Idaho: 824 Wolves In 88 Packs
January 22, 2009
From the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
I do believe that translates into a growth in the population of gray wolves in Idaho. Isn’t that odd? Just 4 months ago, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that for some “unknown” reason wolf populations in the Northern Rockies had shrunk, suggested by some that the wolves had moved or died of disease.
I guess the wolves all took a vacation and migrated into the Northern Panhandle region of Idaho.
Let’s spin it! Spin! Spin! Spin! Spin! Spin!

I can’t stand to see wolves killed. I hunt but hunting wolves are illegal because they are endangered.
Wolves are not endangered that is false. Wolves are destroying the elk in my home state, and deer, in Idaho. Russia has thousands of wolves, Canada has 40 thousand wolves…this almost extinct endangered crap is a lie…
Whatever happened to the 30 breeding pairs in the three states. Just more b.s. give em an inch and they take a mile. They’ll try the same thing with our gunsnow that the messiah and his cronies are all in there. If we want to save our herds it’s up to us no matter what hey say or do. It’s time for s.s. ( shoot & shut up). Oh yeh, Greg your right on about them eating their own pack, no a guy that has found 2 that’s been chewed right to the bones, dn’t know how they died ahem! but nothing left after a day or two but thebackbone.
I’ll tell you what is endangered. It’s the Idaho elk thanks to the Wolf.
I know a way to make a living in this harsh economy…it is called wolf den maps…I have located seven dens…suspect an eighth den, Find the dens boys, then you rule the roost.
Hey Greg, What’s the easiest way to find the dens? You just listen to where most of the howlings coming from or do you hae a full proof plan you can tell me about. Sure like to know, I’d love to get some pictures. My camera has crosshairs so I’m sure I wont miss a good shot when it’s presented. heh, heh,
The wolves tell you where their den is…you got it. Some of those dogs got radio collars on em..study frequencies and you got it again..heh heh.. Watch FWS and IFG as well because they know where dens are to, but not all of them. Wolf hunting is fun. The monster mule deer buck is still the hardest critter in them there woods to track down…and then turkeys..wolves are easy. I have the cross of malta in my camera too…ha ha.
Greg, I don’t know about the monster muley being the toughest to hunt. I used to think so when that’s the only deer I had to hunt in Colorado. Since movin to north Idaho about 20 years ago I’m finding the wall hanger whitetails are pretty tough to hunt too. Wish we had some big muleys up here, I miss seeing them. My ole huntin partner from Colorado said the big muleys are comin back and wants me to come down to my old stompin grounds. I probably should go cause looks like Colorado gonna get some wolves too. Sure ruined the state when all the liberals took it over.
Yep, I forgot how slippery white tails are in mountain terrain, and the thick brush. The 200 class mule buck has always been my passion, scored three so far, it’s so damn vertical here, I was happy to see a couple narly bucks this fall, about a week after season ended while elk hunting, damn if I didn’t spy them two..It’s so wolf bad down this way, I had all but quit on trophy bucks, I’ll be slinkin in there again this coming fall, if we still got hunting and guns under Obumma, probably will anyhow…he ain’t my president, I’m my president. Gosh these criminal gangs these days are just getting to brazen and big…I think we need to mount them instead…
That would be like mountin a skunk, and they probably taste like shit cause tat’s what their full of. They can’t get any of my guns they all got stolen, just like yours and everyone elses on this blog.
