Somebody sent this to me. I really would like to have it verified by some of yall around that area. (TomBomb or Encoreman) Interesting to say the least.

Before you scroll down!!!!!
Picture in your head how big you think a wolf is. I was thinking a extra large German Sheppard.
Boy was I wrong. And these animals hunt in packs? Yikes!!
The wolf was killed 5 miles north of Hwy 84 @ Hebron, Ms
Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf
This bad boy was gunned down in the Hebron Community of Jones Co.,
Weight was supposedly 218 pounds. Big Mutha if you ask me................
:whaaa: :whaaa: :whaaa:






What yall think now???????????? :NO: :tears:

I say its been photo shopped

I would imagine its very Illegal to harm this animal since they are trying to re-establish it

 

[dhollis51]

I saw that email but it said it was killed in canada where hunting wolves is legal in some parts.

 

[GunOneDown]

that seems more likely. We wear Mossy Oak down here.
:lol3:

 

[dhollis51]

he looks like the wolf in the old movie The Never Ending Story.

Yep - seen this photo circulating around. One of the largest recorded in Yellowstone National Park was around 175lbs .. and that is a big bad wolf!!

Before you think photo shop here is one I know is legit as it is one of our Alberta outfitters. Few really understand just how big these things truly are.

 

[msredneck]

Typical Grey wolfe you might see down here is suppose to be 55 - 130 lbs

:affraid: :F1:

 

[DirtyWorks]

I vote :bsflag: But I have been wrong..

 

[GunOneDown]

Ireally think its real,but from North of the Border somewhere. I don't know about 218lbs, but it could happen. Not down here for sure.

This looks like an untouched photo. I can believe it but the first one I saw sometime last year in emails the were floating around. That one I have questions about.

If the first one is real it is a world record.

Physical characteristics
Gray wolf weight and size can vary greatly worldwide, tending to increase proportionally with latitude as predicted by Bergmann's Rule. In general, height varies from 0.6 to 0.95 meters (24 to 37 in) at the shoulder. Wolf weight varies geographically; on average, European wolves may weigh 38.5 kilograms (85 lb), North American wolves 36 kilograms (79 lb), and Indian and Arabian wolves 25 kilograms (55 lb).[6] Though rarely encountered, extreme specimens of more than 77 kilograms (170 lb) have been recorded in Alaska, Canada,[7] and the former Soviet Union.[8] The heaviest recorded gray wolf in the New World was killed on 70 Mile River in east-central Alaska on July 12, 1939 and weighed 79 kilograms (170 lb),[6] while the heaviest recorded wolf in the Old World was killed after World War II in the Kobelyakski Area of the Poltavskij Region in the Ukrainian SSR, and weighed 86 kilograms (190 lb).

I found that exact article when researching the possible size.

 

[Xd357]

Wow that's a big wolf. I'd like to hunt something like that.

 

[mhead]

Evan at 150 lbs that's huge.

 

[Stryker6]

Wow that's a big wolf. I'd like to hunt something like that.

You don't hunt something like that it hunts you.

It appears that this is a crop pic. As someone said the camo is not right. I was raised in Hebron, MS and I can tell you for sure that this pic didn't come from there. We have pine trees, normally lob lollies and there definitely aren't any rocks/stones on the ground. Around Leaf River and the Mason Creek area the soil is sandy. Spoof pic.

 

[cwink]

I have a wolf rug that my uncle did in taxidermy school.. That thing is alot bigger than what you would think... It dwarfed my 100lb lab... So I believe the pic could be legit..

Here is the quote from one of our members on AGO. He had posted this same picture early last Fall.

hahahahahaha
no, it's not a photoshop guys. that fella's name is Mike Hardin. He and my brother went to high school together. This isn't some photo off the interwebz.
