Getting a wolf is on my bucket list. How are you guys having the most success? Calling them, or random luck running across them while hunting something else?

The Canadians are most successful with Baiting and blinds according to my research

Opportunistic while mule deer hunting in the backcountry. Was over 9k feet elevation in October a few years ago.

I’m waiting for Sthealthy Hunter to chime in with some ideas.

I really want a wolf. I've seen their tracks and heard a wolf howling, both times in Idaho.
If I ever get one I definitely plan to have a life-size mount. I am a taxidermist so that also is a factor in my decision IF I ever get one.
Have even thought about on a year I don't draw any elk, antelope, mule deer, moose tags just trying to look up an outfitter for a wolf hunt.

That's very cool. I'm sure they are few and far between and they move quickly

Saw this mount many years ago at the Utah hunt expo and has always been the plan for me. Or atleast something similar.

I did a rug and it means more to me than any other mount or trophy I have! There is personal meaning to that beyond the aesthetics of the mount itself, but it is stunning in person, and massive. It draws more attention and fascination from guests than any of the elk, deer, pronghorn, or bear that are also on display. John Hayes in Libby did an unbelievable job with the taxidermy, he has my business for life!

I also took the skull and mounted it to a paddle I found, along with various feathers I've collected over the years (nothing to see here, USFWS, just a few random hobby feathers!).
