Certainly.. they were running through the hunting camp at night (tracks in the snow) 2 years ago and this year not even any fresh scat.

189 so far.  Closing in on 200 but harvest totals are down compared to last year around this time.  I have been speaking with people in Idaho who are hunting them and they believe that the wolves are becoming more cautious and are getting smarter, they are learning to stay away from traps.  What do you guys think?

Hunting and trapping might finally be having an affect.

Please hold in mind i know nothing about how often wolves reproduce and I'm basing that statement totally on the fact that unlike coyotes, which people have been trying to eradicate for hundreds of years now, wolves were once successfully exterpated.

I may be completely wrong.

Wolves were poisoned to get rid of em.  Coyotes just a nuisance, werent poisoned to the extent of wolves.  Wolves couldnt be eradicated any other way successfully.
