Ignorance is going to be the cause for a slap in the face for most I think with regards to this one. I hunt nearly every year in Idaho and every year I have seen more and more sign. Personally I have never seen them. They are very smart, very elusive and if they don't want to be seen, they won't. I have been within fifty yards of them and never seen them. But I could hear them.

The biggest problem with wolves is that they will constantly expand the area they live in. The pack mentality also includes shunning. Anytime there is a pack there is moderator. And sometimes that guy says get the hell out. So now you have a wandering dog looking for more wandering dogs to pack up with. Thus the spread.

I first heard and saw of the wolf sign in Garden Valley, Idaho roughly 15 years ago. That was the first anyone had seen or heard of them atleast that I knew of. It started out as a single wolf that was sighted on more than one occasion. As we all know, those sightings increased into what are now a managed hunting species. Make no mistake about it folks. They are here. And there will be more.
