This appears to be a female wolf spider (family Lycosidae); with very few exceptions, they are active hunters that do not spin a capture web. large specimens can deliver a painful bite if mishandled, but they are not dangerous to humans.

i noticed it was the same spider in the other post lol just this one doesnt have babies on its back. i never seen a spider that big so i found it interesting. i released it after i took a couple pics. thanks for the quick reply.
