Well guys I just got back from another 10 day trip into northern British Columbia.
While I was in the Prince George area I went hunting for wolves with a lawyer friend of mine. We left fairly early in the morning and started our hunt by stopping in a few gravel pits where the highway crews dump dead moose that have been killed by vehicles.
At our second stop a coyote shot out from behind a moose that had been dumped and disapeared into the bush.
Later in the day after setting up in a few different locations and calling with injured rabbit calls we where driving into an area close to the frozen Fraser River when we spotted a moose @ about 900 yards out on the ice with what looked like a coyote running around it.
After looking thru the binoculars we realized that it was a wolf... I could hardly believe my eyes at what was happening. I don't see many wolves and here is one out hunting a moose.
The moose just kept turning/spinning around to keep it's nose facing the wolf. While this was happening we grabbed our 22-250 rifles threw on our white outer clothing and headed into the 3' of snow trying to get as close as we could to the animals. We both had snow shoes but they would have been to noisy to wear.
We finally closed the gap to 500 yards and realized that there was no way of getting closer without being seen so we sat down in the snow on the bank of the river and watched the show. After about 5 minutes the wolf all of a sudden decided that it had had enough and started to trot over to the opposite side of the river from us and then we could hardly believe it the wolf started to walk up river towards us.
I always carry my laser range finder so started quietly calling off the distance's to my buddy. Eg. that pile of logs is 440 yards, the next log pile is 335 yards and the start of the gravel bar across the river from us was 235 yards. Finally after what seemed like forever the wolf started up onto the gravel bar and when it was straight across from us I shot it in the heart with a 60gr Sierra Varminter HP @ 3600fps muzzle velocity.
The wolf dropped instantly quivered a tiny bit and then didn't move again.
We had to trudge back to the truck thru the deep snow and then drive upriver and crossed the next bridge then climb down to the river and walk down the frozen river to get the wolf and drag it back to the truck.
I didn't bring my camera on this trip but my buddy had his and took a few pictures of me with the wolf. When he sends them to me I'll post the pictures and if you look closely you can still see the moose a few hundred yards down stream from us.
After this hunt I traveled up to Fort St John and then back to Prince George and then over to Terrace and back to Prince George again.
This last Friday when I was on my way back home I saw that I had about 1 1/2 hours of free time before dusk so I turned off on a side road and drove about 20 minutes until I reached the end of this road. I turned around and parked beside a huge pasture. The snow was about 1 1/2' deep in this location.
I put my white polar fleece coveralls on and an off white wool hat that covered most of my face as well. I set up behind two Alder trees that where about 10" in diameter and where located on the edge of the pasture that streached out over 800 yards to the far tree line. I was on the up hill side of the pasture and the wind was blowing directly into my face. I was very happy with the conditions...
I have a Primus injured rabbit call and started blowing on it. I call for about 20 - 30 seconds and stop for about 1 minute between calling. After only calling 3 times (about 4 minutes had past since I started calling) I spotted something grayish that looked like a Alder tree stump @ 650 yards that wasn't there before. I first looked at it with my binoculars and when I realized that it was a coyote sitting down I grabbed my range finder and started checking the distance.
It would run in about 100 to 200 yards at a time then sit for a bit and then come towards me at a trot again. By this time I had put down the range finder and had picked up my rifle and placed my cross hairs onto the coyote.
When it was at 101 yards away (I checked the distance after I shot) the coyote sat down facing directly towards me. I squeezed the trigger and after the rifle settled back down from the recoil I saw that my shot was good and the coyote was down.
This was the first time that I have had a coyote come across such a great distance when I was calling. I think I have found a new pastime. This was extremely exciting to see unfold...
As I stated earlier I didn't have my camera with me so I was unable to take pictures of the coyote.
I saw a total of 3 wolves and 4 coyotes on this trip.
I have now been in contact with several of my hunting buddies and we just ordered 4 Foxpro FX3 electronic call units, 2 Jack-In-The-Box Decoy's, 2 Whirling Woodpecker Decoy's and 2 Little Rabbit tops for the Jack-In-The-Box units from Sheldon @ CharronSports.com an authorized dealer on this site.
