There was a 205 lb wolf shot behind the buffalo jump in southern alta10 years ago, officially weighed on certified scales.
I'll try and find the story as it was inthe Fort Mcleod papers at the time.

I'll have to ask him. It's kind of conflicting. I found 175lbs in Alaska on a few internet sites, In Wild Furbearer Management and Conservation in North America it lists 176lbs, but that from sometime before 1944. There doesn't seem to be any one widespread standard for wolves.
