Love your work Steve, thanks for sharing. The big game app is excellent. I put it on my sons phone before his Elk hunt in western Oregon. Since he always hunted with me he never gutted and skinned a Roosevelt buck himself. Thanks to your app he was able to.
Thas 1 o' them hides as is a wonder to harvest, Boss. Some can only dream of how much fun it must be to actually live the free life-dependent on your skills and knowledge in the woods. Good Work, Boss. We're in line here...
Your becoming the modern UA-cam version of Burl Ives he became famous for his by the fireplace story telling on radio and records. Except many of yours are first hand experiences. Keep it up I really enjoy listening to those stories than the crap on TV.
Cool Story. Growing up in the Country we could hear them out by the Cotton Feilds that Surrounded our lil town. The Guys down the Rode they had a Ranch and would hang 'em on the Barbwire Fence. They were Big like that one on your Shoulder. Incredible.
“We don’t do the right thing all the time in your life you have to screw up and learn that way! Before you do the right thing all the time.” Soooooo true!!
Jet lag is worse the older we get. Kind of like a hangover that way. :). I haven't hunted in years, not for any philosophical objections, just...reasons. I truly enjoy these stories, as well as the Bigfoot stories. A friend of mine, unbeknownst to me until I mentioned you, is a fan of your page too. He has high praise and he is someone that doesn't give it idly.
Not a fan of the wolf hunting thing and was a big supporter for re-introduction of the wolf to western states of the USA. But now I also get that with my support of the wolf that they too have to be managed just like all the wildlife we have brought back from the destruction of the 1800-early 1900's. Good video and great story and correct lessons of the reality of wildlife management.
Great story. Thank you. I know the frustration of having a comrade yelling "Did ya get him" when other targets are available. Mine come mostly on the walkie talkie at the wrong moment.
Dude your so right! I bought a stealth cam and its garbage , the cheap moultrie have worked the best for me 1 dud out of 7 , thanks for the wolf hunting knowledge.
Two days ago, the fur buyer was in town. I met him at a taxidermy shop to sell my furs. The taxidermist had an Alaskan wolf rug he had done.....WOW! My biggest bear is 6 foot.....that wolf is bigger! I have not seen any wolf from Idaho that big.
What an amazing story.. I live in the UK and I love to hunt what we have avaliable. I cant imagine the rush you had being out in between a pack of wolves.. you sir are a genuine badass someone get this guy a Cape
Steve, Love the channel and every topic you cover. I grew up with twin bro and friends only shooting BB guns & 22's shooting small game. Then nothing but Mt-bike riding which created a conflict in my mind on whether would follow through with my plan to hunt big game later in life, as I didn't know if I wanted to kill deer as I had grown attached to them while watched them during rides. But thanks to you and much research I will start hunting wolves and coyotes with no regrets, as the killing these machines need to be brought back in control. So thanks for all that you do, and please understand, we know you speak the truth with every story. If anyone claims they don't believe you, they have issues. Stay safe.
Thank you thank you thank you for finally telling a hunting story!! I miss them! It’s what got me hooked on this page to begin with! Great story Steve!
You’re one of my hero’s, weird most of them are Canadian, go figure! My wife heard and asked “can you hunt wolves? Most people have no idea what a wolf is, size, food, temperament, or population. Like squatch stories LOVE the hunting stories!
Ditto from other comments...love the Squatch stories friend. We have many here in Salem Virginia area. A lot of wilderness next to cities here. Take care and thank you for all you do!
Love the wolf stories! I have a few of my own from guiding and trapping. Had a pack of wolves come in on us a few times calling elk and moose. You’re bang on about the voice calling barrier.
as a hunter, I think all hunters should go out and hunt a predator at least once. just for the learning experience. hearing about how they are and actually seeing how smart they truly are is completely different. i’ve never had the chance to hunt bears or wolves, but i’ve taken out tons of coyotes. and even coyotes are smart as hell, and if you’re hunting them in a wide open area, you might see them coming in, but in a heavily wooded area? no way. and you better watch your down wind side. they’ll sneak right in on ya. lol.
hateful Joey nearly time for the foxes in 🏴 in the next couple weeks .pheasant duck an partridge finish on Friday.Dad has even worn my coyote hat waiting for the sneaky red bastards 😂
Had to take out a mountain lion that was on my buddies property and that was an experience to say the least. Multiple times to bait it out that thing was incredibly intelligent and knew when it just seemed too good to be true. Took about 2 days to get it. I agree that hunters should take on a predator just to get the other side of the tracks feeling. True fear laying in wait for that thing to show.
