[QUOTE="Troutslayer2, post: 2040776, member: 25190"] I’m no expert but I have wolf encounters every year. If I were specifically going to hunt them I would look for ungulates. I have seen elk hunters abandon a basin because they run into wolves. Um, yeah, there are wolves there because there are elk there. Several times I have glassed packs on recent kills, one I just straight up saw wolves on a fresh kill and another time I saw birds which led me to a kill and I will tell you the mistake I made that time. I saw all these birds hanging around so I went over to inspect the spot. There was an elk carcass mostly picked clean, wolf tracks all over the place but there didn’t seem to be a bite of meat left on it. I dedicated half the morning to sitting on that kill and when nothing showed up I started second guessing it, thinking there was nothing left, they had moved on. So I adjusted my position to much farther away to get more views of vast terrain instead of just this little area, but I could still somewhat see it. About an hour after I did that I saw 2 wolves running towards that kill and by the time I could get over there they were no longer there. Had I sat that out for a while longer I would have got a shot. So I would say if you find a kill even if it looks like there is no food left on it, it might be worth giving it a day. [/QUOTE]
