Wolf Hunting with a call
- Thread starter dadams41
- Start date
yes it works. haven't haD A LOT OF LUCK YET MYSELF BUT KNOW SOME WHO HAVE.
been told to try coyote howls. wolves are territorial and don't like coyotes on their turf.
if you set-up where they can hear you , there is a fairly good chance they will come in.
wolf season however is closed till fall. so ,while you can still call them ,you cannot shoot them.

I will be in unit 10. I'm pretty sure it is open until the end of June up there isn't it? I know it is different in a lot of units.
Dadams, I stand corrected. I just looked it up and it seems you are correct and I am wrong. my bad.

Dam right it works!! We were not hunting wolves but bobcat, dog's are treeing and the wolves sneak in and kill! Happened several times loosing only one, luckily!
My wife isn't real happy about this trip either. I'm sure she will have her own trip planned any day now. Hers will cost a lot more than mine though!

I've put this on here before, but any of you that are making trips to Idaho between Dec and March you need to look up the Foundation for Wildlife Management. They reimburse you for costs of wolf hunting up to $500 per wolf. They formed to help the serious trapper knowing the ones that are serious about it are needing help financially to offset the costs of trapping. It is a great program and indorsed by the RMEF and Idaho F&G.

never hunted wolves but if elk are in the area maybe a calf call along with a cow call could catch their interest just long enough to get a hide

That's how I shot my wolf last year (2016). It was opening day of rifle in Montana and i was using some soft cow calls with a reed. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and i was in a deep canyon where bulls were in September. It was really quiet and as I walked through an opening I saw two wolves 10 yards away. We were all startled and they both ran a short distance. One ran only to 17 yards broadside and i shot him. I only saw two, but there was a pack of four. I felt as though they thought I was dinner and were hunting me because of the cow calls. They are ferocious predators. Picture below is what was in his stomach - deer hide with an Eastmans Outdoor Edge knife next to it for reference.

I wonder how well this would work in the spring when calf?s are being born. I have heard several stories of people elk hunting and cow calling and having wolves come in. I guess I?ll see how it works for me this year.That's how I shot my wolf last year (2016). It was opening day of rifle in Montana and i was using some soft cow calls with a reed.

I think it would work pretty well. Another thing to throw into your calling setup would be a calf in distress call. Definitely keep your head on a swivel though.
If you're going to be in griz country I would be cautious about calling and not do it without someone with you for another set of eyes.
