Hunted for their fur and for the threat they pose to wildlife, livestock and people, the wolf has been a targeted quarry for hunters for thousands of years. Wolves are generally taken in the late fall or early winter, when their coats are at peak quality, and when the snow makes it easier to track them.

A shot wolf must be approached with caution, as they have been known to play possum. A wolf that has been trapped or cornered by hunters may act aggressively, and older, more experienced wolves may fight savagely.
