Idaho Fly-In Wolf Hunt, Selway Wilderness

Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho Unit 17

A dedicated winter wolf hunt out of the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness in Unit 17. They are honest that wolves are the most variable animal they guide for, and frame the hunt as population management as much as trophy hunting. Tags are over the counter.

About the trip
