[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 2698724, member: 26477"] I'm the last of a dying breed, an Idaho lifetime resident who, with the exception of a war in Vietnam over a year and a job that also had me located in Montana for another year, have lived around Idaho all of my 76 years. I've also taken 5 wolves. My first one I watched with it's pack for almost 2 years close to my house and I was waiting for it the first minute of the first opening season. The next three were over killed calves and a cow herferd. The last one was at 623 yards, traveling rogue trying to kill a cow and calf elk, trying to catch his breath in the snowy field, after the cow had stomped on him to free her calf from his grip on it. Anyone who thinks that they are going to come out here and shoot a wolf on their own is dreaming and just plain lucky if you pay a guide to take you and you get one. Most are just plain lucky kills unless you learn how, when and where to go do it. Yes, there are those who are very successful at doing it but, not with you and they are really unfriendly when you bust out the pack of wolves that they have been hunting. I don't seem to find many local hunters friendly to other hunters from different cities in Idaho hunting in "their area", or however they have declared it. So, I wouldn't come here expecting you'll get an open arms treatment. But, anymore, I guess it's just part of hunting, trying to win over the locals for next trip, perhaps? Personally, I'd love to see hunters flock into Idaho and kill every wolf we have but, I know that won't happen. They're just too darn cagey to be killed! [/QUOTE]
