I was in St. Maries to Avery to Wallace to the Montana border the past couple days. Didn't see any sign whatsoever. Everybody that I talked to said there is a very good population of wolves around St, Maries and to shoot every damn one of them. They said I was a little early and wait a month or so. Weather I guess.

Out of state license and tag, it was $181.50 if I remember right. Oh, that's with my disabled vehicle permit too. That was about $1.50, yes a $1.50.

Sorry, your right campmeat. I forgot the liscence part. I don't think of that cause I always buy it anyways for deer.

The season extends, but you have to get a new license and tag on 1/1/2013.

You may have sort of answered your own question.... partially

Seems they are dang near everywhere in Idaho, but I would think that the areas with the highest kills will now have less of them! Right?

Or at least the ones that are left in those areas will be much smarter afa hunters are concerned.

Fishhook Creek had a detour, so I went over Marble Creel to Clarkia. Boy oh boy, is that thick, steep hunting. I couldn't of shot one if I saw it. I could only see what was on the road for a half second...

That's what I was told. The elk haven't come down to the winter range in that area yet. I'm just waiting. I have a friend in Stites who is begging me to come down there and hunt them. I told him I thinks it's been too warm to really try and call them or whatever it will take to put a 6.5 Creedmoor in one... :tup: I have till 12/31 before I have to buy a new out-of-state license and tag.

Wow I didn't realize how many wolves Wisconsin and Minnesota had that many wolves. I figured Idaho would be leading the pack. No pun intended.

just got back this afternoon from idaho and our camp of 12 heard them about every day but unfortunately no sightings. it was low 20's most of the week but when i talked with my dad about 1 pm he said it was almost 50 degrees in town and most of the snow had melted so it might be awhile for the animals to head down to winter

Thanks for the info. I have a trapper friend that isn't an Idaho resident ( Washington resident ) and he can trap wolves all day long in Idaho. I'd double, triple check on that if I were him.

I'm a little disappointed in the ID pan handle.  :'( I figured they would be leading the count like they did last year for a while... I'm guessing they don't want to "harvest" too many in rifle season so that their "harvest" gets shut down...

T,

If I recall, ID trappers put down a lot of wolves in the January, February, March timeframe.  Also, I'd be surprised if they take 400 wolves again this year after last year's harvest.  A lot of cream was skimmed off the top last season!
Title: Re: Wolf Harvest Status 2012-2013
Post by: Special T on January 06, 2013, 06:42:44 PM
Sorry but 400 is a dent but just that.I have heard estimates of 2000 wolves in ID EVEN if you take HALF of that as an estimate 400 is almost enough. I read a study on here about a study in Alaska that said to keep a wolf population with ZERO growth you have to harvest 50-70% of the animals! That means 500-700 a year IF there is a 1k around... Since I think there is closer to double that 158 is a drop in the bucket.  :twocents:

I Can only imagine that the folks in the panhandle are stacking them up  and arn't making it into the count...
Title: Re: Wolf Harvest Status 2012-2013
Post by: JLS on January 06, 2013, 07:23:19 PM
What would be the benefit of not reporting them?  If anything it would help substantiate higher population estimates if that is really the case.  Not to mention that would certainly provide ammunition for a possible injunction to stop the hunt if it could be shown that numbers were being falsified to any great extent.

According to IDFG, at the end of the 2011 season there were 746 wolves, and numbers have been steadily falling since 2009.  If there are roughly 750 wolves, they are coming pretty close to the 50-60% harvest.  I don't know exactly how many you have to take from a population of canines to hold it steady or reduce it.

189 so far.  Closing in on 200 but harvest totals are down compared to last year around this time.  I have been speaking with people in Idaho who are hunting them and they believe that the wolves are becoming more cautious and are getting smarter, they are learning to stay away from traps.  What do you guys think?

Certainly.. they were running through the hunting camp at night (tracks in the snow) 2 years ago and this year not even any fresh scat.

Hunting and trapping might finally be having an affect.

Please hold in mind i know nothing about how often wolves reproduce and I'm basing that statement totally on the fact that unlike coyotes, which people have been trying to eradicate for hundreds of years now, wolves were once successfully exterpated.

I may be completely wrong.