@@negan2714 Why did you have to kill it? Don't be mad at me, I really want to learn. I'm having a hard time just having found this channel. I just don't understand the need to kill things when they haven't done anything wrong but be beautiful and wild. Maybe we shouldn't be in their space. Why can't all of you leave them be? I'm not trying to piss you off, I want to understand. Thank you for talking to me!
@@violet9853 No wont get mad you approached in a respectful way so respect will be given. My buddy has young kids, dogs and livestock the lion killed a few of his cattle and his kids played outside so ge wasn't waiting for anything to happen to them. He sells the cattle and his wife breeds and sells horses for their income. The lion hurt their income and is a huge threat to him and his family so it had to be dealt with. Now why I hunt is I like eating meat and some meats taste differently than others and you cant buy them in a store so the only way to get them is to go hunting. I'm not in it for the trophies or mounting animals I use the meat the animal supplies and I don't waste any of the meat it supplies. I believe in how the Indians did it. Only kill what you need and don't waste. Admire the animal and thank it for supplying for your needs. Some animals you can only admire when they are dead and that lion was a sight. They are very beautiful but also very dangerous and in that lions case the danger out weighed the beauty. Sorry for the essay lol couldn't give a short answer it wouldn't explain.
@@negan2714 Dear Darth I am crying at what a beautiful response you gave! Thank you with all my heart. I totally agree with everything you just said, every word. Now I understand that we are exactly the same in mind, I just didn’t know it! I want to think and learn about everything you discussed. It is frightening to think about kids or animals in the same vicinity of a lion, now that you mention it, haha. I admire your lifestyle and your philosophy of life. All my best to you and your family. You have an awesome thing going on. I am blessed to hear this.
Steve I have zero interest in hunting I am interested in hearing stories of hunts since I found your channel. Odd I know. You have great story telling knack
Remington 870 Wingmaster -- I've owned one for 45 years. My dad was a gunsmith, and in his opinion, it was/is one of the best economical shotguns ever made.
Thanks. Great story . I saw a wolf years ago in the Mt Adams Area, everyone said it was a coyote. At 2 hundred yards thru my 9 power scope , looked like a German Shepherd ,so I disagree. That was about 1968. Hunting with my cousin Jerry a year or so earlier he asked me if I could hit anything with my dad's old 30-30 I was packing on this deer hunt I swear 1 minute later a grouse jumped up on my left , I cocked the rifle and shot it's head off at about 12 foot from the hip. Got the bragging rights that day and Jerry hasn't forgotten it . LOL . Keep the stories coming. John W Gates !
Very brave talking about wolves. The people that blindly defend them aren't usually very kind when you talking about these things. Not saying they shouldn't be protected but at the end of the day they are dangerous predator animals and can become a threat so the need for population control is needed. Good story Steve stay safe brother.
We are all not blind when defending them. Hunting wolves is cruel beyond belief. I'm crying reading all you hunter's comments. Sorry, I love wolves too much to come around to the thinking it is ok to kill them. Why am I even on this channel? Because I am willing to learn where you are coming from, and try not to hate all of you for killing beautiful wild things. When my son started hunting deer when he was about 12 I cried constantly and fretted around the house the entire time, then cried every time I thought about the dead deer. I love deer, too, like all wild animals. My son made me try deer meat and it was amazing, but I still couldn't get over the killing. I am in the minority I see. I am still going to try to learn from all of you. Please tell me, why do you think it is alright to kill wolves indiscriminately?
@@violet9853 The case for wolves is population control or if they are in an area that threatens others. Wolves are beautiful animals but they are predators that are dangerous. If you didn't cull the wolf population then the elk, deer, rabbit and everything else in area would have low population numbers. Its to keep balance to nature in the area. Otherwise it'll be like Siberia. The same thing goes into deer/elk hunting it culls the herd so plant life and vegetation doesn't get wiped out. Also you aren't the type I was talking about when I said blindly defending. You didn't wish death on me and a whole mess of other things. You're respectful and wanting to start a conversation.
@@violet9853, first they are not killed indescriminately. After, field studies, data collection, and biodiversity goals are met, biologist make decisions as to when and where hunting is needed. Many management techniques are employed before hunting is considered. In most cases hunting requires game management to set license, tags, and area limits. Violet, you do realize wolves kill and eat deer, elk, moose, goats, sheep, caribou, antelope, livestock, pets, and you if they were hungry and you're all that's available at that time. 🐺 wolves must be managed, being hunted and dispatched humanely is better than many other methods.
