    First wolf

    I should have said put in the paperwork. Check takes 5-7 days to show up.

    First wolf

    Trapped my first wolf today after a ton of work and money invested. Collected my $2500 bounty. Got my permit signed for using night vision and thermals in a few weeks. Bought a new RZR XP4 turbo with tracks on the way. Game time.

    Any Idaho Land Owners looking for wolf hunters?

    Yeah also me. I have night vision and thermals, with a permit signed, all ready to go...

    Any houndsmen here?

    Thanks for the reply. I’m definitely getting a Garman alpha immediately. i’m getting him at the end of the hunting season so I will have plenty of time over the winter and spring to get him well trained with basic obedience. I won’t get to interact personally with the dogs or breeder/trainer...

    Any houndsmen here?

    I really only want one dog to begin with. The only reason I considered it was because he said it would be easier (and cheaper). If that’s not true, and one dog is enough to start treeing lions then that will be easier.

    Any houndsmen here?

    Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I had a feeling that would be an issue so I'll just stick to lions and maybe bears. FYI recovery dogs are legal here but it's not worth it if it's going to make the desired game harder to get. As for 1 vs 2- The trainer said I would have a much easier time...

    Any houndsmen here?

    I have some questions that I'm having trouble finding answers to. I'm getting one or two Walkers around Christmas. Is getting a second one going to be very beneficial? I do worry about sending one off with a high wolf population. I'm primarily getting them for lions and bear. Ideally I'd like...

    Fur friendly round?

    Who's good with physics? Wouldn't a higher velocity with smaller projectile carry more kinetic energy and be more likely to exit? 1/2 mass x velocity ^2? I plugged 55 grains at 3900fps in and then 100 grains at 2900 fps. The 100 grain carried a bit more kinetic energy. Am I doing that right?

    Fur friendly round?

    Just looking for the least damaging of the two options. Most of my fur is from trapping and I don't shoot all that many, but I want to make sure I get the better option between the two since reloading is a PITA. I know bullets like the Varmageddon work well for dropping them, does that also...

    Stratus vs Fanatic/incinerator?

    For anyone reading this in the future. I ended up getting the e incinerator and I’m less than impressed. While it’s nice how compact it is I doubt it will keep me warm in really cold weather. I’ve been wearing it around hunting on 50 degree nights without getting hot. I think my cheap army...

    Fur friendly round?

    Getting ready to reload my .243 for wolves and coyotes. Curious what you guys have experienced as far as loads being less damaging to hides. Should I be going for a smaller bullet and high velocity or a larger bullet going slower? I shot a coyote with a 100 grained going 2900 and while it didn’t...

    Stratus vs Fanatic/incinerator?

    Pretty sure I don't want the stratus line since I already own the ascent lineup for warm weather and mountain pants and a Jetstream jacket with a liner for cold. I'm good with my mountain pants and Jetstream jacket in conditions down to 0 as long as I'm moving. I'm looking for an outer layer...

    Are most OTC units like this?

    Why would someone go through all the trouble of trying to match up google earth maps over the state of Idaho for a unit that I'm saying is blown out and sucks lol. If they do more power to them...

    Night time wolf hunting tactics?

    Thanks guys. I’ll check into the armor I didn’t know that existed. Hopefully if it works out I’ll get one or two more so they’re a little more safe together.

    Night time wolf hunting tactics?

    That’s awesome! Shit. I’m picking up a hound soon for lion hunting and I didn’t even think about him getting killed by a wolf.

    Night time wolf hunting tactics?

    Good to know that works. I have the wolf pack on my foxpro but someone told me the sounds don’t work for anything other than locating.

    Night time wolf hunting tactics?

    Public land is legal provided you are in the season dates for expanded methods of take. Private land does not require the permit.

    Night time wolf hunting tactics?

    This is 100% within the law in case anyone thinks it’s not.

    Bumped a bull, can I go back?

    Thanks for the advice. I planned on doing that until I went back and saw another hunter parked there. I talked to him and he said he was going to check the wallows. I asked him if he hunter here much and apparently he was friends with the 6 other people there that had been hunting that spot for...

    Really easy to do if the person didn’t know to turn off location services already.
