"100 years goes faster than you think" Hunt two tags, and help your father. If life does not allow for that prioritize. 1- Hunt with your father over all else, I've been hunting without mine for over 25 years. Time on the mountain with Father/your kids would always be my first hunting...

Though I haven't used cameras for deer, or elk, they have been an important part of my wolf trapping. Losing them is just another handcuff added to our already to restrictive wolf harvest methods.

Congrats!! A nice bull for sure. Hope you guys got to stay, and enjoy a few days of chasing deer.

Lightning crk road is washed out, and wont be repaired for a couple of years. Try Trail crk or Grouse crk. Very little timber harvest in this unit, Trail creek has the majority of timber harvest. IF you are hunting after Nov 10th I would grab a deer tag. This was a trophy Unit Some great...

Sportsmen can make a difference. The Idaho Panhandle was being destroyed by wolves. We were losing both elk and moose at alarming rates, tag numbers have been reduced, and numbers still plummet in all of the remote areas that wolves called home. Elk hunters started trapping wolves, most of us...

Consider looking into Clark fork Outfitters, in Units 4, and 4a. These Units have recently had the seasons extended, and you can now take two bears in these Units. The new rules are an attempt by IDFG to slow predation on elk calves. I have not hunted with Leon, but I spend a lot of time in...

Congrats!! Thanks for all the help in saving elk. Taking five of the hardest animals to hunt in the States is no small task. No doubt a combination of hard work and a developed skill. My hat is of to you. I sent you a pm regarding your new trapping adventures. Thank you for sharing...

They figured out how to keep the system from crashing, send the tags out in the mail first. A friend just called, and his elk tag was in the mail today. Good luck to all!

BPK you are right the trapping wolves has proven to be a very valuable management tool. I have several friends with over twenty wolves each, they all rely on the support of a sportsmen's group called F4WM. $35 to become a member. F4WM now has over 500 supporting members. The only thing this...

34 wolves killed in unit 4 last year. That is more than any other unit in the State. Unfortantely those wolves were not eating mosquitos. Unit 4 is on a serious trend to become the next dead zone. That being said you can still find one, its just harder than it used to be. Enjoy the trip, and...

To those that don't have it you cant explain it. To those that do have it, you don't have to explain it. It's in your soul.

If they are correct on the poaching numbers 600 elk,80 moose,260 muleys, and 1000 whitetail. This needs to be addressed. Consider that if we have a minimum of 600 wolves they are eating 16-23 elk each per year. At 20 each that is 12,000 elk per year, by far the biggest issue we have with big...

Avery Idaho, The St Joe river. The Panhandle Region of Idaho harvests more wolves than any other by far. http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/hunt/?getPage=121 When you see those harvest stats you can see why we would be happy to have you come hunt the Panhandle, we have plenty of them. The...

The Lolo has habitat to support many times the elk we have to day. What do you think the 100 wolves have been eating. I believe it is 1600 elk a year that the existing habitat has been supporting. I am all for habitat improvements, after the predator problem that biologists have identified have...

Idaho Fish and Game makes progress in the Lolo. 23 wolves killed from a helicopter. http://www.spokesman.com/blogs/outdoors/2014/feb/28/idaho-kills-23-wolves-month-lolo-zone/ Sound management require action.

I do belong, I have never taken money for harvesting a wolf. This organization has caused trappers in the Panhandle Region of Idaho to harvest more wolves than the entire rest of the state combined. This means conserving more elk than the rest of the state combined. Trappers trap for money...

I am no expert. My experience is limited to living in elk/wolf country. I have put my own tag on eight wolves, and I have assisted in four others. I take an elk every year with a bow. I spend nearly a hundred days a year on the ground. and regularly visit with local big game biologist. Our...

Funny how hard working humble people are always the "lucky" ones. Congrats on a great trophy, and thank you for saving elk. Suggest we get that man some gas money & send him back out.

http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/hunt/?getPage=121 Looks like if you want a wolf the Panhandle is a good place to start. Harvest numbers are ahead of all other regions, not just this year but past seasons as well.

Thanks for doing your part riverrat, and congrats on a great looking dog.

My son and a friend both howled wolves in last week. Each was just mouth howled in. The friend has done it before and is very confident that he will do it again. He says the problem is locating them. This morning I googled locating wolves with a siren. Wolves will howl at train whistles, air...

Every problem is waiting for a solution. An organization has been formed that is writing checks for the harvest of wolves. Because Idaho Fish And Game predator harvest objectives had not been met this group was formed to help close the gap. We are not an anti wolf organization, we are a predator...

F4WM.ORG these guys are making a difference!!!

No class required. Good luck!!

Thanks for the responses. I have not hunted bears for years, I don't think we ever checked them back when I was hunting them.

Was told last night that mandatory check has been required for bears in Region 1 for forty years. Though I don't shoot a lot of bears I don't ever remember having to check them. Am I getting old or is this a new requirement starting two or three years ago??

Idaho Panhandle has more wolves harvested than any other wolf management unit each of the past two years. The Panhandle is also ahead of all others so far this year. Wolf hunting is difficult, if you are going to go, drive until you reach the best hunting (the Panhandle)then hunt hard...
