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.

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...

Ron,
That is AWESOME!
Can you share a little more about the hunt? Number of days hunted, outfitter, number of wolves spotted etc.
Congrats!

It is worth paying shipping for a mount that will bring you many years of joy. I highly recommend Phil Soucy of Libby Montana. I live clear out on the west coast and am glad I chose him to do one of my wolves, he is a master of masters.. ![[Linked Image]](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/HunterHarry/054.jpg)

What a great wolf! Gorgeous! Why not go all Cabela's? You know, add a trophy room on the house, have your wolf breaking up a herd of caribou or dragging down a 60" moose?

Phil is really great at what he does. I never could do work like he does.
Always wondered though why most folks want snarls and teeth showing when its fairly rare in the wild actually.
But thats a personal preference and all their choice.
That mount pictured looks really good!

Appreciate the advice on this subject. i have shot a lot of coyotes ( 250). I knew i could not shoot a wolf in aug/sep because of the fur . i have seen a LOT of coyotes in the wild and have noticed not only do taxidermist have a hard time, but even artists do to; few get the intensity in the face/eyes/ears. the mtn lion and lynx my taxidermist have done are great. i need to see a coyote/wolf he has done. ron

Jeff Phil mounted this lynx for me closed mouth. It took 2nd in the world at the World Taxidermy Championships that year. Photos simply don't do this mount justice, it truly looks alive... ![[Linked Image]](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/HunterHarry/013-2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/7605/l3hi8.jpg)
