Idaho Wolf Hunting

I’m planning a hunting trip to northern Idaho in February. My primary focus will be wolf hunting as the license/tag seems quite reasonable. This will be a DIY hunt. Any advice on areas and techniques? I have and use a FoxPro but I’m unsure if using it would be my best chance to bag a wolf.

Thank you in advance.

February is tough for access. Do you have a snowmobile?

Snowmobiles bring mobility but they also bring sound. That’s very broken country and that sound goes/echos a long way ahead of your vision.
I’d put out feelers to the ranchers a bit lower, and make a plan that way. Good luck however you go.

FoxPro is a red flag for a wolf in areas that have any population of people. Everyone uses ele. calls! Try a couple different mouth calls or spot and stock. Locate and play the wind!

Mike I'm jealous been wanting do an Idaho wolf hunt for years good luck hope ya get em

Track machine or snowmobile, plenty of trail's in the silver valley.
Good luck & safe travels

Lots of good points gentlemen, thank you. I do not have a snowmobile. I’ll look into areas in the southern part of the state.

The problem with northern idaho is lack of visbility. From CDA north and silver valley, visibility is very limited d/t forest. Also same down in potlatch country and all along the Montana border. More open land would likely be more productive for you. I see thay have photos of a new pack in oregon. Why don't you start with them??

Good luck have fun

Thank you for the advice. I do my dangdest to stay out of jail… the libs here would hang me if I shot a wolf in this state lol

Access is going to be difficult just about anywhere in Idaho during February. I hope you have snowshoes at least.

I'd say snowshoes and a snowmachine are pretty much a requirement in February. Yeah you might find a pack close to a plowed road. But depending on that, especially without living there and having intimate knowledge of the area and where they are currently plowing in going to lead to disappointment.
