If you got drawn in Idaho or Montana to hunt Wolves in 2008. ow many of you would actually make the drive to go hunt a wolf?
-
Wouldn't put in if I wasn't willing to go.
We single guys can up and go anytime :chuckle:
-
some people apply for the point. :)
-
I'm there every year for whitetail anyhow and we've seen one wolf.
-
in a heartbeat

THere used to be a moose population around Grangeville. NOT anymore. I'd be there so fast Michelle. I'd take the best predator caller I could drum up and we would go light them up.

Hound hunter have been having trouble with wolves killing their hounds when they are hunting in the Grangeville area. Also take a ATV and ride the trails around Elk River you will find wolves.

Are you kidding me? I cant believe you even have to ask. I am there locked and loaded.

If I put in for the tag and drew it, I wouldn't waste it. :hunter:
-
in a heartbeat. not sure why anybody would put in for the hunt if they weren't willing to drive there.
who wouldn't want to take a trip to montana or idaho anyway?
i have talked to houndhunters who are no longer interested in running their dogs in idaho because of too many run-ins with wolves. wolves and hounds coming together will always turn out bad for the hounds.

in a heartbeat. not sure why anybody would put in for the hunt if they weren't willing to drive there...
No kidding, That's like someone enteringa contest for a trip on a cruise ship, but not going because they get sea sick. :dunno:
But I guess it happens...

Well, I wouldn't put in for a wolf tag. I have nothing against shooting those deer/elk eaters, but I'm not going to make a special trip to another state to kill one. If I could get a wolf tag to use during deer or elk season, I would do that, but the cost of the tag would have to be low, under $50. I just really have no desire to go and specifically hunt for a wolf. The way I see it is you shouldn't need a tag for a wolf anyway. Don't need coyote tags, why wolf tags? If they do have tags then give them to everybody who buys a hunting license.

S.S.S.
-
I might walk there if the chances are high!
I have been looking for a good deal to hunt them in Canada!
-
You guys would be suprised how many anti-hunters put in for tags to save a little critters life. >:(

i guide deer and elk in montana in unit 250 , which includes the bitteroot mts along warm springs creek... since the fires of 2000,, elk numbers have jumped up dramatically,, but also wolf numbers...i do think they make the elk more wary, and they do bugle less,, but guiding there for three years,, and spending a huge amount of time in the backcountry,,, i feel that wolves are not a terrible problem ... yet.... maybe.....when i first started,, in the unlikely event you did see a wolf,, it was from afar... this year, i had three follow a client and i for a 1/4 mile... not normal wolf behavior.. there are tons of wolves,, but hunting them would be fairly tuff.... much like hunting cats without hounds,, mostly luck... i would apply,,, but i doubt i would make the drive just to hunt them... could use the point tho..
