My Wolf Hunt

[Buckhunt]

As all of you have been an inspiration to me on this site, I wanted to share the journal I have been keeping of my late season wolf hunt. I am a newbie to the "blog" world and the site I chose was free but limited - the column on the left of the page allows you to start at the beginning with the oldest post. Thanks for all of the great reading and insight you have all provided in the past.

I didn't want to bring this back to the top but I have just a ? regarding trapping wolves and didn't think a thread may be necessary anyway, trappers do they set multiple traps or just 1 ? You know where this is headed I'm way in favor of our wolf seasons just so you know, but what happens if trap # 1 has a wolf in it, trap 2 nothing trap 3 yes ? What if you catch 2 ? Just curious I realize it isn't a likely scenario.

If you have your wolf trapped you pull the rest of your traps. If by chance you have multiple wolves in your traps you realse them because your tag has been filled.

Not being a trapper, I am curious as to how one would go about releasing a wolf from a trap (assuming said wolf is still alive). Wouldn't he be sort of worked up and scared or angry? And strong and fast?

A good strong catch pole and a buddy to help release the trap would do the trick. Although around here, if there is an incidental wolf catch many are dispatched and turned over to the DNR. Seems to be the safest way to handle the situation.

Nick,

I'll be reading with interest. I suspect you're not too far away from my family's cabin. Good luck and thanks for taking us with.

My fault should've added snares, can you place more than 1 of those ? I would assume you claim the nicest of the 2 wolves and call a CO ? I've seen my friend release a large very unhappy dog so yes with a foot/leg hold I ge that, meant to add snares to it.

You can release wolves now the same way coyote trappers have been releasing them for years.

[Powerstroke]

Not all trap styles are designed to kill, therefore a safe release is completely possible.

Just put a pillow case over their head, and they will pop right out.
