Thats what I was thinking- a new way of baiting wolves. Just bait for bear.

Post by: bearpaw on June 03, 2012, 09:45:23 AM: Very soon I think there will be year around wolf hunting in most of the state in an effort to get control of the wolf population, no surprise if baiting is allowed. Baits have been taken over by wolves all over Idaho, glad this footage was captured to show what is happening.

That bear was moving upwind so he could smell anything approaching, notice how careful he is, he is obviously living a life of great fear from wolves, bear are generally not that cautiious even with humans.

I know one of the guys that was involved in the park studies, he told me that they have monitored that when wolves move into a drainage all game (elk, deer, bear, cougar) starts moving out of the drainage. They have found the remains of every type of animal in wolf scat including bear and cougar.

Post by: KFhunter on June 03, 2012, 05:52:07 PM: I'd be hanging a ton of snares with a foot trap or two near the bait. Set the snares for outgoing wolves, one wolf triggers the foot trap and they all scatter and hit the snares going out

can't wait until I can trap for them

Post by: Machias on June 03, 2012, 07:45:30 PM: I did not take this footage. If it had been in a unit open for wolves I'm sure we would have heard a shot. :) Baiting wolves is ILLEGAL in ID, however if you are baiting bears and a wolf comes into your bait and the season is open and you have a tag you can kill a wolf off of a bear bait.
