[QUOTE="Washington Wolfer, post: 886276, member: 73662"] These wolves are not like our family dogs. Although the size may be the same, These animals are very heavy boned and hard muscled. They also have a "will to live" that is stronger then I've ever seen. I do use a 243 with Barnes solids to dispatch them in traps. I don't like sewing either. But I've seen them run off after being shot with a 270. One was tracked for two miles before it was shot again. The first shot had deflected off the shoulder blade. Now if I could shot a perfect heart shot every time, sometimes off hand, I would only use the 243. The Lapua stops them fast, no matter where they are hit. the shock takes the "will to live" out of them. As for the trapping. Bait holes are hard to do, as we can only trap in the winter. Pee post and scent stacks is what I use. I use some snares, but have to be very careful on where and how to set. The white tail deer will get hung up. [/QUOTE]
