Zeke, it's tough as Hell to hunt and kill one with a rifle. I have, but I was hunting elk. Most of the successful wolf hunters I know spend LOTS of time after them. And trapping is the most successful method. I do know a guy that has killed four with a rifle, but twice that trapping. This is why I laugh at the SSS boneheads. Most of those guys will never even see a wolf, much less have a chance at killing it. mtmuley
