285? That's huge. It could take down almost any animal out there.

Eric Rogers

Javier Ruiz

david stillo

thanks for the info Javier,surprised that the wolf wasn't higher up in the state,not sure what is going on with all the unusual sizes of animals lately all over the world,kinda have to wonder if something is in the air or water doing this to the animals,kinda creepy..lol

I've seen this Wolf killed by a number of people with overly large hands with the same gloves on.

Matthew Meeks

big dog.. Likely is something in the water when you consider how many prescription meds get flushed on an annual basis. It is part of the reason puberty hits young adults earlier

Will Alexander

That's a big one. I wonder if they are going to get bigger from here.

I pretty sure this was not shot in Minnesota , since this is the first wolf season we have had and I have seen this picture before,like over a year ago some someone better do some reconciled work to find out where it was actually killed.

Kristopher Crowley

and the same guy appears in another wolf shooting picture to, wearing the same gloves and in the same position

Byron Wynn

The wolf was killed in Idaho, did some of my own research , look up wolves of Idaho and u will see that pic everywhere.

That's an Idaho wolf, and was shot by my friend, Dan. It weighed 120 lb.

There is absolutely no way a wolf from my state of Minnesota could EVER be 285lbs. The photo posted on Facebook of the hunter holding up the head of this so called black wolf is actually a photo shopped bear. Study the face shape and head shape. Nose is too short and pushed back. I have a 110lb German shepherd and his nose is longer. Also the legs and paws are not quite as they should be. There is no way a true wolf person could be fooled by this. (I am referring to the black wolf on Facebook. Not the wolf photo above of the Idaho wolf).
