Get ready to do some of the hardest hunting you've ever done. I buy a tag every year and have yet to fill it. Granted I don't put much effort into it, I'll simply shoot one if I see it while big game hunting. But I do know from talking to many other hunters that they are rarely ever seen, especially now that there is a season on them.
We ran into some Utah hunters last year that had come up to Idaho just to hunt wolves. They also contacted IDFG and spoke to the biologists to get an idea on location. They had been hunting for almost a week by the time we saw them, they had yet to see a wolf. Closest they got was hearing howls.
Good luck to you. The elk in Idaho definitely could use a hand in this fight.
