[Missoulaz28]

I'll get it right eventually

 

[A-con]

[mtmuley]

Seems like its open mike night at the Comedy Club. Well played gentlemen.

How about 81 fight ready pounds for my guess.

 

[sluggo6850]

147

 

[L. I. Yankee]

186.......

 

[Badlandcat]

The one I shot was a big male and he weighed in at 121, so I going with 120 to 132. Unless it was behind a dairy farm eating out of the kill pile then it might be 140 to 150.

 

[ecb]

142

 

[TheTone]

I'd guess maybe about 135, although they are eating a little differently from the ones I'm used to.

 

[Toadslayer]

gotta try 199

 

[whiskeydog]

so are people gonna guess all night, or are you actually going to post the answer?

 

[Gerald Martin]

134

 

[montana_bow]

Just post the damn number. These guessing games are so stupid.

 

[Zach]

Put me down for a buck thirty three.

 

[LopeHunter]

122 pound male.

 

[L. I. Yankee]

Any day now....

I don't know. It's the state record for a racoon trapped in Minnesota over 50lbs? I think the record whitetail is over 400lbs. So I would naturally think high.

However trapping season and peak yearly weight for wolves doesn't line up very well at all. If you were harvesting wolves in the fall I would think the weight would be much higher than those trapped in the dead of winter with a full furred coat.

I'll just throw out 125.

109 pounds! over 2,000 wolves and the biggest was 109. My guess would have been 160ish, but boy was I wrong. Now these were depredation complaints, so they took place all year long. Even if this is a slightly smaller species, that is less than many folks think. I suppose all that fur really makes them look bigger.

Sorry about the guessing game, I thought it would be enlightening to see the range of thoughts on woof weight.
