Title: Wolf hunting Sawtooth Zone
Post by: fishunt247 on December 09, 2012, 01:18:57 PM: Because of family obligations, I'll be in Boise for five days around Christmas. It looks like a decent amount of wolves are killed in the Sawtooth zone; 12 so far and 48 left to go. I'd like to oblige Idaho and bring that number down a little bit.

I've never spent any time in that country, so I'd be going in totally blind. Does anyone have any general areas they'd be willing to hand out that wolves are in normally? I'm not looking for ultra specifics...though who wouldn't want someone else to kill a wolf, right?

Thanks in advance.

Since an out of state tag it is... $30??? and since i couldn't imagine ANY farmer/rancher saying NO to a wolf/coyote hunter i'd have the Family do some Recon for you. :twocents:

Just seeing what you all had to say, hoping someone has hunted deer or elk there...or even wolves. $30 is an affordable day in the mountains exploring, wolves or not. I sure would like to get one some, just to do it.
