Now we will get to see how information flows when there are a couple of cute, mid-20's ladies looking for help, rather than just some Joe Schmo Best of luck.....
Best of luck to you and your hunting partner hirsheygirl......you always seem to be in the right place at the right time. I will be close to Idaho at that time but not close enough to help. I need to find me a mid 20's female hunting partner. ......or two.
I would get ahold of Todd_ID, he has always been very helpful and is very knowledgeable about hunting in ID. Good luck to both of you!
I hope I didn't offend, just teasing the members a bit. People are so tight lipped on everything these days, even if it's a place to get out and shoot is all your after. I would hope when it comes to wolves the information would flow like crazy. I have heard a lot about the Clearwater area, and the abundance of wolves in that area. We have seen plenty of track down in 39, but have only seen 2 wolves over the 6 years I have hunted the unit. If we were targeting them, I am sure we would see more. I know many people ask about predator calls, but I hear about just as much success with simply a cow call. If you find an area where you know wolves are, give that a try. The eerie part is how many might respond. Kinda creeps me out a little.I know of a big black female in the area I hunt, so I hope to run into her....
We have seen several tracks but only a couple single wolves in 8A. Have definately heard about a lot more down in the Dworshack area, including that big one killed at Headquarters. Good Luck. I am hoping to get back over to try to fill my wolf tag also. Already got the deer taken care of.
For you Hirshey? I think im gonna go buy a place over there right now and let you come hunt my property
I have an Id deer tag, but doubt I will use it. Wolves have pounded the area I go, and visibility to call one in, is nearly impossible. Best of luck though.
So I spent my first stint (I'm nowhere near done!) in Idaho this past weekend/part of this week. The first day I arrived, I spotted two wolves in-and-out of the fog a few miles away. Because there was little to no visibility up where they were at, I decided not to pursue them and just familiarize myself with the area. I drove a few roads, saw a 5 point bull, a few cows, and a really nice 4 point whitetail that was starting to push some does. Met some fantastic people from Lewiston as well as Federal Way that invited me to a ribeye dinner that night. The next day, I started in at about 6:30 AM... other than deer, I hadn't seen a thing since I switched sides of the mountain, but the gentlemen I had dinner with swore they crossed some wolf tracks the day before in the fresh snow. I sat down, had some water and a granola bar at about 10:30 and decided to try a howl... wouldn't you know it, it worked! Two wolves sounded off to my right! I got packed back up and headed in that direction, cutting some fresh tracks. They hit an old logging road and I was in hot pursuit! I came around a bend in the road and had two at 150 yards; I sat down, got my scope covers off and settled in for the shot; they moved behind some timber before I was ready! At that point I tried to get back into position where I could shoot and I think they busted me... either way, I was stubborn and tracked them through clearcuts and powerline swaths hoping to have one more opportunity. No luck... I ended up really far away from my vehicle due to a GPS snafu and had to rely on the kindness of strangers to get back to my vehicle that night, so I told myself I was on a time-out until I could go with someone else.. Happy hunting, all!
