[QUOTE="Reemty J, post: 2442692, member: 113694"] Trapper friend here, mostly coyotes (70-100 a year ) but has taken 5-6 wolves. He quit wolves as they are not worth his time. Before we had a season the wolves were very regular, they would pass thru every 7-10 days but 4-5 years after we were able to hunt/trap them it became more sporadic like every 3-4 weeks. A Canadian friend of his said he believed it was because of the lack of game, it took the wolves longer to kill, they expand there range and consequently they took longer to pass thru. May make some sense. This fellow trapped the largest female wolf in Montana one year, she was 96# in the field a person would have guessed her a male. Listen to this, he used a drag, checked trap every couple days, 1st day he caught her there was a ground blizzard and he checks trap from a couple hundred yards away with binos, she was in some brush and he doesn’t see her, couple days later he checks again, sees the trap is gone follows up, she is a few hundred yards away and the pack has brought her a fresh mule deer hind quarter to feed her while caught😳 he also took a 2 year old out of that pack same day five miles away. The amount of area they travel easily is unreal. [/QUOTE]
