Well I guess I will have to buy a wolf tag next week when I’m there. A buddy killed one about a month ago. He should have waited…😂

Hunters will not eliminate the wolves. Doing so would require hunters, professional hunters, trappers, and poisons.

Why is it acceptable that we killed off all the wolves but not the buffler?
Wolves....sneaky fast and tenacious.
But buffler....big stupid and slow. Those we couldn't have possibly killed off? I think "we" did a dang good job on both of those species................along with a few dozen more. I do wish they'd restock the LA basin with grizz though. That might raise a ruckus, and I ain't talkin' about no beer getter for the 'flave. Don’t forget San Francisco too. Piglosi could host one in her mansion. We have to start somewhere. I just figured on the economic aspect. Biggest bang for the buck you know. The bears would eventually work their way N and S and get to San Fran and San Diego.

Hunters will not eliminate the wolves. Doing so would require hunters, professional hunters, trappers, and poisons. There's no chance in the world that casual hunting can dent their numbers. They're too hard to find and they're scattered too thin. Statewide, there's only 1 per 60 to 80 square miles. A pack will cover many miles a day while hunting.

I was watching [video] 2 lads riding dual-sport motorcycles on mountain'ish single track south of coeur d'alene lake region , wow , didn't realize it was SO THICK up there . A pack of 20 wolves could stand still at 30 yards in some places without being seen .
Deep bottoms as dense as a jungle , thought south-eastern coastal areas were bad - same/same . Hike down in there and use a climbing tree stand might give a hunter a chance - very small chance .
Have a Bear/ML/Wolf tag and plenty of time on your hands , plus a trail bike/snow machine/4x4 truck .

Now that I think of it, I believe it might have been when I was hunting elk in Colorado, a few years earlier, that I bought a wolf tag.

I hope the Idahoan's whack the schitt out of the wolves and make the Greenies cry like babies. Kill 'em all, leave none alive.

That is the truth, I have spent 2-8 weeks/year since delisting trying to get a shot. I have heard, seen and tracked them but have never got into rifle range where I could legally shoot one...yet. mike r

When done in Alaska it worked because of all the open terrain. Wolves have very good ears and they learn quickly to use cover which Idaho has plenty of. Setting up traps and snares around fresh kills will probably produce the best results. That and finding someone truly good at conversing with wolves. Osky

I've got 3 Duke #2 coil spring traps Years ago in Northern MN I saw a good sized wolf being held by a 4coil #2. Every so often it seems you get one that doesn’t fight the trap much. Most do however. I think an MB 650 with inside lams would be my minimum, a 750 would be better. They get caught here as incidentals and those traps hold the biggest of them. Depending on any sort of restrictions on snares in Idaho, they would be a bit more suited for the job. Osky
