They pay good money to shoot wolves.

Check them out, not so much anti-wolf as pro management as indicated by Idaho department cooperation

Any group that strives for proper management of wolf populations will get my support. The wolves are here fo stay unfortunately, so I am fully supportive of proper management.  I just wonder if/when management of wolf populations will begin in Washington.

In this state, I would guess the effort would have to be led by the tribes.  Seems they are the only group WDFW can't or won't try to mess with.

I look forward to conservation NW teaming up with this intelligent and successful pro wildlife management group and demonstrate that they don’t only support crazy and dangerous illogical  anti hunting groups.

Maybe some input from CNW is needed on this thread??

CNW needs to buy a couple tables at the up coming event and buy a couple hundred raffle tickets for the rifle.  Breath holding not suggested.

Hopefully @MitchFriedman will be there!

This great! I am moving to Idaho in 2 weeks. Im already signed up for wolf trapping course. And just found out I can buy 5 hunting tags and 5 trapping tags. With the overlap of seasons a person can get 15 every other year.

I talk to a guy that started trapping wolves in Idaho when it was first opened up, he said the first year he did real well, the next years wolves were picking up on trapping and it was a bit harder and by the third year very difficult to catch wolves.

It has been said that wolves are 10% smarter than the smartest dog. That being said you might get with some of the trappers that have been doing it for awhile, see if they will share some of their techniques.

I talk to a friend of mine in Idaho the other day about a good time to come over and shoot a few, he said right now is the best time as the elk are starting to sound off.

Wolfbait. I do plan to ask a lot of questions. I used to trap coyotes as a teen so am looking forward to getting back into it. Dust off the old equipment....

You will learn a lot form the guy who teaches the trapping course, including what equipment to buy and how to rig it up.

You will be way above the usual curve if you are able to fill all those tags. I'm hoping you can get it done!

I think most of us know the answer to this question!

While I was in the panhandle on my first out of state archery elk hunt this year I met an older fellow (I’m 58, and he was definitely my senior!) who was involved w this group. Trad archer who was also taught the bowhunter course for IF&G. Been hunting from the same camp over 15 years. He and his buddy had some chilling & disappointing stories from their time in the area.

We learned that due to wolf pressures the elk were typically staying away from their older, well worn trails. Their bugling was less frequent and more muted. It really helped us better understand how to scout for and hunt them. It didn’t help me feel better about areas my buddy took me to that used to hold elk that now held virtually no sign except old trails and much more wolf sign than any other kind...
