How big do wolves get?

[MNElkNut]

So I had a chance to listen to the Minnesota DNR's large carnivore leader talk about wolves the other day and he had a note about how big they get. His evidence is over 2,000 wolves that have been trapped over the last 10+ years on depradation complaints. The biggest one of that 2,000 weighed......ahhhh, I wanna hear some guesses first. how much did the biggest wolf out of 2,000 trapped in MN weigh?

i am betting 103 lbs. Did I win?

 

[jryoung]

In MN? I'd guess 87lbs because they are not the "Canadian, invasive, ultra killer, death ray shooting" wolves that weight 385lbs like in MT, ID and WY.

 

[FAIR CHASE]

92 lbs.

 

[shoots-straight]

115lbs ours weigh in around 250 lbs because our are the non native species from Mars.

Do you have the Toby Bridge's wolf scale in MN?

If so 350.

115lbs ours weigh in around 250 lbs because our are the non native species from Mars.

I thought ours weighed 250# because they never run out of elk, deer, cattle, moose, or sheep, or buffalo for dinner...

Is it bigger than the 130 pounder hit by a car in SD last year?

The wolf was checked and weighed by tribal wildlife specialists in Pine Ridge, who contacted the Fish and Wildlife Service. It weighed 130 pounds, making it a “sizable wolf,” Jimenez said.

I will vote 124 lbs.

so far we have 87 to 350 pounds...though I think the 350 was in jest. we had a 130 lbs for a high for sure. Keep them coming. Nobody is right on the money yet.

I will say this. The number surprised me.

 

[noharleyyet]

More than my 94 lb Golden.
