Getting LUCKY in Idaho

My wife and I were trying to find Whitetails And coming up empty. But we found a pack of four wolves And managed to put the crunch on two of them.

Good to meet you and your wife and thanks again for killing a couple wolves off the river! I went out there Friday to get some work stuff done and didn’t find any fresh tracks. Headed out to spend the day out there now!

I’d like to say thanks to everyone who was so friendly and helpful on our hunts. I do have more pictures I’m still in the back country hunting and have very limited cell service. All four wolves were the same gray color.

Probably not the only hunt this fall interrupted by wolves, but how fantastic you can take a couple and share the story, as well as have a couple taxidermy pieces you can keep those memories close forever! Congrats to both of you and great shooting!
