Title: Headed out to try and get one
Post by: Todd_ID on January 26, 2012, 11:12:12 AM: Well, I dug my boat out from deep down in the field. I've bought my new ID hunting license. I'll pick up a 2012 wolf tag on the way out of town. But, the biggest story is that I am going WOLF HUNTING! I'll launch the boat at Dworshak Dam and see where I end up from there. I've talked to several relatives who live at different places along the lake, and they all say there are wolves there near their houses, so I am hoping to cut a fresh tack and do some calling. WISH ME LUCK!

Post by: Todd_ID on January 28, 2012, 09:31:26 AM: Well, we tried hard but no luck. We found lots of deer and elk pushed down by the snow, but we never cut a wolf track. I was really wanting to do some calling once I found an area with lots of sign. I'll head back out Super Bowl weekend for a 3 or 4 day weekend and see what I can drum up in a different area on the lake. We did have a good time even though we got the truck stuck in the snow with V-bar cleated chains on all four tires. I think the road should be much easier to get the boat up and down now that I've plowed a path down to the boat ramp and back up again.
