We went after him on a large willow flat and finally seen him a long ways out. I wasn’t going to try a shot but the guide said he won’t ever be any closer. Resting the gun over the guides shoulder the crosshairs very unsteady I shot. I must have flinched just right. A bit of a tracking job and there it was. Very old wolf with the most deformed jaw I ever saw.
All trophies should have a story, that's a good one.
