Wolves are common in Ontario. They are so common that officials from some of the larger national parks in the USA have been coming to Ontario for years to trap Wolves and release them down south. All the wolves in Yellowstone and Yosemite National Park are direct descendants of Wolves captured in Ontario.
A wolf will eat anything alive. Their favourite prey animals during the winter are deer, sick moose and small game. Our bear hunting guests will see wolves at the baited stands. Our deer hunters often see them in the bush. Bear and deer hunters only need to purchase an additional small game license and a wolf/coyote game seal to harvest a wolf.
You do not need to hunt for other game to specifically hunt for Wolf. In the winter the Wolves group back together in their hunting packs and tend to stake out game trails that end at the water. Wolves like to chance their prey out onto he frozen lakes where it's easier to take their prey down. Staking out well-used game trails in the winter is a great way to hunt these elusive predators. Finding a wolf-kill that is not completely eaten means the Wolves are close by and will return to their kill.
Our Timber Wolves can vary in colour from traditional grey/sliver to partial black and full black. Packs vary in size from loners to up to 8 wolves. With the milder winters and sky rocketing population of whitetail deer and little pressure, they have done very well here. Very elusive and seldom seen in the summer, the winters leave evidence of their feasts on the snow and ice. With wolves being so intelligent, it requires excellent hunter skills. Scent elimination, patience and using predator calls (rabbit squeal/fawn bleats) are definite assets.
We have a package for Wolf Hunting.
