Default Ruffy hunt turned wolf shoot

Took my nephew out with me for a day of chicken hunting on Saturday to try and see if he would enjoy the experience. I thought I'd bring the rifle along just in case and I'm glad I did. We only saw one chicken the whole day but as we got into one particular area I like to go for chickens I saw a glimpse of white moving out across a clearcut. Quickly recognizing what it was I grabbed my rifle, got him in the scope and pulled the trigger. I ended up putting another bullet into him to speed his demise but was more than happy when I walked up to this guy. I knew there were a lot of wolves in the area because of all the sign I have been seeing lately and the loads of them I've been seeing on my trail cam but this was the first guy I got a chance at so far. Needless to say, my nephew was jacked after the whole experience and considers himself a genuine wolf hunter now. It was a great first time for him out hunting and it'll be a good story for him to be able to go tell his friends.

Awesome! Looks like he got in a serious scrap. Rug or full body mount?

Good thing you decided to bring rifle along. Must have been exciting for you and esp. for your nephew. Congrats on a great trophy. Lots of threads this year from members who shot a wolf while hunting something else.
I too am curious which WMU.
