Wolves

MarshallBill5 · Nov 12, 2012

I am looking for information on where to do a wolf hunt. I am looking into this so that a couple friends and some family can come here in January and do a week long wolf hunt. We are thinking early to mid January and I am looking for any and all information so that one of us can be successful. We are not set on dates so if January is a bad time to hunt them then let me know. We just want to get out and get it done. Thanks for any information that anybody is willing to share.

Check out kill numbers on the F&G website, it might help. Than call the biologist in that area. I know not a thing about wolf hunting but I seams like some areas are killing a lot and places like the southern part of the state killed very few, I think it was like one last time I checked!
Kill them all if you can!

That is a link to a wolf sighting site. It seems useful for finding trends and general areas. The maps are updated every few months and was just updated on NOV. 3rd.

It seems like the wolves travel with their food source so with the onset of winter I would assume they move into the lower elevations. I have never been wolf hunting but hope to give it a shot (pun intended) this winter. I have been told they're very territorial and will come in to coyote howls. Also, I would bet that using a wolf howler to locate them by waiting for them to respond would be a good way to about hunting them.

What part of the state are you looking to hunt?

Any part of the state that gives us the best shot at filling a tag will work. I will check that website out. Thanks for the information.
