Awesome shots. Aside from a 30.06, they're about the only thing nasty enough to take down a grizzly. Wouldn't want to be on foot when you came across that.

Great pics are they personal or someone elses ?

Someone sent them to me. If it was me I would probably still be cleaning out my drawers.

I just thought the pics were pretty good and wanted to share.

Awsome Pictures I have never had the chance to see one in the wild. Seen 2 badgers battling once in the middle of our home cemetary for about 10 min pretty cool, wish I would have had a camera.

Those are wicked pictures. Last time i personally seen a wolverine was in the Northwest Territories at the Diavik diamond project in 1996 to 98. when i was drilling up there. They're something else.

Cool pics. 13 years of surveying and 9 years in the oil patch and I've never seen one. Seen cougars/mountain lions several times....thought that was pretty cool as they are very elusive as well....but never a wolverine. We came upon a biologist on a Tundra at Sale Mountain in Revy one time about 5 years ago and he said he was up there studying Wolverines....think about that next time you sneak off from the group to go have a break for nature! LOL.

That is true, they are the only little animal that will go after a grizzly that is crazy....

Great pics. I ran in to one on the road to firebag north of mcmurray about 10 years ago. It stopped in the middle of the road stood up on its hind legs and swatted and growled at the front of my F-350. He didnt seem to have a fear in the world.
