I will be attending one of those trapping classes...

These were my dogs and this is what happened to me on September 19th, 2011. It happened ten miles northeast of Headquarters, Idaho on Deadhorse Mountain. So, if you are hunting the Clearwater country in north central Idaho, please be careful... the wolves will kill your dogs.

Thank you Marshall ...

They sure look good.

Perhaps those of you following this fine example of houndsmen comraderie, can see why Oregon, Washington, California and other States have lost, and will continue to lose some of the hound hunting seasons and species. Who cares if someone wants to post pictures of his success? Who cares what color ...

Amen to that brother.

I have never heard the moniker "yellowjacket" applied to this bloodlines but I am very familiar with both Blaster and Cricket and their bloodlines. I believe there is a member on this board who goes by the username - "yellowjacket" -, maybe he is associated somehow.

Between the wolves and the whole, no roads thing, it will make hunting the Selway zone an adventure for sure.

I don't know about the northern part of the state but in the southeast units our cats are hurting badly.

Northern Idaho is pretty bad too. Here in the Clearwater there are no quotas at all, which, among other things, has led to a very low cougar population. Having seen how many cougar we had even ...

Hey Fred, when are you going to put that Idaho hound permit to good use? I bet those leopards would like to trail a cat or lion. We got fresh snow here for the weekend...
