Wa hunters hunting wolves in Idaho?

[grundy53]

They should make deer and elk tags valid for wolves for non-residents the same way they did for bears/cougar.  I think $186 is pretty spendy for someone being in Idaho for maybe a week or two which isn't much time to not only see a wolf but to get a shot at one.

I guess it all depends on the area you plan to hunt though.  I was in the woods probably 30-40 days/year the 4 years I was going to UI.  Spent lots of time from Elk River to St. Maries and everywhere in between at all times of the year, and never saw single one in the flesh, though I saw some sign.  The one trip I made down to the McCall area I saw two. Go figure.

I see it realistically costing $1000 to $3000 to get a wolf by the time you figure in travel costs, expenses, and the fact a person probably will have to go numerous times to be successful.

If I have time, I am giving it a try. 

Sounds reasonable! The Jeremiah Johnson in me would rather trap a wolf than shoot an elk. Wish I lived closer.

I wonder if you use recorded wolf howlings how many trips you would have to make before they showed up?

But the real question is.... Can you skin Grizz?

Can you get digital recorded howlings and load them into a foxpro caller? That would be the ticket, I think. Howling works for coyotes, why not for wolves? Thatd be an interesting predator calling trip...

I already have a single wolf, a pair and a pack of wolves howling on my foxpro.

Nice! Have you got a response with it? Or have you called anything in with it?

I'm seriously thinking about going over. Id have to do snowshoes though.
No snowmachine here.
I guess it would depend on, if I run into one while I'm over in Montana hunting 

If I go...it may have to be after Christmas though. I've got waaay to much hunting planned this fall.....wait, is that possible?

Not me and not yet, but I have heard it worked for a couple guys during the first season.

im tring to figure out a way  to spend most of december hunting wolves

[wehunt]

I have several weeks planed for Idaho deer trips this fall. I will be carring a wolf tag just in case. I would rather shoot a wolf then a big buck any day.

[CAMPMEAT]

I want one too. Been thinking about it for a couple months. Called IDFW and was told they are setting the season dates on 7/28.
