[QUOTE="DesertHowler, post: 841776, member: 59031"] I killed a wolf in Idaho in 2011. The range was about 30 yds, and the rifle was a 7mm-08, 140 grain bullet. The angle was straight on, and the bullet entered the center of the chest, exiting the lower back. The wolf rared up at the shot, and then went about 70 yards and out of sight. I've hunted coyotes for 25 years, and I believe a coyote would have dropped in its tracks with the same shot using a .22-250. Bottom line is, these things are a lot tougher than coyotes. A trapper friend of mine shot a trapped wolf with a .223...twice. His opinion is that a 22 cal is not big enough for wolves. [/QUOTE]
