Can't Shoot That

I forget how one has to be specific when posting to a thread here because the "Thread Police" smell the blood in the water & will jump down your throat for not being.

I apologize. I should have said the smaller Timber/Gray wolves that were reintroduced started breeding with the larger native Canadian Timber/Gray wolves which in turn created litters/packs of larger Timber/Gray wolves than those that were reintroduced. When I said, "The SMALLER TIMBERS started breeding with the Canadian wolves".......nevermind, if you can't read between the lines & need everything spelled out for you that's your problem.

As for the "300lbs monster wolves" I stand corrected. I zigged when I should've zagged & didnt proof read. I meant 200lbs. The biggest one on record is only the biggest because that's the biggest that has been caught & recorded. That doesn't mean that there isn't bigger out there. Many have been seen in the 200lbs range & as I stated in my previous post, my wife works for F&G & has caught & tagged many different kinds of animals. She was with me when that one crossed the road outside of Stanley, ID in the high ups & she even said it was 200+lbs male.

Being a "Chair Jockey" in front of a computer screen & searching the web for stats, is nowhere near as acturate as it being your career to be in the field working with the wildlife everyday. I'll trust what I see in nature first hand over anything I read on the web that some other "Chair Jockey" put on it.

Furthermore, I'm not attempting to insult or attack anyone here as has been done to me but I really don't care what you've read. I've seen a 200+lbs wolf & it scared the hell out of me!!

Excuse me? I've always believed "timber" wolves and "Canadian" wolves to be one and the same.....I've never seen any indication that they were to be regarded as seperate species....aren't both more commonly known as the gray wolf?

Upon further research, it seems that I am right...."timber" and "Canadian" are just different names for the same critter--the gray wolf

The Chihuahua, the Great Dane, the St. Bernard, the Mastiff, those are all gray wolves too.

Same species, different sub-species. There are certainly size variations within the species.
