More from Wolfgunner01
He was!
Used the restroom and found this guy watching me in a corner. As punishment for his peeping ways, I made him pose for the camera here, then, bearing him no ill will, and convinced he was neither radioactive nor capable of bestowing spidey powers upon me, I released him outside to carry on his way.
Big 'ol Wolf Spider. His head and abdomen were like 1 to 1.5" long alone. He looked like a tarantula on a diet. Also got a lucky angle that shows the reflective back of his eye.

This is why my mom and I would always catch and release them (well, I did the catching and releasing, she wasn't as ballsy haha.) The fuckers move fast and look threatening, but they're really far more busy looking for lunch than anything.
I think what helped me deal with spiders was to learn the venomous spiders of my state. Brown Recluse and Black Widow are the only real threats we have. All other spiders seem a lot less threatening :P

I hate spiders, that being said, I know spiders.
Truthfully, I don't think this is a wolf spider. Its large pulps lead me to believe you have a hobo spider. Wolf spiders have a very unique eye structure. 3 rows over one another, and from this picture I can see a third. Where do you live?

Wolf Spider is common in Florida, I've seen a thousand growing up in Florida. Plus, 'Wolf Spider' just refers to a ground hunting, non web building spider. There's thousands of different 'Wolf Spiders'. Looking at the abdomen patterns matches up with the ones I've seen, and the pulps are large, but nothing like on either the male or female hobo spider.
This is definitely a wolf spider. There's nothing really out of the ordinary about its palps. Also palps are really not the best way to determine species outside of microscopic exam.
The eyes are definitely those of a wolf. Hobo spider eyes are way different and hobo spiders are not found in Florida.
Also, there is little concrete evidence that hobo spiders are dangerous anyhow.
