It reminds me of a wolf spider, though I really don't think it is.

It’s just shy of 3 inches in diameter (tip of the legs)
This looks like its a Wolf spider (Lycosidae)
I had originally thought it might be a wolf spider, but the colors seemed very wrong… As were the stripping. I had never seen one this large, dark, and limited stripes.
Wolf spider’s patterns can sometimes vary, so you have to know what to look for. happy to help!
