Has anyone used one for wolf? How did it work for you? What calls did you use that were successful? My friend bought one and he isn't having any success with it. We live in Northwest Ontario.
 
Tried once at Powell River, on the BC Sunshine coast. Very thick rainforest, no coyotes...predators are black bears, cougars, and wolves. A friends domestic animal died, so he moved it to a remote logging slash and set up a trailcam. Wolves ate it.

I tried a foxpro with no success. Even though, where i set up was "open", that was relative to that country. Lots of crows and ravens attended. I would think given the nature of wolf pack ranges they could have been either km's away or just hidden in the lush growth.
 
I would try wolf howling calls. They are very territorial. That's what I would try and sit for long periods of time way longer sets then coyotes I would imagine. The wolves we have up here don't go to bait. Most guys in the bush that I know say they kill fresh moose and deer at night in the cut blocks and all they eat are the insides of the animals they leave they carcasses for the scavengers. So I don't know how well baiting would go unless maybe you came across a kill and sat on that. Just my thoughts been trying a few years now to get one.

Anybody make an electronic wolf howler call? Haven't seen one and the proprietary protections of the recorders makes it about impossible to make your own. I have the ELK one, but it sounds a lot more convincing in their video, than in the field.;)

I've tried ones off the internet with a homemade ecaller, I'm surprised Foxpro doesn't have a wide variety of calls for the money $$$ they charge. Was wanting one for this specific purpose in mind. Will have to do some more googling on this.

My friends were hunting moose last fall and they have a hand caller with them (I don't know the name, the green staff you can buy everywhere). Soon is turned on 7 wolf came running.I don't know which sound they use.

My friend bought a foxpro when they first came out. We've killed 13 wolves with it between him, his son,myself and one other friend. They were all called in with wolf howls except the one that his son shot. That one was called in while calling coyotes using coyote howls and rabbit sounds. We usually call where we've been told of wolf sightings or kills. Or drive around bush rds until we find very fresh tracks in the snow. Drive down the rd past tracks to good calling location and set up to howl.
