Since this topic sparked a lot of interest and since the level of real hunting experiences that were successful are very limited, I thought I'd start a discussion where successful experiences and techniques can be shared.

My preference is to NOT make this a political discussion. We've all heard it....nothing new. We already know the politics around this very well and also know the environmental impact wolves have on the game populations. Let's agree to that and focus on technique and method.

So, who has proven tactics that have been successfully employed to hunt these Alpha Canines?

Wolves are canines and canines are dogs and dogs have predictable habits. Similarly, dogs are canines and canines are wolves and wolves should also have very predictable habits. I've spent a lot of time trapping fox and coyote and feel I SHOULD know the habits of wolves, but I've never had the opportunity. In fact, I have never seen a wolf in the wild.

I've read that using an Elk carcass or an Elk decoy along with a Coyote decoy will draw a wolf pack in if they are in earshot of your coyote call. Wolves will kill coyotes in the same way that coyotes will kill fox. Supposedly, a coyote decoy by an Elk carcass (or something similar) is too much for the wolf pack to resist.
