Had a face to face argument with a female PITA type a couple hours ago regarding the wolf problem. Lets just say I no longer support the bull#### notion that everyone is entitled to an opinion.
And I'm not joking.
I own a 7 08 in a 788 with a boyds thumb hole that weighs the same as my spare tire and I was thinking of using it for a sitting g and waiting predator gun considering it shoots sub moa with superformance 139 grain at 100 yards but have yet to try it. As for blinds I build for what's around me. I use branches to.make a brush blind or if I'm laying in a field a white bed sheet over top of a body shaped trench in the snow will do me just fine.

I had to walk home once, late night 10 km .I had Coyotes Following me they kept their distance ,let me tell you it was very unnerving!! I pulled/ broke a fence post out to use for a club . only ever saw shadows in the moon light 50 / 60 feet away. Went back next day back tracked them and was able to see at least four different sets. Maybe they were just curious who knows.

That's because she thinks you'd go after her!
Same with Stallone and others of that ilk. Get rich being gun-thugs in the movies then become an anti. Because they are unscrupulous douchebags.

Super hard, and more of a happenstance thing- you happen to be there with a rifle in your hands. Find a kill, or pattern them and follow the ever thickening tracks to the den. I've found a few dens, generally takes a week or more. Prepare for a lot of disappointment, will likely taken a few years to connect.
There is a member on another forum who has shot dozens(northern Alberta). He has certainly figured out a way to consistently call and connect. Every few weeks he posts more pics, pretty amazing to see - he posted a double today as a matter of fact.
I scout for tracks and scat then set up on higher ground or use a climber. Keep the wind in your face and I use mouth calls. I've been very successful. I use a 25/06 loaded with 117 gr interlock btsp at 3150 fps.
This fall I had opportunity to take 2 but passed as it was right about the time the large boar was showing up on the trail cams so I didn't shoot in hopes the bear would come thru
I was planning a 3 day wolf hunt this next week but the lack of snow will make snowshoeing difficult

What part of southern Ontario are you in?.... Out my way we are exiting 3 inches tonight and another 8-12 on Wednesday.....
Hunting licences should only be issued to hunters who have successfully hunted wolves, coyotes, bears and Cougars during the winter, that is the only way BC 's wildlife has a chance of survival IMO
The wolf is a carnivore, an animal suited for catching, killing and eating other creatures.
In Some regions of Bc, the white-tailed deer is the wolf’s primary prey, with moose, beaver, snowshoe hare and other small mammals also being taken. Elsewhere, wolves prey on caribou, bison, Dall sheep, elk, and mountain goats.
Wolves require at least 3.7 pounds of meat per day for minimum maintenance. Reproducing and growing wolves may need 2-3 times this much. It has been estimated that wolves consume around 10 pounds of meat per day, on average.
In BC, each and every wolf eats an average of 15-20 adult-sized deer or their equivalent per year to meet their nutritional requirements,. Based on this average, and the estimate of 2,400 wolves in Region 7 (alone) wolves kill the equivalent of about 36,000 to 48,000 adult-sized deer per year.
It won't take long before all of BC's wildlife faces the the same devastation as the Yellowstone elk have, hunters really need to shoot wolves to save the wildlife - it's not rocket science...

Thinking Cowman Bob lives with lots of wolves.
Grizz
Northern Alberta is a wolf rich environment, you should see what JHC-II from this forum produces, he just doesn't say much. Where my camp is here we had two years of good wolf hunting, shot a half dozen for the first couple winters. Then they wised up and are now largely nocturnal locally. Hopefully the next generation forgets.

BC and Alberta are culling Wolves using helicopters, trust me they don't protect em.
Miley Cyrus does.BC and Alberta are culling Wolves using helicopters, trust me they don't protect em.
She licks hammers and is a pansexual as well......
And no looky, before you ask, that does not mean she copulates with cookware.....
I wouldn't be surprised to hear she did LOL
that's one messed up kid right there, talent or no talent
and back on topic, have been out of town working but made it home for Christmas. Took a burn on the grizzly yesterday, about a 23km round trip from the house and up the mountain. Found fresh and reasonably fresh sign from lynx, cougar, coyote, wolf.... 3 of them together for sure and the usual suspects, deer and moose and loads of bunny tracks.
I need to get my work wrapped up by end of January so I can take February off and do some culling of my own

Not a maybe, members of this forum are employed in doing so. Couple years ago over a hundred were shot around Grande Cache in a couple weeks for instance. The cull is the reason Miley Cyrus recently came to BC to protest and mourn for the victims of the helicopter culling. I have a lot of pictures of kills on woodland caribou, moose, and wood bison taken from the heli I share with the hippies on my wife's Facebook. Seeing them with just the butt and nose eaten, then left to freeze does alter thinking surprisingly.
Wolves aren't evil, they're just being wolves. There's a lot reminiscent of human nature in how they behave, too. The hippies choose to see the good side of that, and the hunters see the dark side of it. I personally see the culls as a necessity, and actively assist, however I do have empathy for them. Nature's rough and culls are a necessary part of it when warranted.
Well put Ardent
