Sorry that I left out a few details. It was about 1:15 in the morning when I posted this story. All of my vocalizations (howling, barking,whining) are by mouth. No tubes, funnels or e-callers. For my style of hunting, using my voice or a hand call is much easier. I prefer to just slip in, call and slip out. The less movement,sound and scent the better, ESPECIALLY with wolves. They are incredibly wary and trotting out into a clearing to place an ecaller (while also spreading your scent) just does not make much sense to me. I cover a few hundred miles and probably make 50 stands for everytime that I even hear a wolf let alone see one. My rifle on this adventure was a stainless Ruger Alaskan in .416 with a Trijicon Accupoint 1-4 scope. That scope is outstanding, particularly in low light situations and the green triangular aiming point can be seen in total darkness thanks to its fiber optic and tritium illumination. I have used this rig on everything from fish and squirrels to deer and cape buffalo. Loaded with factory Hornady 400gr DGX rounds it is a sub MOA performer. Not your typical wolf rig but in my area 200 yards would be an incredibly long shot so it worked just fine! For those that might still be shaking their heads over my choice of rifles, please know that I normally use a customized stainless Ruger Hawkeye in.308 but hey what is the point of having a cool gun if you never go out and kill something with it? Big bores and big dogs under the big sky.....Life is good! I hope all of you guys have great success this fall, be careful and good hunting.
