The Custer wolf was a notorious livestock predator that roamed in the 1911 to 1920 period near Custer, South Dakota.  The wolf took hundreds of cattle in its career, a fact that was brought about by the fact it engaged in surplus killing.

The wolf was killed by Federal "wolfer" H. P. Williams, an employee of the United States Department of Agriculture's Biological Survey..  It took Williams seven months to track the wolf down, with Williams first killing two coyotes that had taken up running with the wolf.
