Giant Wolf in Gogama Ontario Canada

[sbarkowski]

I recieved this email from a friend and thought I'd share.

"How is that for a wolf? Shot near Gogama, Ontario Canada over a bear bait last week near the water-shed.
July 30, 2009"

Looks photoshopped to me (the wolf isn't near as sharp as the hunter, nor his hands...)

 

[sbarkowski]

not sure, I dont know the people personally. Just an email a friend up north sent me.

If it's real, it's rather Great Daneish. Looks like he might could take on a bear.

I once shot a Wolfs so big and heavy, I had to lift his head into the sled , tie it down, and THEN the rest of that Floppy fellow.
BIG Alpha, after a sucessfull summer. his skin hung from my celing hook to the floor where his back legs and tail lay a couple tile squares over.


If that wolf is that big, that Bearhug is the only hold that will do.

I think Real. its not a record.

I'd hate to come across that beast.....

I don'[t know if thats photoshopped or not, but I do know that one of the Idaho congressman (Bill Sali, perhaps) has a stuffed wolf in his office and its huge. The one he has is a female, so I could definitely imagine a male could be as big as the one in the pic.

i wonder how tall the man in the photo is

heck for all i know hes 4ft and the wolf isnt huge

I had the email forwarded to me at least a couple months ago...I think it's making it's rounds.

Fake email or not...wolves can get quite a bit bigger than most people realize. I've never seen one quite that big, but I have seen a few that would easily go 150 lbs.

 

[MCgunner]

Maybe they dressed up Minime in camo and it's actually the size of a Chihuahua.

 

[garza]

Wow, that's a monster! I think that wolf could've whooped white fang! ;D

 

[Cosmoline]

It's either photoshop or Ross Perot's smaller brother.

 

[IllHunter]

Almost as scary as the pigs shown in some other posts.

Shot near Gogama, Ontario Canada over a bear bait last week near the water-shed.

The following version of this picture's story has it shot while... "wondering around their camp site for a few hours, they got a little nervous and someone killed it".

Then, of course, this additional version claims the wolf was... "found just out of Edson , Alberta ".

Is anyones BS meter still not pegged yet? It should be red-lined by now.

But here's another cool picture. Also fake, is my guess.

Hello friends an neighbors // could easily be real
They have long legs like that and proportions seem right if you put wolfs rear on ground.

When solo hiking in Glacier / Waterton N.P. Ranger showed me a plaster cast of a wolf print the size of a dinner plate.
Camped 2 1/2 mi. from Goat Haunt something did sniff my boots that night (I was thinking mountain goat looking for salt cause I had seen a bunch that day) I just reached out and pulled them into tent. Having hiked 12-14 miles from lake Cameron I was too tired to be scared.
If I had seen that thing, .44 Redhawk or not, I'd have left right then even though I have realised since and been told here on THR wolves don't generally attack people.

...a plaster cast of a wolf print the size of a dinner plate.

Yeah... okay... sure.

 

[Cosmoline]

Looking at it again I think the size is exaggerated because he's leaning way back. Plus you can see his other leg behind the tail, which puts the wolf in perspective.

Hello friends and neighbors // just inside of rim where you put food ,, left an impression with me.

 

[TehK1w1]

Looks photoshopped to me.

Photoshopped

I lived and worked about 100 mi. northwest of Gogama ON for many years.

Real wolves howled at the edge of town night after night, but the wolf pictured exists only in someone's imagination.

 

[caribou]

Could be photoshopped, but "Why"?

Table saucer sized prints is definitly more like it ~~LOL!!~~

Wolves are that big, some bigger.

Wolves are "fuzzy" with all the under hairs and guard hairs.

Yes, maby that guy is 5'-8" and leaning back, but it looks real to me.

The pictures with the guys with the snowgo's could be "me" but im a Polaris kinda guy in Polaris country

Arctic Tundra Wolves are long and lean untill they "Fuzz up" as we call good huntable/trappable Fur around here, Northwest Arctic Alaska.

While those guys are big, I think they are Alpha/Beta wolves, myself.

I shoot them for fun and profit
Not uncommon, and easily 500$+ to a raw fur buyer.

If it is real it looks to be every bit of 200 lbs. It takes a real strong man to pick it up and hold it for a picture. You talking dead weight too. I wonder what the record wolf weighed in at?

 

[tower2580]

Fake, note the bear paw between the wolf's front legs. Wolves do get this big however this is not one of those wolves.

 

[sbarkowski]

bear paw??
