North Idaho wolves

[Kretzkustomz]

I born and raised in north Idaho(post falls) and am just learning how to wolf hunt. Was wondering if anyone knows where these tricky bastards are roaming up in this area. Ive got all the right equipment. Just don’t know what area to go and set up in. Any help would be appreciated!

I'd find a food source, wolves surely won't t be far from. That

You looking to trap or hunt them? I can give you exact line they run on hillside but will be a grind to climb it every few days but you would almost be certain to get a few and would lose several pounds at the same timeThis was a pack of 5-7

I’m looking to hunt. Get them within 500 yards

Best bet then be out at night listening with a calf moose call or pup call…..find them and setup calling with one of these from what I have seen….check out stucknrut videos and recent cda s guys got two last month …good luck

From MN Here, land of 10,000 Wolves which our Dem Governor seem to ignore or give our DNR the right to Manage them now.....so moving on!

If you want to sit and Hunt them and watch Downwind, take a Frozen Turkey and set it in an open area you can scope, then take a 4'x4' piece of plywood and set it directly on top of the Turkey Centered, Then place the biggest rock you or you and a Buddy can center on top of the plywood. After a few days they will smell the Turkey and come for it, the key is to have the plywood big enough as they try to dig and get at the Turkey but they can't reach it due to the weight of the Rock and Plywood length. Works great for Yotes too..

They will keep coming back for the Turkey and will stay in the areas longer too. Of course be as scent free as possible when doing this. If you trap, place the traps where they will try to dig under the Plywood.

Get up high where you can howl into a large area. If you get a response try to get close and set up with a distress call (deer/elk/pup/canine).

Check out stuckntherut posts today for tips on Instagram he took out 4 this week…..which is simply awesome hunting them Anyone on Instagram give them a thank you success is so needed on these land sharks in this area to help our deer and elk recover

Dang that's impressive. Is there still a bounty from Idaho DNR on wolves or a bounty from other groups? I've looked into any of this for awhile. Regardless of that, I wish I could get up there to participate anyway

The WFM for wildlife yes pays 500-1000$ per wolf in this area so your shoot some wolves, level the playing field and score good cash There is incentive to kill these things.

FWIW it isn't a bounty program. You have to join F4WM.org and turn in receipts for hunting related expenses to be reimbursed.

I met a guy out in the woods a month ago that was telling me about his wolf hunting strategy. Essentially, find fresh sign, locate by howling at night and then e-calling in the early morning using distress calls. He shots a couple each summer and also traps in the winters. 40+ wolves in the last 10 years.

I met a gentleman last winter rolling through town with a sxs with tracks on a trailer. He told me that f&g is required to give out coordinates of collared predators if requested. He was fully outfitted in thermal/NV and was heading into the high country for a week on his buggy to chase collar coordinates. This was in Feb. Never heard from him again but that guy had it down to a science. Might be worth looking into.

Thats pretty interesting actually. I wonder the truth behind it and if so how current the coordinates are? Even if they were not current you might be able to establish a route that they are using and sit that area.

I haven't looked into it myself but he said their collars pinged twice a day with the coordinates and he had 2 years of saved data points from the pack he was tracking. It sounded like it was real time 2 times per day. He said when they got shots they did everything they could to not shoot the collared animal so they could keep getting data to track.
