Wolf Hunting

I would love to hunt a big timber wolf of the north country. Are there any outfitters that guide successful wolf hunts? Do they allow baiting? What kind of cost are involved and where would be the best place to go?

Deadwood Outfitters in Idaho offers wolf hunts for 3000. They are a very fine outfit-I have been to the lodge in the summer but have not hunted wolves. Just google them up.

MOA TACTICAL

Hit the traplines, most of the trappers are doing a trap line experience for about $2000-3000.

Alberta, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, BC, Alaska, Yukon, NWT, Quebec, and probably a few others have wolf hunts.

I did 7 cougar/lynx hunts this year and two of my hunters saw wolves and both missed. There are some outfitters that provide wolf hunting/trapline trips but the good guys are charging up to $5000.00
Try Babine guide outfitters as they do really well on wolves.

MOA TACTICAL

Usually you are following on a snow machine on the trappers line.

Sometimes the wolf is dead when you get there because it strangled itself on the snare, sometimes it is in a foot hold.

If it is a by catch you can let it go (porkipine, bear or deer). Or in the case of a live wolf, lynx, coyote, fox, martin, fisher (not in Alaska), or wolverine shoot or strangle it with the snare.

What does a trapline hunt consist of?

You travel around with a snowmachine, baiting ang checking traps. the hunter usually gets one of each species caught and in Babines case you get two wolves as well. You will also stay in outposts cabins watching an active bait on a lake. If you are interested give them a call.

I do wolf only hunts as well but but success is
not great, I use calling, and baiting as well as trying to intercept them on travel corridors.
