I have heard about them so I just checked them out and joined. Great organization and cause. I just got to figure out how to get out in the woods some more. It's killing me being at work knowing there is deep snow and cold temps. Headed out Wednesday night for a few days. Hope I have some...

Thanks for the comments guys. Like I have said on here before the wolf is by far the hardest animal to hunt and be successful at that I have ever been after. A person can just get lucky by stumbling into them but to get real good at it you have to do a lot of leg work. First off I say find the...

Well I was fortunate enough to get another wolf this past weekend. This one was probably about a 80 pound female. My hunting buddy and I have been hard at it and this day was no exception, we went out at 3:00 am riding snowmobiles trying to cut tracks and get them to howl. We got them howling...

Just got back last night from a two day overnighter chasing wolves again. This time there was a group of 8 of us that went into 5-6 different canyons and the wolves just weren't there. We put a lot of miles on and no real fresh sign but there also was no elk. As many of you guys know these...

This particular pack is in an area that more than likely has never been hunted much so they pretty much stay in a localized area close to the elk herds. But the packs back home that get hunted by me and others are way different than they used to be. These packs are smaller like 2-4 dogs, they...

Thanks everybody for the comments. I will start this by saying I am by no means any kind of writer so I apologize for any part of this that may be hard to follow. First off I hunt a lot, every chance I get I am out. Luckily I have a understanding wife that supports my habit. My tools for...

Just got back to a computer after last weekends little wolf hunting adventure. Me and my buddy were very fortunate to score on 4 wolves, I got 3 and he got one. We have been trying to get some more of these killed for a long time and it finally all came together. All were killed in central...

Same guy and I went out this morning. 385 yards and both dogs were down. These were the only two we shot at but seen 13 this morning so not the best odds.

Those are some great shots. Thanks for posting. I think from all I know and what I have heard mountain lions don't normally come out of a tree towards a human. This case with me must of been a very abnormal deal. But then again they are a very dangerous animal and should be treated with...

Your story is what dreams are made of. Congrats on the hunt.

Never been that public with my stories I just have seen a lot of people grilled on here so I have been careful with the ones I share. I still grin when I think of the first few minutes after it all happened. I told him I thought that cat was 12 foot long as it was coming down on me. Will...

Thanks for all the comments . I feel very fortunate to be able to live in the area I do and be able to go out and enjoy it a lot. Its like me and my buddy always say "you cant enjoy the outdoors from inside the house". Cant wait for the next weekend to go and try to top the last story!

Unit 27-1 is the most personally gratifying hunts anyone can go on. I personally spent 20 days in 2010 in there after a ram. 43 sheep spotted with only 3 rams and just the one shooter. It was a 12 mile backpack trip in from a airstrip so every bit was hard earned. Here is a pic of my ram and...

I guess I will start off by stating that my spelling, grammar and story telling might not be the best. The day started off as we were driving up a main creek road and my buddy spotted the two lions across the creek from us running like crazy. We both jumped out and ran down over the hill hoping...

A buddy and I went out for a little drive yesterday and seen these two lions and after a short tracking and treeing job we each were able to shoot one. We had a lot that happened in between but end result was a male 7'11" and a female 7'8" tagged and in the truck. After the two wolves we got...
