Thanks, I'm trying to smile, but those things are heavy and I'm not a spring chicken anymore.
If you just keep going out and spend more time sitting and howling once you find fresh track, that will give you a better chance than covering more country and not giving yourself an opportunity. Everyone has a story of the long shot at a moving wolf, and then the regret of a miss. Don't be that guy.
We've had our best success in late Dec and Jan, but that is also a busy time of year for alot of us. The wolves are targeting white tail bucks in our area, and push them onto lakes, sloughs, beaver ponds, and rivers. Very seldom will we find a spiker, it will usually be a three year old, or older. Then we don't have many deer that even make their third year. The most mature bucks that do most of the breading, pay the price with their life after a long rut.
