Awesome work Littlejohn  :tup:

When you say "running" the roads do mean on a snow machine or quad ??? How sensitive are the wolves to motor sound ?? How long do you wait after you turn off your motor to howl ??

A guy this year in idaho told me about a wolf coming in on his whitetail set up, I've also heard a few stories of the same while people are calling for elk

All of them in packs, all of them running in

Kind of an interesting thought...pack of 100+ pound meat eaters running at you full speed  :mgun:

Units 4,6 and 10A is where the Idaho Biologists and Game Wardens told me where most of the wolves have been killed in the Panhandle. I've been over there 5 times looking for them rascals. The locals are very good at giving you info on where they've seen and had wolf problems....from what I found out, they weren't BSing me. They hate wolves, everybody in Idaho does and they tell me so.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Good job littlejohn! I see the same overall thing in Idaho! The guys that are in the woods day after day will eventually get an opportunity! I bet hours hunted per wolf harvested would blow your mind! Now granted 2% of the guys take 60% of the harvest like any hunting but a lot of that has to do with time available in the woods! And if your trapping I'm guessing your spending 25-35 hours a week in wolf country!

Ya 4,5 are close enough to bigger towns so more hunters in those units! Couer d Alene to 4,5! And 10a is Lewiston, orofino! Big reason that has most harvest!

Lmao! Ya good luck! Way to much work for me to try and get in there with a sled! Plus if something goes wrong they might find your corpse in July when the snow melts!

That's "if" they find your corpse :chuckle:

I like the idea of using snow mobiles to get in deep but do the wolves hang out in super deep snow :dunno: I'd think they would wana head down along with all the other critters

You have to remember in that country there may be 12 ft on the ridge but 1 mile down in the drainage there might be 2 ft! So they are around there!

Great info LittleJohn!  :tup:

In those remote Idaho areas look for winter ranges where the game herds keg up along the rivers and creeks, you will find the wolves hunting those herds.

Plus 80% of wolf kills will be the bottom of a drainage
