Check them out, not so much anti-wolf as pro management as indicated by Idaho department cooperation
Any group that strives for proper management of wolf populations will get my support. The wolves are here fo stay unfortunately, so I am fully supportive of proper management. I just wonder if/when management of wolf populations will begin in Washington.

In this state, I would guess the effort would have to be led by the tribes. Seems they are the only group WDFW can't or won't try to mess with.Check them out, not so much anti-wolf as pro management as indicated by Idaho department cooperation

I look forward to conservation NW teaming up with this intelligent and successful pro wildlife management group and demonstrate that they don’t only support crazy and dangerous illogical anti hunting groups.Bwahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously this place needs a belly laugh emoji.

This great! I am moving to Idaho in 2 weeks. Im already signed up for wolf trapping course. And just found out I can buy 5 hunting tags and 5 trapping tags. With the overlap of seasons a person can get 15 every other year. :IBCOOL: :IBCOOL:
I talk to a guy that started trapping wolves in Idaho when it was first opened up, he said the first year he did real well, the next years wolves were picking up on trapping and it was a bit harder and by the third year very difficult to catch wolves.
It has been said that wolves are 10% smarter than the smartest dog. That being said you might get with some of the trappers that have been doing it for awhile, see if they will share some of their techniques.
I talk to a friend of mine in Idaho the other day about a good time to come over and shoot a few, he said right now is the best time as the elk are starting to sound off.

Wolfbait. I do plan to ask a lot of questions. I used to trap coyotes as a teen so am looking forward to getting back into it. Dust off the old equipment....
You will learn a lot form the guy who teaches the trapping course, including what equipment to buy and how to rig it up.

You will be way above the usual curve if you are able to fill all those tags. I'm hoping you can get it done! :tup:

I think most of us know the answer to this question! :bash:

We learned that due to wolf pressures the elk were typically staying away from their older, well worn trails. Their bugling was less frequent and more muted. It really helped us better understand how to scout for and hunt them. It didn’t help me feel better about areas my buddy took me to that used to hold elk that now held virtually no sign except old trails and much more wolf sign than any other kind...
