Wolves in Idaho

[bearpaw]

My point is that they are hard to hunt. Non residents come over here and don't even find elk, which are plentiful.  Just know you will have your work cut out for you.

so true

Beyond tough as hunts go, you would be lucky to get $200 for a raw pelt if you know how to process it.  Never will be a paying deal unless you are very good at trapping and run a VW diesel to check your lines.

Hides can bring quite a bit more than that, some guys are getting $700-$800 plus you get the payment form the group. A good trapper can supplement his other earnings from fur and make a line worth running.

Average price at the most recent North American fur action was $90, top hide $360.  Not discouraging hunting and trapping, just some reality.  Hunt on and support groups adding $ to the process.

What happened to wolf pelts! I just looked it up and your right. Average of $180. Still though, might not make a profit but a nonresident that gets successful can recover a lot of the cost of the trip. Coyotes are doing good though. Geez, 93 as an average for pale western furs

Wow, the last hides I heard about brought good money, thanks for the update! I guess if you want to buy some wolf hides now is the time!

If you are looking for wolves I had a pack howling at my hounds just east of Stull saddle in the CDA mountains on 9/23. They were on the ridge between the 260 road and the 335 road.
