Idaho wolf hunt

[sled]

  Where is the best unit in Idaho to look for a wolf?

I’d bet you’d get some great info off the f4wm website.

Unit 10 here in about another month or two when snow shuts people out from being able to drive along the North Fork Clearwater and Kelly Creek. There’s a new trapper trying to trap it but didn’t have success last winter. The previous guy who was quite successful lives out East now.

You have a sled? Unit 6-9 are great spots, especially once the snow keeps them close to the logging roads.

I was in the northern part of 39 4 years ago and lots of wolf tracks

I think going deep on a 4-stroke snow machine that runs quiet is your best chance at a wolf, go to any backcountry unit that has some road access to get in with the snow machine. More southern units will offer more open slopes for spotting, and that is an extra advantage. Call and ask an Idaho biologist for the region you decide on!

Any of the mid Handel units have wolves of decent  numbers.  I have seen them down into the Palouse Teiko Farmington  area but just never was able to get a shot opportunity.

If you are asking about Panhandle units, all those units have wolves, plenty of wolves, especially in the more remote areas.

Unit 10 was full of wolves back in 2018 last time i was in ID hunting.  We never connected with one, but we saw a few and we heard them every single evening.

We got two out of the Clearwater 2 years ago.

like mentioned unit 10 with snow and a sled or a tracked machine. Once the snow piles up drive the river road and I will guarantee you will cut wolf tracks

I did cut wolf tracks on Sunday morning where Redi and his wife got the wolves a couple falls ago.

Saw 11 this hunting season on the border of 7/10. Saw tracks near the border of 9/10 last week. Saw tracks in 10A near 10 Thursday. The IDFG jet A trailer isn’t out there yet. Didn’t check it last year to see how much they ended up flying.

Unit 12 is another good option in the winter for people that don’t have means to travel over snow. Spent a month this past winter up on the eastern half of the unit doing surveys and cut wolf tracks everyday not too far from the highway.

Even going on a back pack trip up the Selway in the winter isn’t a bad option as I always find wolf crap along the river out of race creek when the snow melts.

This white tail was living Thursday and literally a dozen hairs left as of this morning.

I truly hate those things.   Good luck, I hope you the best success
