Hey Hunting BC family, I have only been big game hunting for a few years now, and went out to a new spot (for me) in Region 8 based on a recommendation of a family friend. Right away we saw tons of Elk and deer tracks and freshly used game trails, but very little droppings. I finally got high enough up on the mountain and found wolf sign everywhere - on almost every major game trail. I've never come across so much wolf sign, so as one would expect, we didn't see anything except for a pair of muley does all day.

Note: this area is not a single cutblock, but a 30km logging road with turn offs every 5km or so.

Any advice for hunting an area with a wolf presence?

Avoid cutblocks and get into the thick brush?
Will it push the animals lower or higher?
Or just pack it up and head home?

Thanks!

Oh I see you hunted the same area I hunted last weekend.
Hunt the wolves. I almost bagged one.

Odds are deer will be in the thick stuff and on alert higher than normal. You could still hunt them successfully but often I move on and hunt areas the deer will be less spooky

Or start hunting the wolves and push them out of your hunting area
