Went out moose hunting last Monday up at Fort a la Corne, about 2 hrs. away. Although we didn't see any moose the first two days, Monday morning first thing I had my crosshairs on a big Black Timber Wolf. My buddy had a bear licence, driving down the road to get to our hunting spot, I saw two black objects. I said, "Bears", nope, dem's wolves, there was a big black one a small black one and 3 grey ones, they all scampered, but the big black one. I raised my 30-06, but just couldn't pull the trigger. They were all just over a 100 yards away, my buddy could of also shot him, but didn't.
Some things I can kill and some things I just can't, timber wolves, owls, and my mother-in-law are a few.
I sure got an ear full from another hunter I met up with later that day. " they sure do alot of damage, should of killed every one of them", he said.
Was I wrong by letting him walk, or should I of leveled him???? I know they make great rugs, but its also illegal.
