Starting wolf hunt preparations... need any help
Hello everyone. I'm fresh to this forum and am hopeful to snag any knowledge I can get on this subject. A buddy and I are just starting to plan for this fall's (2013) wolf season here in MT. Though I met a guy from the Lewistown area working in Williston, ND who is going to ask some family and friends back home, were we could go, I still wanted to see if I might score on more or better info on here.
Heres the deal...
I live in the extreme NE corner of MT and I am land-locked from inside info on the best areas to concentrate my efforts on wolf success. I am a well established predator caller/hunter and spose my experiences with coyotes, fox, and cats would transfer over to the bigger dogs? I could use any advice on how-to's and tricks on chasing wolves though. Hope to to hear any you got.
Also, and the biggest slice of help I need, is location. What areas in MT would you spose the best potential be as far as both numbers of animals and good access for a couple non-locals be??? Anyone got any farmer or rancher contacts that would love a few taken out?
I make right with any landowner who privledges me to hunt on there place too, wether it be paid in fresh beef, hog, etc. or don't mind if they wanna come over to my place and hunt muleys, whitetails, grouse, huns, ringnecks etc. Don't really like the idea of paying to hunt, though I would under some circumstances.
Sure appreciate anything you guys could help with. Thanks alot! Joel

Just as with yotes, wolves hate dogs & will gladly kill one given a chance to.
So....
Guy I know took out just his one best coon dog and left a tape player record the dog for about 20 min. when the dog had a coon treed & was really making a racket.
This works wonderful on yotes where they've been called a good bit. I'd be willing to bet this would prove true for wolves as well. He kills yotes with ease in areas where they don't usually respond to the crippled ?????.
If I had the chance you do, I'd make sure I had such a recording prior to going on the hunt.
Just a thought I figured I'd offer up. Best of luck on the wolf hunt.
