    A wolf howling can be heard a long ways off on a still day.In the Spring my wife and I set up a tent in our yard and sleep outside 'till September.At times we wake up to the wolves howling across the river.I consider ourselves fortunate to be able to hear them and to hunt them where we live.
    Okay thanks.
    I have seen one fella that had a deer distress that looked like one of those early day cow calls with an elastic band but never find it for sale.
    Did look online and saw one from Primos and how they are using it but was curious to see what you were trying.

    Yes, lucky (I suppose) that wolves are near by you to hunt them.
    And good job on dropping some as well.

    I know we have a pact now that the next time anyone in our hunting groups runs into them, no matter what we are hunting at the time,
    they are going to be taken out.
    (kicking myself that years ago I let that huge pack walk....stupid now in hindsight).
    I don't worry about being out hunting elk and a bull is near by and I pull the pin on a wolf.
    I have seen that game don't get too worried about gunshots as many think.
    Have dropped a few elk only meters apart within only a couple of hours of each other.

    Just an fyi to any who think they might be ruining their hunt if they were to shoot a wolf while in pursuit of a different species at the time.

    I saw a wolf running across a huge meadow just at daybreak when gassing for elk.The wind was blowing hard.By the time I dug my coyote call outa' my jacket inside pocket he was a long ways off.I blew that call as hard as I could.After the third time he stopped,probably 500 yds away.I blew the call one more time and he turned around and came running back where he came from.I leaned my rifle against a small sappling ready to shoot.when he stopped he was about 175 yds.My buddy said "wack him".I knocked him down then he got up and ran another 100 yds.,jumped across a creek then piled up.A nice black male wolf.An hour later I shot a 6 point bull elk only a half a mile from the wolf .

    I called 1 in last year with a baby hoochy momma! He was as startled to see me as I was him. High tailed it before I could get my gun up. Only saw the one but there were probably more.

    I'm in kelowna and would be into a group wolf hunt if you're looking for a partner 🍻

    This juvenile you called into your camp looks like it is from that litter of pups that you have on trail camera on your salt lick.

    More in reference to the age of that young wolf. Earlier that summer you had a cam pic of a pack of pups, that juvenile could have been one of those pups from your trail camera, even more likely if your cam is within a reasonable distance to your camp. Need to really get the trapper going in that area....we save our bones and trim meat when butchering our animals, freeze it and take to the local trapper with some gas $$.....that is how we make a dent on wolf packs, not by armchair quarterbacks tromping around in the winter shooting 1 of 8 out of pack.
