I got my first tag this year. The late season started 9 days ago, but I haven't been able to get out yet.

What you were told about Elk isn't bad advice, but as was mentioned by Flags is also true. If the wolves aren't in the area, it doesn't matter how many Elk are around.

I intend to try a similar strategy, but may have an advantage that you don't, but maybe you do.

I intend to try and locate the whitetail yards, but also intend to locate the wolves before I hunt any given area. Here's the advantage I may have. My area received over 20 inches of snow last week, and I own a snowmobile. I also have access to hundreds of miles of state snowmobile trails, the closest one being just 1/2 of a mile from my home... I've also seen the greatest concentration of wolf sign I've ever seen in a small area on that very same trail about 1 1/2 miles from my home while ML hunting for deer.

This weekend I'll be out on the snowmobile cruising, looking for both wolf, and deer sign... When I find what I'm looking for, the hunt is on... Yup, I'll be enjoying two outdoor sports at the same time

This years quota here in MN. is 222 wolves, last years quota was almost twice that, and all the tags were filled.

Here's the update for the late season thus far here in MN.
