Wolves.  These types of threads keep putting up by people who don't actually live in Wolf infested country, and don't know what they are taking about.  It just gets tiresome.   

Responses like this get tiresome as well.  Where exactly is this wolf infested country you speak of?  You ever even seen a track?

I'm sure bugle brush has seen a track or two.....just because you've only heard wolves twice in 6 years doesn't mean that's how it is for everyone....last year alone in a short 4 day trip I had 4 packs/groups located...hunting elk that are getting ran by wolves sucks...period...

I think this is a good thread as long as people remain open to the thoughts of people who have been effected by the wolves, since that is what the op asked

Track?    I've seen wolves.  Multiple times.  Had a wolf come right into our yard and try to get our dog.  Have heard them howling more times than I can remember. Been followed off the mountain when packing meat with wolves howling all around me for hours. Have been on successful Wolf hunts.  Have friends who trap them.  Have had my best lion hound tore to shreds by wolves.  Have found where they killed a whole string of deer, and never ate a bite, because they could run on top while the deer broke through.  I'm a third generation Idahoan that has lived & hunted in this area for over 30 years.  And yeah I've definitely seen tracks too.

It looks like he told you, elkinrut.....

[DaveMonti]

Are we about to get into a "swinging Richard" discussion on who has more credibility due to personal experiences with wolves? 
I can't wait.

Wonderful, most guys I hear talk like you haven't even seen one.  Where exactly in Idaho do you live? 

[KFhunter]

Just found a very large K9 track over 5 inches right along my dogs fenced run.  Going to set up a trail camera as my neighbors do have some big dogs but I've never seen them down where I live and I wouldn't think they'd leave such a large track. 

Need to build a wolf/cat proof kennel. 


Her hard is fenced with heavy duty wire horse fence with electric wire top and bottom, but it wouldn't keep a wolf out.

I had them on my trail for 5 straight days Elk hunting Selkirk area, but they never howled or acted aggressively towards me just followed me around and ran off the one bull I called in

I didn't read thru the thread but I can say this... I hate wolves.  Seriously.  I also hate that reintroduction was done without the user groups of the most affected resources being involved.  I also hate that they used non native wolves.

After reading his posts I think he is like Mags and just came on here to troll people that hunt and not offer anything of value 

I am thinking a ban from the forum is in order for you. Maybe not a lifetime ban but one that will make you think about your post questions.   
Why don't you try to go to an area where wolves are existent and try to harvest some game animals to eat. Those of us who actually like to hunt know that these wolf hugging groups main agenda is to do away with hunting. This can be done by propagating the wolf population in such a way that hunting will no longer be needed to keep game animals in check. So enough of the wolf in sheep's clothing front.

And that IS the bottom line, period!  The wolf is the poster child for ANTI hunting, so if you are truly a wolf lover, think about which side your really on.  Seriously , pick a side.

Are you guys referring to me? 

If so, I humbly suggest that if you think it's impossible for me to love wolves as creatures in themselves and still love/advocate/defend hunting, then I'm not the one who's causing the problem here.  And neither are the wolves.

You're exposing your ignorance.   For your own good please stop.  I'm​ not going to comment about things I know nothing about, and I highly suggest you follow the same pattern.

you should see the deer and elk moose killed in the winter by wolves and left to rot in the Clearwater unit and up in unit 1 up by Bonner Ferry. Both used to be some of the best elk units in the country

[Skyvalhunter]

The area I archery hunted NW of Yellowstone park had a lot of elk in it, then 4 yrs after they introduced them into the park my friend drew a cow tag. We couldn't even find a cow all there was in there was wolves. The Clearwater in Idaho was decimated by them. If you don't think they can wipe out animal populations why do you think the State of Alaska went after them with aerial shooting again. If you think that hunting them is a piece of cake try it some time. They are very cagy and kill just because they can and not always for food. If that's not wanton waste I don't know what is.
