Ya I guess it's hunting sure can get cold just sitting and waiting. My gut pile was set at 250 yrds. on a lake in front of my house.As terrible as it sounds the best bait for wolves that I ever used was dead dogs that were picked up at the dump.Rifle was a HB Parker Hale .243 with a 8x56 Pecar scope and 90 grn. Hor. FMJ 1 through the ribs and no one made it off the lake. Most showed up between 11 pm and 2 am.As for the bear on the bumper I think that when these bears are on land they are bored silly so we and our truck are just entertainment for them.I do leave the tail gate down and the door on the cap open so they can get into the back of the truck without smashing the cap to crap. This youngster showed up in the yard in August.

Up here, they weigh about 90 lbs and are smarter than you think. Had one try to entice me to follow him over a small knoll where all his pack was waiting for me in the dead of winter. I have seen them bait male dogs with the female pack members so they can get a meal. When hunting them I use a .243 Ruger bolt gun and a 12 gauge shotgun with 000 buck shot just in case all his buddies show up. :)

Yukon1911,

You might not really care if you are in danger of being eaten by a wolfpack, but shooting wolves or coyotes in the Yukon with anything other than a slug from a shotgun is illegal here. They're classified as big game which means slugs only. May save you a ticket knowing this...

On another note, if you're ever into taking along a partner on a wolf hunt, maybe shoot me a PM.

Not sure where you got your info, but the Red wolf has a great population in Algonquin park and I have seen them a number of times moose hunting.

Although probably sharing some genetic heritage with the Red Wolf (Canis rufus), it is generally more acceptable to refer to the Algonquin Park wolves as Eastern wolves (Canis lycaon). I know that some people assert a more direct link, but imho the genetic soup is so well mixed by now that there is little value in calling the Algonquin wolves "red wolves", even if they have origins as a northern remnant or subspecies of Canis rufus.

I will share a little more on that incident. The wolf was a beautiful all black one and large a really nice trophy! Up north on the Dempster Highway there is a place called the horseshoe and the wolf was on the wrong side of the road. Both sides are controlled by different Native tribes, and I had permission for the wrong side that day. I tried to entice Mr. Wolf to chase me or at least come a little closer to the road. He just looked at me, for well over 5 minutes while I was acting like a jack a$$ trying to get him to move, I even broke out the cooler for a nice big piece of Caribou sausage and even took a bite while he watched me. Then when he realized that I was not moving closer to him he just turned around and walked over the knoll. I drove around the road to get a back view of where he was heading and could see the whole pack, 6 in total. I knew then what he was up to and how smart they really are. I really thought I could entice him to come closer with that Caribou sausage.........He did not fall for it and I checked back to see if he would stray onto the other side of the road over the next few days, but did not see him again. :(

Ha it sounds like he was trying to entice you to leave the road and come wander over the knoll

I've seen very few wolves, I've heard them and had them following me in the bush but they are smart buggers.

One would hope, CGN and the internet in general has proven that to be an unrealisitc expectation.
