Last time I went out for grouse just North of Pine Falls, I hunted an old logging road and I saw lots of tracks that looked like coyote tracks, but they were too big to be coyote, and the person I went hunting with said that they were wolf tracks. Has there been any recent encounters or sightings of wolves in that area? I would imagine that they would be farther North, not this close to humans?

P.S. I have also seen large moose tracks in the area, and was wondering if there is a good population of moose in the area or is it just the odd one? It just doesn't look like typical moose habitat.....

Thanks.

Yeah, I've been hearing from other hunters and residents of plenty of wolf sightings this year.

Not sure what logging road you're talking about specifically, but if its Trans License road, yeah there are moose. Problem though is all the night lighting done by the natives tends to keep their numbers low in that area, hence no early rifle season for moose in area 26.
 
It's one of the logging roads right before Trans License, seen some tracks there, and I thought spotlighting was illegal even for natives? If I am correct, no-one is allowed to discharge a firearm before 1/2hr. b/f sunrise or after 1/2hr. after sunset? How would I go about hunting wolves? (I already have a deer tag I can get one on). Can I shoot wolves on my 2nd and 3rd deer tags aswell?

Spotlighting may very well be illegal, but no one wants to enforce it when it comes to the natives. IMHO, the CO's are either too scared to charge the natives, or too frustrated with there being no consequenses to their charges, that they have given up all together. Let's not go too far down this road, the thread will get locked and someone will get banned.

As for the wolves, I say get your deer first. Then use the carcass to bait the wolves. Hammer a stake into the ground in a field and tie up the carcass to the stake. And wait.
 
It is illegal to let meat spoil. If caught by CO this technique could result in a charge. Secondly, I don't know why you would tie a dead animal to a stake, as I don't think it is going anywhere, and wolves would tear it to shreds, regardless of it being tied up.:D

If you are hunting wolves during any deer season, you must have valid license and ununsed tag for that species. Since the wolf would not have to be tagged, then you would shoot the wolf first, then shoot a deer and tag it. If you shoot the deer first, then you automatically have to tag it, so then you no longer have a valid tag and cannot legally shoot a wolf.

finally, you may shoot a wolf under authority of a second or third deer tag. So if you have two tags, then you could shoot a deer first, then shoot a wolf, but remember, to shoot a wolf, you need a valid tag if you are hunting during any open big game season.

For example, if you are hunting wolves during rifle deer season, you must have a valid rifle deer license and unused tag. During muzzleloading season, you would need a muzzleloading license and tag etc. The reason for this regulation is to prevent poachers from using the excuse of wolf hunting when out in the woods during deer season, moose season etc.

Sorry. Let me clarify. :redface:
I meant after you have taken all the meat of the animal. Use what is left over from after you butcher your deer to lure the wolves in. I NEVER meant to say waste an animal. The purpose of tying it down is so they don't pull it off into the bush.
