So you want to kill the wolves, so that you can kill elk? Have you tried not killing anything and leaving nature alone?

@@emilydavison2053 leave the basement and the comment section of videos you hate watch.

It's not hunting, sport or 'harvesting ', just pointless killing and destroying the environment. Left alone, the numbers of predators and prey will balance out. People with guns, satellite tracking, SUVs are killing for no reason. I guess it makes beta men feel like they've got a big penis.

Just curious, what is a low population of elk? Just googling I’m seeing 125,000 elk in Idaho today I’m cuties what it was in early 2000s. Are we talking like 100,000 elk or 20,000? Can’t believe we have 1,000 here in PA now. Can’t imagine them expanding east in PA

@@emilydavison2053 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... You are funny. Do other people laugh at you?

Agree maybe a 12gauge would be ideal for close range

Foxpro calls will do it for you.

That would be fine. Most importantly you will need to locate them with some kind of call.

@@edchoi2428 I have know idea. Just call the Idaho Fish and Game department and they should be able to help!

@@MsTrint I appreciate it :)

I say 700 to 800 in my opinion

yeah it's a chain effect, the wolves will kill elk and reproduce a higher number of wolves which leads to them overhunting the elk and then the wolf population will starve to death

Is supposed to be less than 400!

Wolf hunting disgusts me, but If ur going to do that, please don’t hunt gray/grey wolfs. They are endangered and its population is slowly stabling.

@@DaenerysStormbornTargaryen There are 250,000 gray wolves worldwide. There are almost 15,000 gray wolves in the United States. They are anything but endangered.

Likewise. Your guy's channel is awesome!

@@searpro1433 thank

When I order the Fox Pro Fusion I had them upload all the calls before they shipped it to me. (Call them or go on their website.) Helpful hint, if their is a regular dog call or dog distress to add that. Wolfs will kill domestic family dogs in their area.

curious. did they lift the ban on the use of electronic calls for wolf in Alberta? I also reside in Albert, maybe it's just my area that electronic calls are not permitted for wolf or cougar. I hunt both and when I first started to pursue both species I was stopped by fish and wildlife for a spot check and was informed that I was not permitted to use electronic calls for wolf or cougar but hand to mouth calls are permitted. which I had both with me that day but because I was driving and not actually at my spot that I was hunting, the officer had only given me warning about that electronic call and was informed not to use it while in the course of hunting wolves or cougar.

A quick google search will turn up several maps showing where many of the packs' ranges are as well as which counties have had the most wolf damage (to both wildlife and livestock). I would recommend going to those counties and locate the wolves, then move in and set up on them. Concerning an AR set-up. I agree I wish more guys would use AR's for wolf hunting as I believe this guy could have easily killed several more. However, I would disagree about removing the scope in the field while hunting. I understand changing the scope between uppers however there is no need to "fast change" as you put it while hunting. Instead consider using and offset sight mount and then you can simply and quickly tilt your rifle inward and use iron sights or a red dot. This makes the transition super quick. Anyway, good luck to you in the future.

AR is the only way. I would have been mauled to death if it weren't for my AR15. After shooting one the others kept charging at me. It was neck hair raising being surrounded by them. If I had a bolt action I wouldn't be here typing this. Wolves are freaking bold, 10 years ago I don't remember then being this bold. If I shot one the rest would retreat. Last year was different they kept charging in intervals every few minutes. I never been so scared in my life. AR15 is the only way for me. Don't risk your life out there.

Early August 10-11am

Yes. They have left over grant money in some areas from last year. Mine was a $1000.00 per wolf. : )

@@MsTrint way to go! I helped with the Banquet fundraiser in the Treasure Valley this year.

Instantly.

If you hit the heart or head then yes, but what about when you don’t get the perfect shof?

@@jimmysuros6302 seconds

@@jimmysuros6302 you have to remember there are three ways of dying in the wild one starvation, starvation take weeks. infection, infection takes months. And predation, which takes hours. All three are suffering through long periods of time. A well placed shot takes seconds

I remember a documentary where someone managed to save a wolf that was shot. . (That wolf did not attack humans.)

There should not be any wolf hunting allowed

@@slinkypt8988 (SlinkyPT commented: "There should not be any wolf hunting allowed in the first place people like you fucking make me sick so does everybody else that think wolf hunting is a good thing fucking). With a name like Slinky I'll bet everyone takes you seriously...

stinky Apparently, like most people like you have no clue what damage wolves have done!! Example, feel free to look it up! 1995 there were 27500 -32000 head of elk in the Jackson Hole, Yellowstone Ecosystem. Today the number is down to 4500-6000 left. Hunters don’t what to eliminate the wolves however, their numbers need be managed. With the wolf population over the carrying capacity they are actually doing harm to themselves with parvovirus and mange. Great news is wolf season opens here in Wyoming, bet your a$$ I’ll be after them! Now take some time and go educate yourself before making comments about something you have no clue about. You wanting to protect the wolves, well I’m here to protect the deer, elk, antelope, moose and the baby cubs that the wolves did up out of their den and kill them!!!

@@stevelefforge6689 If you claim the wolves are decimating elk populations, then the burden of proof is on YOU to provide the evidence. This, sir, is how logic works. You don't get to make a claim and then demand Stinky (haha) look for the evidence. And by evidence I mean scientific research, not anecdotal evidence from hunters who probably are only hunting in one small geographic region and then concluding since they aren't seeing elk that this must mean the overall elk population is being "decimated". I also find it curious that human beings spread over most of the North American continent in the current US and bred like rabbits, invading the wolves' territory and then have the audacity to say that wolves have upset the ecological balance when wolves, elk, deer, and other species flourished before settlers and their descendants brought civilization into the animals' habitat. I mean, the lack of reasoning is just astounding. And I say this as someone who grew up hunting and am usually very pro-hunter; that is, when hunters aren't behaving with zero respect for their prey or doing their usual fear-mongering.

You are aware that elk and wolves seemed to co-exist quite well for tens of thousands of years before Americans started settling the west and extirpating the wolves? Or did this slip your mind?

@@djpangburn7505 they are good at lying.

He is. He's eliminating vermin.

Ha Haa

But in the mean time, I hope he shoots more stupid wolves.

Clearly you aren't educated about the wolf population in Idaho and how it affects life here. Maybe someday you'll learn about how others live their life

They kill everything elk beaver deer just anything the grey wolf kills so now hunting elk is now not possible for a limited time because they wolves have killed A lot of them so we need to kill them

Then why are you watching ? I literally had to look up wolf hunting video for this to even display on my feed so..? What💀

Conservation… Bang

Actually they are not endangered in Idaho at all. Just the opposite, we have far too many. And gry wolves are the worst. If they were timber wolves, that would be better, they were actually native to here. Grey wolves are far bigger monsters. And they kill for sport; out of instinct. They commonly leave rotting carcasses

That's nice. Thanks for your unnecessary opinion...

I respectfully decline.

@@MsTrint Why would you hunt wolves when there are less than 1,000 of them left in Idaho? Honestly, what do you get out of hunting an already threatened animal? Like I can understand hunting an animal if it's wreaking havoc on the ecosystem, but it's because of careless people like you that so many of these wonderful, beautiful species are already extinct 🙄

@@therealronniej There should be ZERO left in Idaho. Or anywhere else for that matter.

No they aren't. And they should eliminate 100% of these cockroaches. Silly wolf kweer.

Wolves will absolutely wreak havoc on an ecosystem if numbers are left unchecked. Clearly your not understanding how hunting works.

Wow,,, you are one messed up human being.
