Whoa that's quite the video , shows it as it is. Wolves have always been the extra on a hunt and blown a few chances. Was guiding in the Grande Cache area and had a couple beautiful big blacks on the trail at 60 yards as I was riding back to camp to get a pack horse, slipped off the saddle and as I was pulling out the rifle the scope cap guards stuck in the scabbard and smacked free sending the wolves running. Couple days later calling elk a pack came in to the calls and the hunter cranked one with a 300 win mag, after a couple more shots at other wolves this Alpha gets up and books out ....they are tough !
We do need to get the numbers under control, not to many years ago rode and hunted the YAHA Tinda country and the valley moved with elk now you can't find one. In my favorite bow hunting moose country this year I called more wolves in than moose. Apparently according to the F&W the area will close next year cause the moose numbers are way down.
Rode through the Blackfoot grazing reserve this fall and once again wolves where everywhere and elk numbers way down. I heard the F&W wanted wolves taken out after they introduced them a couple years earlier.
Been out chasing coyotes and coming across lots of wolf sign, no luck yet but will keep trying and will post something if I find the secret to calling them in them in.
