What an awesome pic. Id rather see a wild wolf than kill another bear.

Cool pic, they seem to have a way of staring right through you.

Amazing!!  I was talking to my brother last night and he was asked, "What was the most amazing thing you saw or experienced when you lived in AK?"  He replied, "A pure black wolf staring at me from 20 feet."  And, "The pure white wolf I shot when I was Brown Bear hunting."

Don't get to carried way with the admiration guys. It's easy to have a soft spot for the wolf but that soft spot is what the anti's are using for the proposed band on hunting of wolves here in Michigan again.

No soft spot for a wolf here,I'd love to run an arrow through one but I'm sticking to my post. They're beautiful and I want to see a wild one.

I can understand the pro and cons of the wolf, but it is a beautiful creature. Truly the face of the wilderness. Neat photo.

Great Pic and It would be an awesome trophy.

We have seen a few on my place the last few years.  Deer hunting has been tougher- fewer deer seen.

great pic

My take:

I'd rather kill a the wolf, then I might see an elk on public land again.

Great pic

I don't think there is anything mutually exclusive about admiring a beautiful animal an being able to kill it.  It would be a shame if we could not appreciate their beauty.

Top predator.  Beautiful pic.

Sbschindler, what a really fantastic photo.  It has good detail of the grasses up front, just enough green grass in the foreground against subtle forest colors to ground the subject, perfect placement of the wolf in one quadrant of the picture, and just enough lost edges of the wolfs body to make his head stand out.  Can't help but focus on the wolf's curious eyes.  You need to enlarge and frame this one.  If the photo were mine, I know I could do a watercolor painting that would win an award.

I will be buying an Idaho wolf tag in a couple of weeks when I go bear hunting. Yes they are remarkable creatures, but the toll they take on elk has to be managed. If you don't think so, compare elk numbers in Yellowstone before wolves and now. A wolf with a longbow would be quite the trophy.

Great photo

What's the point of having wild places if "certain" wild animals are not there. Its all about common sense management. Predators need to be managed just like prey.
