They aren't yet,(Montana) but legislation next year might change that. I wanted to take a scalp, but the kill was not mine.

There is a season: most units Aug 20-Mar 31 a couple Aug 30-Dec 31 a couple others Aug 30-June 30 A few zones have quotas but most do not have harvest limits. Each hunter may buy 2 tags. IDFG web site mentions that wolves can be taken "incidentally" during fall bear-baiting. I don't know how to truly interpret how much leeway that gives one to bait wolves...not my cup of tea anyhow. You have to buy a ID hunting license but the tags are cheap! I am quite sure there are outfitters that are in the wolf business in Idaho. Go and get after 'em! I plan on it some time this year, I grew up in Idaho and hope to go back and call in a wolf either this spring when school is out or thanksgiving or winter break this year, if my wife can tolerate it...all three. Good luck. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." Thomas Paine

Those ranchers..can kill them on sight if they are attacking the livestock. Turn me loose, set me free, somewhere in the middle of Montana!

You don't need an outfitter if you know where they are..Wolves are about the most worthy prey I have ever hunted..More of a target of opportunity,than huntable... Since Idaho started there trapping classes,the Wolves down and dead have gone up dramatically over hunter success. Jayco

That depends on who you work for...... True. If an agent of the government is in the act of being employed by the government to remove problem wildlife, then the federal law does allow helicopter removal of wildlife species, but of which said wildlife continues to remain in the property of the state where the removal took place. However, there is a clause within the federal law whereas the individual states can incorporate private parties to conduct removal on state lands and any wildlife removed under the auspices of the federal law and its caveats can then become the property of private individuals who performed the removal. That's one of the ways the State of Alaska got around the Airborne Hunting Act in order to conduct its own aerial predator removal program without incurring excessive cost to state government.

Based upon my experience wolves are highly mobile so you just cannot call up a rancher and ask to come over and shoot a wolf. If you are truly interested call Fish and Game in MT or ID and get info on general areas where the wolves can be found. Come out and expect to do a lot of driving and hiking to locate them. Difficult animal to hunt because of the size of the country out here. I know WI just opened a season on wolves. Probably a much higher probability to shoot one there as opposed to ID and MT. I called wolves in on my fox pro on a moose hunt in BC last year so it does work. Hopefully MT will allow electronic calls.
