Calling wolves, Herbs howler or what do you use???

[156821]

Has anybody used one of these? What is your opinion of them? What else have you used and had success with calling wolves in? This is going to be my first winter trying this so I thought I would ask those of you who have experience with this kinda thing what your thoughts are. Thanks in advance.

This intrests me.
Normal I would only shoot what I will eat.
this year there is far to much wolf presence where I hunt

Got the ELK howler. Jury is still out for me on how well it works. Haven't attracted one yet. Buddy claims a poor imitation works as well as picture perfect.

head out to the Anzac, table, holminka etc. and start sounding like a meal. Lots of the buggers out that way.

I think there are a lot more things you can do wrong when you try to talk the predator's language than there are when you try to imitate some smaller prey animal in distress. Have not deliberately hunted wolves, but have called coyotes for almost 30 years, and we use howlers only as a "locator" kind of call. We try to get them to howl back and then move somewhere closer so we can get them to investigate what we hope are convincing dying rabbits, ravens, magpies, crows, calves all sorts of sounds that indicate an easy meal. We have had animals come to howlers, but they always seem cautious and careful when they investigate, while full on gallops toward "food" often occur. So our howlers don't get much use.

I have some wolf howls on my Foxpro. I've had them answer and have had "conversations", but they've never come in. I've shot a good number of wolves over the years but most have been over kills or bait, and some chance encounters thrown in.
