One less wolf in Idaho!

[Joe Hulburt]

I posted a picture of this critter on the general board but figured I should put it up here for all you Idaho hunters to see.

Caught this wolf in the act of devouring a trophy game animal and was able to get a snap shot off with my trusty old 30-30 just as it was going out of sight.

Glad we are able to fight back this fall instead of having our hands tied. Kudo's to the state of Idaho for caring about the future of hunting!

Good job man! They need to issue wolf tags like bobcat tags in Cali. By the dozen! Or do they?

This story makes me feel about how you look in that pic, Joe.

Congrats again.

Every dead wolf helps the deer and elk populations, thanks Joe!

Two a year but they are only $31 for non resident.

Good job people that dont live here dont realize the devastation they have done

 

[Joe Hulburt]

Thanks for the comments everybody!

I am so happy in the photo both because I just killed my first wolf and that the tide has turned for us in the hunting community. I have been following this issue for a long while and it is great that we as hunters don't have our hands tied any more. It is a good feeling to fight back! I don't hate wolves but I hate anti hunters who use them to fight their battles.

Are you able to hunt them?

Are you able to hunt them?

Yes but it has been rather difficult , In my county we have a quota of 22 only 4 have been shot, 2 by my friends. It is so thick here and they seem to be very smart from hunters. could be some problems with the "season" on them being open for multiple years now. They are constantly getting in trouble eating cats, dogs, miniature horses, and cattle.

Keep after them! I was in the field with a wolf tag less than 4 hours and there they were! I talked to numerous locals that have targeted them a lot and have yet to get a shot. I am going back up there in February to look for number 2!
