why does anyone need a AR15?

Sounds like the wrong bullets in the .243 rifle. More solid, less bonded.

Hard to argue with .30-06's proven century+ of solid performance.

It's easy to get sucked into the new cartridge hype. Lot's of deer still get dropped DRT with a .30-30 shooting hardcast lead.

This was one of my Wolfs. He went in at 160# in the summer and around 210-250# in the winter.

If I was to go after Northern Grays I sure wouldn’t be carrying a 5.56.that is for sure. I’d probably go for my Lr308 just for quaintly of rounds or one of my Marlins chambered in either 444 or 45-70/405Gov.

I see a pic of the Idaho wolf in that and it has grown to 212 lbs lol to the best of my knowledge it was a local guy here in Idaho that show that wolf i will check on it and it was supposed to weigh in the 180 range if I remember right but it is good to see Wisconsin killing their share...

Sisco · April 9, 2014

It wasnt killed in Wisconsin. The blog attributes it to Alberta, but thats the Internet. It gets shot in Idaho and somebody steals the picture and claims it for somewhere else. Wisconsin wolves are nowhere near that big. 100 pounds is probably average. That monster's ancestors had to come from western Canada wherever it was born. Biggest strain of wolves as of 1975 when I last studied them was the MacKenzie river strain out of Alberta, British Columbia and NW Territories. They averaged nearly 175 pounds. I am betting that is where they got the wolves transplanted to Idaho back in the early 90's.

Magwa · April 9, 2014

That is true , the size does seem to be dropping here as they are getting hunted and as the prey base has now grown much smaller I assume they will average out at some point but in the last few years as they have found pockets of elk and deer that had not been effected the biggest seem to come from these areas...

I find that wi dnr post by naz in the link interesting, one in walwoth co (boarders IL) just to the east of where I live, and Dane (Madison is in the center of this co) which is the co just to the north of me. Both southern country's way way south of "where they should be"

Needle in a haystack. Find a needle, there are a lot more where it came from.

Love the way government agencies think "hey let's introduce elk to the clam lake area" few years later "hey let's introduce wolfs to northern Wisconsin" wtf?!?!

They will go where ever there is a prey base to support their pack...

Even wolves couldn't stomach that stuff.

If the question is still, "Why does anyone need a AR15?", the answer is, because we can!

rdsii64 · November 9, 2015

I know this is an old thread but the answer is simple. its called the BILL OF RIGHTS not the bill of needs.

So we don't have to justify a need to own something that isn't illegal in the first place. As far as that giant mutant alien wolf creature, good shooting and I would love to bag one myself.
