Alaska's wolf man is on my list...sounds like a good one....thanks
OGoreman, any suggestions on a specific book?
As for Wayne, I'm going to order his coyote trapping DVD, sure wish I could attend his trapping school in Texas, of all the trapping schools out there this one would be my first choice, can't imagine the info you could gather with Wayne and Weiser being together at this school...
Master Wolfer by James Lucero is also on my list...
Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

John Ehn was noted for being a proficient den hunter, many times crawling right into the wolf den with a .38 revolver in one hand, shooting the Mother wolf and then extracting the pups from the den

In my book it was Dean Wilson well known Trapper and Fur Buyer that took the time to ride my line and share his knowledge. That was the beginning that started my bag of tricks to be successful many years ago. Hand's on lessons are where its at. I am not a high count wolfer but have to give Dean Wilson the credit for the wolves I have caught!
Can you tell me more about your book? Or a title...thanks

Mike are there any old wolfers/coyoteros that come to mind from Oklahoma? Monte comes to mind....anyone else As bad as I hate to admit it... I don't know. Lol I honestly never put much research into the era of the wolfers. No disrespect intended... Just didn't pique my interest... Float me a few names and I'll see what I can come up with. Now if you want to know about the fur trade in OK during the mountain man era... I can help. There were some major players who operated in the NE part of the state. Especially around the three forks area near Ft. Gibson/Muskogee. Mike

I personally wouldn't hesitate to name Jack Whitman as a renowned wolfer, whether he want to admit it or not, the man knows wolves like the back of his hand. I also know that he has atleast one book for you to check out.

Roger catling was putting up 300 wolves a year at one point. All shot. A pelt from him was known as a Catling just like a painting can be known as a Picasso. He has a double door on his cabin and a look out point overlooking a large lake. Go have a look in the morning and if wolves are spotted then the Skidoo was already warm. He lives in NWT, still gets a bunch of wolves every year but I'm not sure the numbers these days. Last story I read about him was a couple years ago when him and a buddy got 13 in twenty minutes or so.
