are you going to use a call sequence to get them or spot and stalk?

Hmmmmmmm......... I was just thinking it would be fun to start a H/W wolf bounty. Let's say everyone who can throw in $5 per wolf shot by a H/W member.  :hunter:

You have to have a permit from the state if money or prizes are involved. So that would not work on here.

Good luck to all that are heading out, I hope to see some big bad DEAD wolves!

Post some good pictures.  Thin them out in the northern part of the state.  They are pretty thick in there.
Cut em!

Good luck!  :rolleyes:

Really though, it takes a good amount of luck to bump into one, let alone get a shot.  Idaho is so heavily timbered in most areas that a sighting is an accomplishment, let alone taking one.  That's why the good ol' boys over there haven't been able to put a stop to their spreading.  Believe me, they've been trying since they were first released.  If you're serious about killing a wolf, not just buying a tag for the off chance of getting a crack at one, I'd go to the most densely populated areas and cross your fingers.  :dunno:

Great idea, so every H-W member who bags a wolf and submits a decent photo will get their photo on the front page for a month.  :tup:

can you hunt wolves at night in idaho or do the daylight shooting hours apply, cause at night they are fairly easy to locate, i have a couple buddys that hunt in idaho every year and they hear them howling at night all the time... and yes they do know the differance between a coyote howl and a wolf howl...

Mulehunter.
I'd guess it's the fear of the tree huggers suits and getting the tag yanked out from under them.
Having sold what looks like about 2,000 tags in just the past 48 hours tells me the first wave was waiting to see if there was an 11th hour stay of wolf executing by our not so favorite Montana judge.
When deer/elk seasons come around, particularly rifle, I'd expect to see another spike in numbers.
Heck, I might buy one just because I'm driving through ID to get to WY in October.   :mgun2:

last year hunting Elk in Idaho...hiking back after dark heard a pack howling at the moon.... talk about making your hair stand up (what's left of it).
I was bowhunting..     My prayers go out to anyone with a wolf tag.  Fill it!

Also they do have quota in some areas so deer and elk hunters might be waiting to see if the quota in their area is full before their season opens.  Hopefully they put a hurt on them but is not so easy.  We have hunted right in the area where they released the wolves and there are tons of deer and elk for 5 yrs and have only had one wolf that we could have killed.  Hear them every night and see their tracks and kills but they are pretty weary.  In '09 there we 100 hunters we talked to, everyone had tags, nobody took a shot....  myself included...

Looks like a couple more have hit the ground!  Good to see some people having some success but we still have a log ways to go.

Someone needs to get up in the panhandle and shoot some of the Wa/Id border-jumpers.
