Pulling boxes out from under house and found this beast of a spider. I don't think it's a wolf spider, My next guess would be some type of funnel web spider? I guess it's time to expand more and study more true spiders. Lately I been seeing all these different species of spiders that I usually didn't even notice I guess all it takes is a 2" DLS spider to run up my arm to get my attention. A good thing this isn't a bite report.

It is indeed a wolf spider, Hogna sp. I'd bet. No worries about the bite, it's pretty much a bee sting.

Thanks for I'd I didn't realize there where so many different wolf spiders. I looked up the species and found several that looked
Like my spider.
