Peace country wolf hunt

[bcbrez]

The biggest wolves are also the Alpha males
Targeting the biggest may be counterproductive
If I were to enter a contest it would be for hidden weight or size prizes, bwdIk

Good luck to everyone participating though.

This is very true. If everyone goes out and targets the alpha male your wolf population will actually go up due to all other males in the pack being able to breed.

It'd be interesting to find out how many wolves are taken per man day of hunting

get real!! no one is going to specifically target alpha males. most guys will be lucky to see a wolf let alone overharvest alpha males. Sheesh!!! we are just trying to get a few wolves and have some fun. thanks guys for the positive comments. will keep u up to date on the progress.

In any of my wolf experiences, there wasn't time to be picking the biggest one.
They were all encounters while calling moose, and a couple that responded to howling. In either case, I wasn't being choosey as to the biggest.
Over bait? I guess. Even then I don't see that being an easy chore.
Picking or choosing the biggest one? Hmmmmm......
Steve (Proguide) wanna speak on this?

I didn't mean anything by it, I just agreed on what happens when the alphas get killed. I'm all for going out after wolves and we need more predator hunters out there. In the west kootneys we are getting more and more wolves coming up from the States looking for food. Another example of the Americans introducing a species and further screwing the habbitats of our native animals or fish.

A bumper sticker from down South of the border where "someone's program" didn't pan out so good. Just research the Yellowstone wolf problem.

Where do you think they got them from in the first place ?

The wolves also follow the elk herds.
The wolves move both south and north as do the elk.
