnificent creature." And Aunt Amelia would be happy to say that, to his face.
Ugh...
Ooohhh yikes .... I've taken off into the woods !!! I would of died with heart attack if I would of seen this coming anywhere near meee !!! It's GIGANTIC !!!! It's been eating something ..... Have a happy day my friend, and don't go near the woods !! hehehe ...
ReplyDeletehugs ~tea~ xo
Oh my goodness, well this guy just took the romance out of a lovely walk in the woods. LOL.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day,
Elizabeth
That is one big bad a## wolf!! Never knew one to get to that size. Wonder if he was a mutant! LOL
ReplyDelete:-) Sue
WOW....and I thought my 125 pound alaskan malamute was big. My malamute is wonderful (a therapy dog), but extremely strong and stubborn. I can not imagine a wild wolf at 230 pounds.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, andrea
Goodness he's gigantic! Never seen one that big before. But then again, I don't think I have ever seen one period! That's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodeness, it would have scared me to death to see that old big, bad wolf. He's a giant! I've never seen one this big before.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow....grandma what big eyes you have...that wolf is giganic...
ReplyDeleteHad no idea a wolf could get that big. Geesssssssss that's scary. Good the hunter got it.
ReplyDeleteSandy
YIKES! That's just a tad bigger than a chihuahua, huh?
ReplyDeletem ^..^
Certainly doesn't look like the wolf in the picture book I read while I was growing up. Watch out Little Red Riding Hood.
ReplyDeleteOMG....I had NO idea they would get that big!! Looks like a bear!
ReplyDeleteHi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI think Little Red had better stay in bed. What big teeth you have Grandma!
Hugs,
June
How very sad... this made me cry... I don't like to see poor animals shot, especially for no reason... I agree with Aunt Amelia's Attic... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteHe was huge, but also a magnificent wild creature. I've been a wolf watcher and admirer in Yellowstone. I do hate to see a wolf shot.
ReplyDeleteHow sad. I hate to see things like this happen to wild creatures.
ReplyDeleteMarydon, I just want to say I know you're not advocating wolf hunting, just relaying the facts with a cute red riding hood slant.
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes, that is one big wolf.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that hunter is grinning; I think he is grimacing with the effort of supporting that much WOLF.
Yikes. Now I know why I don't hike in the woods....
Cass
WOW, thats huge!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHOW SCARY!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I cannot believe he was that big!!!!
Now that's a tale to tell!!!!!
hugs,
jamie
My what a big wolf you have, my dear! *hehe*....
ReplyDeleteI do agree with Auntie, though... that magnificent animal, unfortunately, should be on display now somewhere in a natural history museum (or some place of that sort). It's got to be one of it's kind. It's a shame that the life was cut short...
Hugs,
Christina

Wow...a funny and frightening post. Remind to to heed the old joke and take someone I can outrun hiking with me. LOL...just kidding.
ReplyDeleteThat wolf is HUGE..
ReplyDeleteI've not seen one
that big..
OMG
Does Shauna have a blog??
Any one complaining about the shooting of this animal would surely be singing a different tune had you been there seeing him look at you like your lunch! Had it been unnecessary none of us know we were not there!
