I have lived here over 20 years and I have never seen one. One time maybe, me and a buddy saw one cross the highway. It was dark and it happend fast but im pretty sure it was a wolverine. My dad caught one in a trap once.
Trapping is probably the best route as Wolverines are more scavangers than hunters.

Good question,
I'm from Mi and we have one wolverine here that is living in one of the areas I night hunt in. I am a little concerned about calling it in and busting it at night by mistake. (it is protected and has made the national news) Has any one ever called them in. I understand that they are mostly scavangers but I am sure they wouldn't shy away from a free bunny meal.

i know a guy named AJ Hawk who used to hunt Wolverines.

no bad blood between the buckeyes and spartans!
Ohio DNR says wolverines are a protected species in Ohio, but Im not quite sure about that after the OSU/MI game this year!
Take care Rocky!

Many years ago while calling bears in B.C. in the spring, I called one in. 20 minutes later I called a black bear on the same stand. The place I called them in at is now a huge ski resort. Whistler B.C. [named after the marmots there]
Our stand would be right in the middle of town now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif At that time there was not much there other than a gas station that closed at 6 pm. Today it is a world class ski resort. I liked it better then. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I've also seen a few while hunting other game, but have only called the one in.
If they are in your area I see no reason they won't respond to a distress call.

many moons ago I hunted wolverine in alaska. we would pick a sunny day so the tracks would shadow and fly the supercub about 200' off the deck. We'd follow the tracks as the wolverine would travel perpendicular to the valleys and then when it would come to a valley they would go up and down and then come back to their track and go onto the next valley. Thus when the tracks didn't come out of a valley we'd know the animal was in the valley. we'd fly up and down the valley until we'd spot it and then land the plane over the next hill and come back & try to shoot it. At that time it was legal because we'd have a trapping license which let us shoot the same day airborne. We'd probably only get a shot at one out of 4 or 5 because they
d dive into a hole as soon as the plane passed over them a couple times. Lots of fun, but sure was a good way to get airsick.
