I originally thought I had a bunch of ruined photos. I got to excited when the spider came over the rim of a small pit and he stopped making for a great photo. But due to my excitement and the swarms of harassing mosquito's I didn't notice the grass in front of the spider. Ever photo has a purplish V in front of the spider. I was just closing the last photo when I noticed how clear the front of the Wolf spider was and after zooming and cropping I got the shot below.
Just look at the two big eyes and four little eyes below and the two grabbing and tearing mandibles. No doubt about it now this is an Arctic Wolf Spider.
