Curious if anyone knows of a wolf taken with a scatter gun ? Maybe JCS 271 will chime in here . I am so frustrated at my lack of success I think a new shotgun will make me feel better . They were howling about a half a mile away from my house (just before sunup ) as I was saddling up in the barn . My plan was for elk ,I would have been much better off to have gone on foot from the start .Bad move on my part.Last year at about this same time I was afoot and tried to catch up but 5 miles later it was dark and my 70 year old carcass came hobbling home .I covered a lot of ground this time but the pack was always where I could not get near with the horses . Younger legs and no horses would have been much better .I am 71 today and will be after them for as long as my health allows me to .They are a magnificent animal and to hear them howl at night is truly a great experience ,right in there with hearing those huge flocks of snow geese passing in the night (as I go outside to mark my territory ).
