If you would like to plan a hunting trip or just check one out just click on the hunting sites below this post and get the details.

Two months left until the close of wolf season in Idaho.
There have been 146 wolves harvested with 74 wolves left to harvest,to fill the quota Idaho wants to fill.
There are 6 hunting zones that have filled their quota,but many more zones that have not.Zones along the Montana and Canada border are still open,but with the snow pack it makes hunting more difficult.
The best places to get a wolf will be where you find concentrations of Elk and Deer.
Also around livestock areas,which are by the foothills.

A Judge"s Order

Some feed back from an Alliance to save Wolves.
On September 9th, U.S. District Judge Molloy ruled that the wolf hunt in Montana and Idaho can proceed.
The reasoning was that Earthjustice did not show that irreparable harm would occur if hunting was allowed for one or two years, and that is the required legal basis for issuing an injunction.

The good news is that the Judge agrees with another argument that the federal delisting of wolves was likely illegal because it failed to include Wyoming and so constitutes a decision based on political-boundaries rather than science.
Earthjustice is expected to proceed through the legal system to follow-up on this aspect of the case next.
The bad news is that this suggests that all the feds need is to have Wyoming adopt Idaho or Montana’s program.
The good news is that this suggests that the feds would first have to re-list wolves as an endangered species in order to then go thru the process of legally de-listing them with the necessary changes needed to include Wyoming (but who knows how such things play out).
The wolves, however, have apparently heard the news and hunters are reporting they are not having much luck finding them (to date anyway).
As I have stated before,wolves are a lot harder to find when the snow gets deep.

The hunting take on wolves is at 175 with 75 left to harvest as of today.
The Lolo and Selway packs are the ones that need to be hunted but the snow pack has forced hunters to look elsewhere in Idaho.

144 wolves have been harvested as of today with 76 left to harvest before the close of season.

The wolf hunt in Idaho has produced 143 wolves as of today with 77 more left to shoot before the end of season.
Most of the wolves have been shot in the lolo and salmon river drainage,which backs up to Montana.This is where the decline in big game animals is noticeable.
