That is amazing. Getting a wolf is my last hunting goal and I am considering Canada after 4 years of failure in Idaho. -37!. I think I will do Jan.-Feb. hunt this year in Idaho/Montana to get a reality check before booking.
Ronin, congratulations and would you recommend an outfitter please?

You bet! I'd love to get one that color with that quality of fur someday. I've taken greys, and the black phase, but one that white is very rare around here.

Absolutely beautiful! Congrats.
How did you hunt wolves in that part of the world? I'd love to read the tale.

Now that is just downright NICE!
It is my perhaps erroneous understanding white wolves are common in some parts of the far north Canadian Arctic - Baffin and Ellismore islands , etc.
Black is great, but seeing this I'd rather get a white one.
Congrats, ronin!

the guide said one my buddy missed was tawny ( coyote color) . the one my buddy got was white. the ones in the guides successful pics were white. this is near the arctic circle. now i am saving to hunt for a dark and a tawny ( gray); either alberta or idaho/montana of some mix of those; or ontario or minnesota or......... . thanks to all especially Pat. ron

What a beauty, Ron!
I've done a little guiding up in that part of the world, and most Arctic wolves are white or tawny. This is a different subspecies than the northwestern Gray wolf we're used to in southern Canada and the northern US...
