Wolf Spider? - Hogna carolinensis

This spider lives in a hole in the ground near my fire. I see it most every night. It seems to be eating small ants. Is it a male or female?

Wolf Spider? yes
I think yours is female. The palps don't look enlarged, from what I can see at any rate.

Wolf Spider
If it is around a lot maybe you could catch it and get a photo of the 'belly'. It could help with ID.
