RIPP:

Thanks and,

Yes, snares. We've found them far more effective than leg holds and easier to carry and set. Set maintenance is alot easier, too. In the brush, the yotes ruin the snare wire tho, no matter how good a swivel is on the wire. We don't even use a swivel on some we make any more because of it. I don't trap for money, tho, just to kill off predators on my place. In the winter, they are even easier to set as the animals let you know exactly where they are running with their tracks in the snow. They must be set low, very low, to avoid catching deer. This will be the big problem with snaring wolves if that is ever made legal, as the proper height for a wolf set is the same height for a deer set. NOT good. Deer are absolutely dumb as a rock when it comes to snares, as are most ungulates, just ask African famr laborers all over the "Dark Continent"...

And glad you mentioned it...

Calls;

Do you know a LOUD cow call? I have a Hoochie Momma that is pretty effective on elk but not very loud. We are chasing deer right now, but come December 1, I and Sonny will be putting all our efforts into wolves.

I'm just delving into it now.

The rabbit squealer works on coyotes, but I've never had a wolf come into that call before. Game department says they have excellent success with various cow calls, but I want a loud one, so if you have any ideas, I'm all ears.
