If your surrounded by a hungry pack of wolves you may have reacted to late. I have never experienced a loan wolf brave enough to attack when challenged
Remember the wind when you grab that bottle of pepper spray, it may do you little good or even hurt you
We have more success with noise...
Gerry, Gil I wonder where the myth came from about sheep and goats being a long range hunt ?
Gil is right about Goats, it is the terrain that is the problem, especially where Gerry hunts but it is also beautiful scenery
270elk, I agree with your statement, " many shooters are long range...
AND Hunters
all of my shots are under 200 yards, even on sheep and goats, with goat being the hardest of the two to get close to and kill for that matter.
But everything, caribou, moose, deer, elk, wolf, bear, bison, muskox, walrus, as well as sheep and goats can all be hunted under 200...
April, my apologizes for going off subject but I wanted to let everyone know, that as a "young person", I agree with the above quoted post 100% !!!!!! I see it everyday, the young putting down the advise of older people, to the extent of ridiculing the older person for trying to show them a...
Bear78. I am currently studying this and find your comments to be timely, at least for me.
I am not a high fence hunting advocate and those who say the fence is like a river or highway in a natural environment, I can only relate to what I know and experience. Since I only hunt "The...

What's a fence ?
Sorry April could not exist. I would not even consider a high fence hunt, hunting! I am not sure what it is but it is not hunting. It sounds more like going to the shooting range and shooting an animal instead of a water jug.
Dr Mike, April, did you...
Scotty, I am not comparing the two as admittedly you have the much better rifle and caliber. But I wanted you to know that my 275 H & H with a 175 Woodleigh is a hammer on Sheep and Goats and I would not feel under gunned using it for moose, obviously not a problem for the smaller Caribou...
the usual harvest of moose, grizzly, sheep and caribou, usually several caribou
this year I will be extremely busy and not home a lot, so we possibly will not hunt deer, goat, muskox or bison this year, as time is not our friend. We quit hunting black bear as they are just too easy and the...
I dont find this to be as hard a others do. For years I only owned one rifle, a 30-06 and never felt I was needing anything more. Today, it would be just as easy for me to not have anything but a Win 71 348. There is nothing that I can not hunt with that rifle, and do.
THANK YOU DAN---finally, someone else that understands my feelings about the Wolf. Plus, I dont know how many times I have been told in a disparaging manner that I am the only one who ever sees "packs" of wolves.
Being from Iowa I have a Big interest but would like to drive up to where I begin my Hunt because I would like to bring the meat home. It is on my list.
I also don't understand why the price has risen so sharply. I hate seeing hunting going to where only the rich can go, it needs to be...
would someone please post a map of Europe so I will know whether or not my 275, 300 and 375 H &H caliber rifles are from Europe. If they are then those are my favorites as they are what I have.
oh I forgot. In reference to a double rifle. For the amount of money that they cost I could...
Quebec caribou hunting at this moment has been shut down for 2018 and 2019, and no one knows what will happen after that. The outfitters in Quebec blame the Natives, as there are more than enough Caribou in Quebec to allow hunting. Basically the disagreement is over boundary lines and ownership...
Bear, if appears you have already made up your mind and everybody seems to agree with you, so I post this knowing that I am the odd man out, but wanted to let you know that I have played with the 270, 7, 300, 325 and, for me, the 7 and 325 win, hands down and therefore those are the two I still...
where do you live ?
No reason to fly to the west if your on the east coast and to be honest there is no reason to fly all the way to Nunavut, although the caribou hunts there are relatively easy, as you will float plane in and then boat around the shores glassing, before you disembark and start...
I always regret making a post
YES--all three are "Grey" wolves. The Arctic are mainly on the Islands, the Timber ( also called Boreal ) is below the tree line and the Tundra travel above and below and follow the Caribou herds
Guy,
We have three "classifications" of wolves in The Territories. Timber, Arctic, and Tundra. It is not uncommon to see packs of 25 and larger. I worked in Nunavut in 2016, darting Wolves from a helicopter and fitting collars on them, so we could track their movement. We see wolves quite...
Dr Mike, I have and/or have had three 7, 300, 325 and the 325 works best for me. As you know I have mine in a BLR. It gives me all the range I need and a tad more hammer.
Albeit everybody here has more knowledge and experience than I so your critique of my preference is welcomed...
