Decided to go out this morning and do a little wolf hunting in an area that is winter range and currently has very little snow. It's primarily USFS land.
No joy up in the hills so I headed down into the river valley...
7 hours and I never saw another human being.
It was only 4° so I...
The forecast this morning was for a very serious storm front to blow in. It was due to hit around noon with lots of snow, high winds and temps dropping to below zero.
Perfect weather to try and locate predators wanting to feed before the storm

I have had a pretty good season so far. I've found wolves with some regularity but could not close the distance during archery season.

As a hunter, and more specifically a predator hunter in grizzly country, I always recognize the potential for a bear attack when calling. I try to follow all of the rules for calling safety but realize that sometimes "stuff" happens! This was brought home to me about 4 yrs ago when an adult...
With the heaviest snowfall in decades, Montana's spring bear season has been off to a slow start. The season opened on April 15th but access was about impossible until the last few weeks. I have been out evenings and weekends but have not seen a single bear, and only a few piles of fresh scat...
