Our MT season opened on Friday and since then according to my odometer and my gps I have driven 129 miles (I live in wolf country) and I have walked just shy of 16 miles on gated roads or trails trying to get far enough into the woods to howl them up or find some sign. So far nothing and I can't wait to get back at it this week! I have taken more than a few wolves including one with a longbow and I can honestly say that specifically targeting wolves is the most challenging thing you will ever do, but man is it worth it when you finally put one on the ground!
P.S. My farthest was taken at 45yds, the closest at12!
I bet that was an experience taking one with your long bow! That would be pretty tough with traditional equipment, I'll stick to my 7mm! Congrats and I hope that you punch a hole in one soon. Good luck and happy trails.
