[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 975721, member: 81139"] When deer hunting this year in unit 56, the night before opening day we were out scouting and came across a moose out in a small marsh just off the road. It was dusk... Just getting grey when we got out of the truck to take a look. My nephew... Who has just a little too much juice starts walking over towards the moose while I'm telling him he's nuts... And to get his butt back to the truck. About that time... The moose busts it away from us towards a thicket and my nephew says..."Hey... There's another moose... Up there by that quaking aspen and pine tree." I pull up my binocs and thought I was looking at a burned out tree trunk... Perhaps one that got some lightening damage and I was just about to look off further to the right when that blackened tree trunk turned it's head. It was a huge black wolf... I mean big. It's the first wolf we'd seen as we had heard that there weren't any south of the snake river. Well... I beg to differ. We had left our rifles at camp so there would be no confusion with F&G, but I was incredibly disappointed not to have had it at that moment. It was probably 120 or so yards, but I can tell you that I would definitely want a 357 mag or my 45 if I came across another sample like that. That was not what I was thinking when I pictured wolves in Idaho. It was freaking enormous. As opposed to a handgun, I'm thinking a 12 gauge semi with slugs and/or 00 buck would have me feeling more comfortable. [/QUOTE]
