Must have ate all the deer and elk. What now? Welfare wolves! 

[Mark Brenckle]

That's pretty interesting.  The bear in this video moves around like the deer here in w. wa - careful with each step, the wolves move around like the bears - barreling through without a worry in the world.

Good thing you have a wolf tag if the season is still open

Thats what I was thinking- a new way of baiting wolves. Just bait for bear.

Full wolf mount for my wall would look great !!! Nice video.

At the 6 minute mark you will hear a loud bang and the wolf falls over. Weird.

Fred ...did you capture this footage or did someone else ....you always hear of those canadians  shooting wolves off their bait sites ..wonder if they like those jelly filled donuts

That is some great video. I know of someone who is looking for a black wolf hide.

Very soon I think there will be year around wolf hunting in most of the state in an effort to get control of the wolf population, no surprise if baiting is allowed. Baits have been taken over by wolves all over Idaho, glad this footage was captured to show what is happening.

That bear was moving upwind so he could smell anything approaching, notice how careful he is, he is obviously living a life of great fear from wolves, bear are generally not that cautiious even with humans.

I know one of the guys that was involved in the park studies, he told me that they have monitored that when wolves move into a drainage all game (elk, deer, bear, cougar) starts moving out of the drainage. They have found the remains of every type of animal in wolf scat including bear and cougar.

Yeah I agree Dale ...I would be scared sheetless too if I had a pack of wolves running around in my yard ...You would think a bear would not run from a wolf but it goes to show ya how mean and nasty these things are ...

[seth30]

I have seen videos on TV showing a pack of wolves taking down grizzley's.  As a pack nothing can really compete with them expect another wolf pack.

Damn, and I thought the Wolf season is a quota not specific season.      When I was watching I was hoping I hear a pop followed by a pic of a dead wolf.  And who in the hell let Humanure back out the closet??? 

[KFhunter]

I'd be hanging a ton of snares with a foot trap or two near the bait.  Set the snares for outgoing wolves, one wolf triggers the foot trap and they all scatter and hit the snares going out
 
can't wait until I can trap for them

I did not take this footage.  If it had been in a unit open for wolves I'm sure we would have heard a shot.    Baiting wolves is ILLEGAL in ID, however if you are baiting bears and a wolf comes into your bait and the season is open and you have a tag you can kill a wolf off of a bear bait.

Wow, I have never seen a bear act quite like that.  Thanks for posting

[Devinshoe]

Crazy video!! Yeah its seemed as though the bear was very cautious and almost scared.

[Houndhunter]

My family found a bear killed by wolves 2 years in a row in idaho. Both were completely torn to pieces.

[Kowsrule30]

He sure was walking on eggshels!!!!!

Clearly I was not the only one waiting in angst for the satisfying 'crack' of a .300 short mag near the end there (or .25/06, .30/06, 7mm, etc.)...
