Lolo I believe is year round because of the wolf population. We were up there last year and saw sign of them everywhere. We will try our luck. When is the best time to call? Morning, evening? Does it matter?

I've only been hunting them around here, so my experiences may not match what you've got up there, but I mainly assume there is a wolf around at all times in nose and ear shot,
here wind more than anything will determine when and where to call. they spend their whole day walking, covering ground, unless they have a kill or a carcass around to occupy them. no point calling them in if the wind is wrong and they bust me, so a good set up is one with the wind in a shooting direction. usually im trapping when i call them, see tracks or them walking around. if the wind isnt right i ignore them.
we've watched them change course and leave their trail because they smelled something 1/4 mile away that was sick. they're going to swing downwind of you so that decides where you set up, then they'll either be around to hear your calls or they won't, they cover big home ranges, next try to call on windless nights, i prefer calling at night when the wind drops off. hunt the drainages for more reliable wind directions and its usually their travel corridor anyway, keep your eyes sharp for lions and bears, pig squeal as I call it into a howler and you'll see more grizz then you ever wanted to see around here, not familiar with lolo but I'd imagine its the same. they are a neat critter. fun to call in.
lol no, time of day doesn't really matter, wolves , eat when they are hungry and kill when they are awake. however, I do like first light calls, easier to sneak into an area undetected in the dark.
