Title: WDFW Trapping Wolves?????
Post by: PA BEN on October 11, 2013, 06:59:55 AM: I guy told me he has a friend who was up on Calispell Peak in Stevens County and said that there were signs warning about wolf traps in the area. He said they were using leg traps w/rubber jaws. :dunno: Anybody hear of this?

I want to say the trappers name was george but dont quote me on that. From what i was told he is a really good guy. He knows his stuff and it sounds like WDFW is trying to collar some wolves in that area. I know when he did the demonstration on those traps he showed how they didnt hurt the wolves by shutting one on his hand
