Well said Barry D. I have called and killed them twice while taking a break from shooting coyote control in MT. They were shot in Idaho. I find the most success in howling during the spring mating season. It only works if you are in tight on them and have a very good knowledge of the terrain.
In MN we had two wolf seasons 6-7 years ago before the anti's shut it down. By draw license hunters hit the woods first and the success was poor. Once the trappers were allowed to start a few weeks later the quota was reached quickly.
In winter a good bait or "jackpot" as a fellow I know calls them properly placed and hung with cable will do the best job at taking wolves.
We had a very good moose and deer population here where I am until the wolves expanded unchecked. It's incredible the destruction wolves can do to the ungulates.
Good luck up there and be ready, when it starts going your way against the wolves, the natives and anti's will then become a worse enemy to your effort.
