Now for the shot. 325 yds = 975 ft. 975/2 = 487.5 ft. The shot was 25 yds further for you. 487.5-75 ft.= 412.5 ft. Or 137.5 yds. from your buddy, 562.5 ft or 187.5 yds from you.
Your shot was easily inside your 300 yds self imposed limit, but I think your buddy was shooting a bit further than 100 feet.
😁👍🏿
Yeah, but it took awhile for him to get over there, while his buddy was there for some time looking at this coyote looking critter that stood still to be shot at 3 times at 100 ft., before getting tagged from 300 yards. Therein, suggesting he felt in contriving that story, that both the 100 feet and 300 yards was correct, and reinforces that part with the time allowed to reach the now extinct poor animal. Wherein the mere "25 yards further" thrown in for whatever reason is questionable.
Setting that point aside momentarily, could I please have a show of hands of all who've ever shot at a coyote/wolf at 100 feet, in a clearing in the midst of the woods, 3 times and have the critter stand their dumbfounded, waiting on someone with superior shooting skills to waste his [beeep]? I mean once I can easily believe, mighta seen that once or twice myself. Twice is pretty iffy; maybe a pup, but a full grown dog! You usually got a rocket sled going across the prairie at this point. BUT, 3 times and ain't moved... eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhyeah! OK!
Ask him how he killed the last brontosaurus with a slingshot.

WOLVES ON THE WEST COAST
Wolves were once common along the West Coast, from the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state through Oregon to the far reaches of Southern California. As keystone predators, wolves play a vital role in regulating prey populations like deer and elk, and in so doing benefit a host of species. By forcing elk to move more, for example, wolves have sometimes been found to increase streamside vegetation and, along with it, beaver and songbird populations.
Decades of extermination programs to appease the livestock industry drove wolves out of West Coast states in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The last wild wolf was documented in California in 1924, when it was shot in Lassen County. The last breeding wolves in Washington were eliminated in the 1930s, and in Oregon the last wolf was killed for a bounty in 1946.
Today the West Coast is a region crucial to wolf recovery. As wolf populations have expanded in the northern Rocky Mountains, the animals have moved west. As these populations reach new areas, they need state and federal protections to ensure they aren’t exterminated again. In fact, when a wild wolf called OR-7, or “Journey,” reached California in late 2011, ranchers quickly called for a “shield” to block the entrance of other wolves; some even vowed to shoot wolves on sight.
That’s why the Center for Biological Diversity and allies petitioned California to protect wolves under the state Endangered Species Act and, in June 2014, the California Fish and Game Commission voted to grant our petition. Those protections were extremely timely because only one year later, California’s first known wolf family, the Shasta pack, was confirmed in the state.
But there’s still a vast amount of work to be done for West Coast wolves. Although wolf recovery efforts in the northern Rocky Mountains and the Great Lakes have met with success, wolves in the lower 48 states still occupy less than 10 percent of their historic habitat. Yet the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has stated it intends to remove federal protections for wolves in the lower 48 states, including the West Coast. If the United States is going to continue recovering its wolf population — and if it wants to retain authentic wilderness within its borders — then it needs the West Coast, which is one of the best places for wolf recovery with plenty of suitable wolf habitat and a largely supportive human population.
In August 2012 the Center and 23 other conservation organizations sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking for continued Endangered Species Act protection for wolves in the Pacific Northwest. As a founding member of the Pacific Wolf Coalition, the Center is working with conservation groups across the region to ensure that wolves retain needed protections at the state and federal level.

Maybe he'll tell the story again of how he made some of hells angels decide they didn't want to fight him over a game of pool in that biker bar. He made them apologize, buy him a beer and leave the premises. Why I'm sure Chuck Norris gives him a wide berth too.

I'm thinkin Putin looks up to lamewoodie as a role model. Sort of like a Putin advisor, handles Putins light work.

Jeremy I've read that story as well. Soon after he joined a couple of years ago we started researching this lunatic. He has been booted from numerous forums. I know that somewhere in our archives rests many funny stories of his super hero exploits. This thread is tame compared to most. In those older threads you'll find the names of several other forums. A quick perusal on those sites will show he was treated much worse than he is here. The problem is he's lied so much he can't keep up with his stories. It is truly sad to see an individual needing attention from the grownups. A Google search turned up a lot of info back then. Haven't tried that in quite some time.

Distribution of wolves across the south from Texas up through the eastern seaboard were all RED wolves according to all of the research I've ever seen on that topic. Which I have dug into that several times upon finding they had reintroduced them here in the south. In fact, if you google the event in question here in this thread Last Brown Wolf Killed in Louisiana , it returns nothing but "red" wolf results.

Quote:With the passage of Proposition 117 in 1990, mountain lions became a "specially protected species," making mountain lion hunting illegal in California. This status and other statutes prohibit the California Department of Fish and Wildlife from recommending a hunting season for lions, and it is illegal to take, injure, possess, transport, import, or sell any mountain lion or part of a mountain lion. Mountain lions may be killed only 1) if a depredation permit is issued to take a specific lion killing livestock or pets; 2) to preserve public safety; or 3) to protect listed bighorn sheep.
I wonder how many times he's broken the law by killing all these mtn. lions that are threatening his sheep. LOL!!!
After all, can't kill something just to kill it, except lions, coyotes, and squirrels, and of course, the occasional "last known living wolf".

If true, this "last wolf" would have had to be a pregnant female. I would have had to be a Red Wolf, of which very few were ever 80lbs.

This from wiki. Notice the yr. of mention.
Formal efforts backed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began to save the red wolf from extinction in 1973 when a captive breeding program was established at the Point Defiance Zoological Gardens, Tacoma, Washington. Four hundred animals were captured from southwestern Louisiana and southeastern Texas from 1973 to 1980 by the US Fish and Wildlife Service
It's possible that it was a hybrid Red Wolf/Yote or Red Wolf/Ger. Shep. Wolf/Malamute or a bad dream!
