RE: wolf hunting- did I do something wrong?
 

Hey Jono. I too live in Manitoba and have had wolves chase deer by my stand. I haven't shot at one - I'm saving my deer tag for a deer. But the wolves are big at least in the eastern part of the province.

And just to put it to rest - it is legal to shoot a wolf if you have an unused deer license in Manitoba.

Sorry to hear you lost him - they make a beautiful trophy.

After sitting in stand for a few more hours after the shot, that critter would've been in one of those beds, dead as a hammer, if you'd hit the vitals. Mark it down as a flesh wound.

I don't know anything about wolves, but I can tell you if anyone found out you DIDN'T try to shoot a coyote in the area that I hunt in SD, they'd probably kick you out of the county.

RE: wolf hunting- did I do something wrong?
 

my cousin shot a coyote 2 yrs ago and we tracked it all afternoon and into the night, we went back out in the morning and found it laying right by and old pond...
we never thought we would find it the next day...he hit it a little far back behind the front shoulders, but it was enough to kill it....

Did you mean "puke"?
If so, Clarify why.

I thought he meant pooch, or paunch, meaning it was hit in the guts.

RE: wolf hunting- did I do something wrong?
 

Thanks for your responses guys.
My best guess is that I made a flesh wound somewhere in the front part of the chest cavity or neck.Based on the blood/smell of the arrow I don't think I hit the paunch.

For clarification Jennings CMX: You need abig game license to hunt a wolf, but you do not need to tag it.

I really would have liked a wolf skin. I have wolf fur around my winter jacket and it is very warm.
But let me tell you it sure is a rush tracking a wounded wolf by yourself in deep dark woods with only your bow and a sharp knife!

THat was the 1st thing that came in my head. I bet every sense was on full alert following a wounded wolf trail like that. I might have had to gone for backup from MR Ruger. ;)
