    Re: Wolves Everywhere

    Unfortunately wolves all over WK now. I place part of the blame on biologists trying to manage/reduce prey populations to aid Caribou. I think this has backfired big time. They increased moose authorizations and now there are hardly any left in Revy from what I hear. Wolves have spread to the south in a big way now as a result.

    I keep thinking they are going to starve to death but it hasn't happened yet��. Going to make a serious effort to reduce predator populations this winter.

    Everyone kill a grizz next year and a few black bears then maybe some poison gets spilled on it and it accidentally falls out of your truck or snowmobile.

    Re: Wolves Everywhere

    This Late September my buddy was sneaking into an area in Region 8 at the crack of dawn to do some calling for elk. He could barely see when he saw some shadows moving at the end of a meadow just inside the timber. At first he thought they were coyotes and didn't want to wreck his elk hunt.
    As they drifted closer he realized he was in the middle of a pack of wolves. He saw one to the left and one to the right. Both seems to know he was there. ...then he realized there was another in the middle coming straight at him at 3/4 run. He hurriedly raised his rifle and clicked the safety off. As soon as the charging wolf heard the 'click', it turned 90 deg and hit the timber running. He tried to get a shot off but with the poor light and dark timber he couldn't quite get it done. A second later another wolf streaked past him.
    When the charging wolf turned it was less than 20 yards away.
    Moments later 3 more lit up from across the lake. Probably 8 in total.

    For the rest of the day every time he bugled the wolves would start howling. Needless to say he didn't see and elk that day.

    I returned with him the next weekend with the Foxpro but it was windy all weekend and not the best for calling.

    Maybe someone could start a thread 'how to hunt wolves'. I have no idea, but would welcome an excuse to get out in the bush after deer season ends.

    If the avid hunters on here put in as much time and effort to kill preds as they do to kill ungulates there may be less of a problem..

    I know I plan to spend a bunch of time afield looking for totes and wolf's this winter..

    Agreed, I need to get out a handful of times this winter and do some calling and see if I can knock a wolf or two down.

    Next year the plan is to keep a freezer with scraps and set up a good bait next Nov/Dec and hunt them hard. Just need to find a good spot out of the way that I can get to without a snow machine or quad. Easier said than done!! lol

    There's been many of those threads.

    Wolves are a very cagey animal. What works once, won't work again. And what works somewhere might not work everywhere else.


    Great to read some guys are willing to give it a try. I spend lots of time all winter hunting dogs and only get one or 2 wolves a year,
    usually around 20 coyotes.

    As others have said, I thought they'd starve off by now as there isn't much for tracks (other than wolf) in entire river systems, but they seem to be doing just fine. Hopefully they'll start feeding on black bears soon, as it's nothing to drive around and see 30 of them per day in the spring.

    Good luck!

    Here's their origin in NE Washington - across the border from the W. Kootenays. They are working their way north & west from their reintroduction in Idaho. This little corner (~30 x 30 miles) holds the majority of WA wolves & they are already killing ~100 cattle per year (imagine how many deer). Wolves are still protected as endangered species in WA & the pro-wolf group want another 10 year ban on hunting them... https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle...attle-country/


    Big time problems with our friends in Washington state also!

    Lots of wolf threads to show for it...

    It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.

    They count on that big time..
