Got a big dump of snow in my area last week, decided to pull most of the gear. Always kinda hard to wrap it up for the season, but gotta happen sometime. I've already got some plans for next season.

Got another tom with white toes on all four feet, third one like that this year.





Question for you big time wolfers, 5 of the 6 wolves I got this year were female. How's that affect the population going forward? I don't have tons of wolves around, but still seeing some tracks, so there are a few. I think I may have got the alpha pair in a pack I was into this year.

Not a big time wolfer but as long as 1 female is left in a pack then she will have a litter and replace some of the harvested population.

If you took the dominant female it will slow them down. Like Ryan said if there is a female left in the bunch she will breed eventually. I took 8 out of a pack of 9 or 10 and it took a couple of years before they built back up.


do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Cool lynx with the white toes!


If it was easy, everybody would be doing it!
