It's not a bounty, you have to keep receipts of your costs to buy equipment, supplies, fuel used, etc., then you are reimbursed up to $1000 per wolf. The program is working.

There are good trappers who are paying for trucks and snowmobiles with the reimbursements.

I like the idea of the thing but it has encouraged a bunch of rookies to drop traps all over the hills.  As a result, wolves are super smart to steel now and there is some bycatch including dogs and ungulates.  Please be smart about where and how we set traps!

The statement on the poster "Wolf numbers so high the #1 killer of Idaho wolves is now other wolves" Has always been true. Wolves are very territorial and don't tolerate other packs.  I have mentioned this before when discussing wolves.

It's the same with lions, not sure why this is a big deal?
It's a factual statement used as a little bit of propaganda, wish all propaganda were factual  :chuckle:

I can only imagine.  A guy would need to go deep to get past all the other trappers, not easy while living a state away working a full time job.   If I were only retired!   :chuckle:

So a guy can get reimbursed to the tune of 1k and keep the hide.  Whats the market like for wolf pelts?  Worth much?

Ive seen more wolf tracks this year than ever before, i find fresh wold tracks almost every single day while looking for cat tracks. The day i found that moose kill there waswolf tracks all over the road in my tire tracks from the day before. Ive been the only set of tracks on that road no one else has been going up there so i know it wasnt shot and left. The qolves drug it about 100 yards down that hill the first day.

My neighbors trap wolves every year and average 500 per hide.

I agree about being careful, but like everything, guys have to learn. My son just talked to a guy a couple weeks ago who has caught 6 wolves in our hunting area this winter, hopefully more by now, some of those guys are getting it figured out.

I wouldn't mind cutting my teeth in Idaho just in case there's ever an opportunity here in WA trapping wolves. 

it's a long shot, but hey, I'd be trapping wolves!

My son has been informing the trapper where we see fresh wolf tracks. Two more sets of wolf tracks found yesterday.

Just about anyone who lives in Idaho will gladly tell you where they have seen wolf sign.
