It has to be more about luck than anything. I read somewhere that they will regularly have home ranges of hundreds of miles for a large pack, and regularly travel 100 miles in a 24 hour period. The odds of being where they are on the same day are just ridiculous by themselves. Then they are about a million times more intelligent than anything in the deer family, and on top of that, all of their senses are exponentially better. That would be the most challenging animal to hunt in the western hemisphere, bar none. There is probably nothing that I'd rather hunt in North America, but I'm fully aware how ridiculous it would be to go out there for a few weeks and stomp around the hills. If I lived out there I would feel obligated to hunt them. I probably spend 90 days a year hunting coyotes here, and I'd love to have that kind of time to chase wolves..Heres my experiance hunting the wolf.I avreage 50 fall days hunting bell to bell.Grew up hunting wilderness area that had lots of game before wolf. I have been in a position to blunt or close enough for a bow harvest of almost all game in MT right down to lynx and wolverine,had both at 30 yrds.Taken many book animals and my last 20 bulls where 6x6. Ive spent weeks on end after regular season wolf hunting.Gave it up and just worked this year.Have never had a crack at one,howeled them in close.Almost got one with my truck going to work last year.Then my kids friends that hardly hunt both shot wolfs,where Ive been 1000 times.I cant image how much fuel ive burned hunting them.
