Title: Idaho Wolf Season, any updates?
Post by: Dave Bulla on October 03, 2009, 09:17:00 PM
Well, since Idaho started a wolf season, has anybody shot one with a trad bow yet?

Last I'd heard, there were only two killed and a quota of something like 280 wolves.

I think this season is going to be almost irrelevant as far as population impact unless somebody figures out a more efficient way to hunt them.

I thought I heard that ID has taken something like 23 so far.I haven't heard about trad gear or archery gear for that matter.

Montana has taken 9 but the season is only open in a couple back country areas.The majority of the state will open on Oct 25th.The total statewide quota for MT is 75.My region has a quota of 12 and 7 have already been taken with 95% of the region not even open yet.

Our predicted ( by the antihunters) 'slaughter' of the wolves has so far produced 24 wolves.

I have not heard of anyone shooting a wolf with traditional equipment. I am a dog person; and don't look forward to killing one. I will if I get the chance though !
