Drew a Wolf tag

Got a packet from our DNR yesterday informing me that I drew a havest tag for Wisconsin's first wolf hunt this season.  

Game on.

Cool....I guess I have to ask....how do you hunt a wolf.....??

Good luck, they are getting to be a real problem here. Are you going to bait them with a carcass?

Great!

And, a wolf with a traditional bow is a realistic goal.

I've had them within excellent longbow range on several occasions while hunting moose, caribou, or black bears but didn't take the shot either because the season was later on or I was in a " native only fur bearer zone".

So, Good Luck!
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

Congratulations Mike!  That should be quite a challenge.  Curious as to what your plans are on how to hunt them.  Bound to be a learning curve here to figure out what is effective.

Cool good luck Mike, what area of Wisconsin do you hunt?  Just curious since i spend 2-3 weeks every year in the western U.P. here in Michigan and they have been quite a problem here.  Hopefully our D N R will soon be following yours.  Keep us posted.

i think if i drew a wolf tag, I'd use a smoke pole myself... but I'm curious what your plan of attack would be using a traditional bow.

Mike
I also drew a tag. Haven't really thought about how to hunt them yet. Didn't expect to be drawn. More than likely I will use a leg snare. Season date is 10/15/12 - 2/28/13 or when the season quota is met. You cannot use animal parts or animal by-product to bait. Seems like liquid scents or predator calling only. I have used predator calling for coyotes so that may be the way I go.
