[QUOTE="rooster740, post: 2047531, member: 10582"] Don’t let some of these comments get you deterred or side tracked into not hunting! Go hard and learn! In my pursuit of these mutts here is some advice. It’s not set in stone, just my findings for my area. I hunt wolves some years seriously and some not, but if a new guy comes in and kills a wolf it’s atta boy time. Most guys will say it’s 96% luck, and 4% luck. It’s hard work and always learning by mistakes. These buggers will humble you! Cover a bunch of ground in a vehicle looking for wolf tracks. In the process find some public ground without gray area access that has a bunch of elk or deer. If you notice the elk or deer gone or uncharacteristically displaced spend some serious time on glass. Having a dog with you in my opinion is a must. Like a decoy that gives you a few more seconds on a spooked wolf and peeks their curiosity when you are just out hunting. Non threatened wolves will often be on a high lookout, rock or knob early morning. They very often use draws and cooleys for travel routes, hunt at night and are bedded down during the day. Calling May work but has not for me for 10 years because they are educated. In September early October a pup or kick off yearling will come to a call. Howling can located them but gives you away also! Threatened wolves will stay high and hunt deer in the timber until the food source is snowed or killed out. You have a half hour in the morning and evening to really catch them. Calling just gives your presence away. They are ghosts but being out there is better then not. If you find an area with wolves stay far away but in rifle range from their travel routes or kills. They are probably watching or have seen you, and will be long gone for a while. If you figure out one morning that you are in the area where 2 packs have came together it is an amazing thing! Howling works! They are vocal all day and very aggressive. Most shots will be a trotting wolf that stops momentarily or sitting looking at you. They are lots of hair! A sitting wolf looks 2 feet wide but has a kill zone about 4” wide and just a slight breeze will blow it! [/QUOTE]
