Anyone else run into wolves near 49?
« on: September 23, 2015, 02:11:39 PM »
All season hearing the wolves howl in the drainages surrounding 49 degrees north. Saturday they were running my drainage. No elk talking after the howls.

I have spent quite a bit of time up around there and haven't heard or seen any but hearing this makes my blood boil! I hate wolves!!!
When did you hear them? I was up there yesterday.

I haven't seen or heard them this hear in my area. They were here last year. I'm hunting unpressured elk as far as I can tell and have heard 1 elk bugle in 12 days of hunting. Very strange year. Even the satellites just don't seem to care.

Were they talking good for you before the wolves?

There's no, before the wolves.....   I know you what you meant, but they have been heavy in there for several years.   I think it does change how the elk talk

They were fairly quiet before the howling but at least a few bugles each night in the canyon. Then the days of howling and no elk talk at all.

Actually elk talk this year was really weird both up in 117 and down in the blues.

I got into the wolves around the Power Lake area over the last 10 days.  Lots of sign, fresh tracks, a couple of howls, and ZERO elk talk.  I found the elk tonight but I couldn't get it done.  They were very quiet, I didn't hear a bugle all season.
