Recently returned from my Alberta deer hunt. Had great weather, cold and plenty of snow. Shot the wolf on the 10th and the deer on the 12th. Deer scored 207 4/8".

Re: Alberta wolf and whitetail
Thanks guys, having a full mount done on the wolf in a snow scene. The deer will be a pedestal mount.

Re: Alberta wolf and whitetail
How much did that deer weigh? I'm guessing over 230lbs? He looks huge.

Re: Alberta wolf and whitetail
Sweet sh!t momma,that wolf is huge. I know they're all heavy coated up for the cold, but that sumbugger is still Huge.
I think I'd poop a pink twinkie if I saw that monster trying to raid our little henhouse!
(in a hushed whisper....no baby, you don't understand, get me the big gun and quick!)
Looks like you had a great trip thanks for sharing some awesome animals with us.

Re: Alberta wolf and whitetail
The deer weighed 327# live weight and the wolf 120#. The wolf chased a whitetail doe out of a spruce thicket and pulled her down in the snow. He had her by the throat when I shot him at 80 yds. The deer was shot at 90 yds. chasing a doe. He wasn't trying to kill her!
Both shot with a custom Sako 338 RUM pushing a 185 gr. Barnes TTSX at 3500 fps.

Re: Alberta wolf and whitetail
Well I have been to Alberta, that is a great Deer period. I didn't see any Whitetail in that category when I was there.
Ended up with a nice Muley and there were no wolves in the area we were in.
That my friend was a World Class Hunt!!!

Re: Alberta wolf and whitetail
Wow...great hunt and a nice pair of trophies!
The doe that the wolf was chasing, did she run-off after you shot him or was the damage done? Sure easy to see why wolves can devastate deer and elk populations. They are big predators.

Great deer! Mind posting some measurements? Not doubting you, just wondering where I'm missing inches.

Re: Alberta wolf and whitetail
Very nice trophies. We saw three wolves this fall at 84 yards but we only had bows with us.

Re: Alberta wolf and whitetail
Great White Holdings was the outfitter. I spent 24 days on stand in 2010 before I shot my deer, hunted the entire 30 day season in 2011 and didn't shoot a deer and hunted 12 days this season before I saw what I was looking for. 66 days total on stand over the last three years in temps down to -36. They don't come easy but you have to be where they are.
Wes, base measurement 7", g-2 = 11 1/2", largest circumference = 12". A basic 6 x 5 with 8 NT points. The picture angles don't show all the NT points. The mass measurements really added up. The score is gross NT of course.
They had one trail camera picture of him in September. He broke off three points fighting the longest being aprx. 8". He would have been pushing 220" NT if he hadn't broke these points off.

Cool. It's easy for score to sneak up on you with 20 inches of brow tine and bases at 7. Total mass make it over 50?