@@judithbeers7598 oh my, of course I didn't know, but I am truly thankful to find out! I knew there was something wrong with my thinking, only from an emotional point of view, not knowledge. I am finally getting the info I need to change my mind, and possibly change my life some day! 🤔 I truly appreciate you taking your time to explain. I know I made a fool of myself, but better than not knowing.
@@violet9853 modern man has supercharged a super predator and it is mans duty to correct the balance. Paved, plowed and packed trails are not going away, so the wolves have to be managed.
Another awesome video Steve, I don’t hunt but I’m buying the app anyway to support you. Keep those videos coming. I always learn something about world out there when I watch your videos.
DAAAMN NICE SHOT STEVE!!! I had an Rem 870 wingmaster also it was nice light gun!...btw Tyvm for you taking up the Sasquatch fight for those who need it brother!! Best of luck!!
I have trust in you and hope we get to the bottom of all the madness very few are talking about ,I have faith for this journey ur bringing me on with these entities we are unsure of ... Thankyou sir
I was on the Montana side of the little Joe road and saw the largest wolf I had ever seen. It was all black and I thought it was a bear at first. I have seen a lot of wolves, but that one actually scared me. It could have picked up my 140lb German shepherd and carried it off. Another great hunting story Steve, keep them coming.
You may want to look into the topic of dogman. I've heard a few other first hand stories of outlandishly big wolves and now that I've looked into the dogman, it makes me wonder if what people are often seeing is often not just a really big wolf.
Not trying to pick a right but they were there first. In the early 1900s they were hunted to extinction in the US. Since being reintroduced into Yellowstone they are thriving again. I agree the wolves don't need all of the protection but they do need some.
@@jacobheisesr9160 I don't think anyone should kill wolves, or other wild things, for that matter. I am having a hard time trying to understand all these hunters...especially when they are just being, and doing nothing to no one.
@@violet9853 hunting is important to our culture and it is only since the invention of the modern market that hunting has been looked down upon. every culture in history has survived off of what the land gave us and only in the last hundred years or so has society gotten away from that and lookat where we are now.
@@violet9853, they are not just doing nothing to anyone. Do you know they often butcher prey while prey is still alive. They kill and only the fetuses in some cases. Obviously, you have no real factual knowledge of who 🐺 wolves really are. They are not warm and fuzzyies. They are deadly ruthless killers.
@@jacobheisesr9160 great point. Thank you! I needed to hear opinions from people who know! I'm embarrassed I said that. I hope you guys will forgive me. 😮
I cure jet lag by staying awake for 24 hours and going to bed at my real normal time and setting a alarm to get up at my usual time and kinda force my regular schedule on myself ! Great wolf story !
Wolves ain't stupid.......I've had a few run ins with em over the years....usually they will keep their distance......had to chase a couple off of us once with a camp axe...another time while goose hunting at a remote tent camp ,four of us with heavy #2 mag loads just went nuts on a good sized pack, probably a dozen to fourteen of them that got waaaay too close and would not back off...we killed five of em.....punched some holes in em and threw em in the lake....feed the crawdads, feed the trout....anyways.. we had a great two more days of absolutely undisturbed goose and duck shooting, full limits all around...ran into a Conservation Officer heading out , he checked our weapons, ammo , tags , carcasses etc..we told him what happened with the wolf pack...he just shrugged and said ' thats fine!...if you can...kill more next time fellas'
Check some vids here on how to turn pellet loads quickly into slug results. Has something to do with lightly cutting part way through the plastic hull just above the brass. The brass stays but the rest goes down range. For your encounter too late now but anyone with a bit of time to consider options may be safer if all they have are pellet loads. Good job keeping calm under pressure too! Wolves are way bigger than people realize until close.
chris horwath: they’re called “cut shells” chief, been around since before slugs existed to get better ballistic results. And yeah some gray/timber wolves can grow to HUGE sizes....there’s pics of hunters holding up dead wolves and the wolf is taller than they are, feet to head, and their heads can be absolutely massive, much bigger than a dog’s head
@@taylorrhodes1895 Re shells I advised but didn't get into pointless trivia. Thanx for the name to help folks look it up here. YT has ways to do it and even show test results with modern plastic hulls and ammo products. Re wolves I know. They can get 32-34" at the shoulder and largest North American one was 235lbs.
Good to know about stealth cams. I have the same issue with cuddeback. My first in lasted years. Old 35mm style. All the new ones last maybe a year. Then they don’t want to fix it. They want 100.00 and you can pick a new one. Same deal over and over. Frustrating to say the least.
Another great hunting story. Now is the time that I hate. Having to wait on you to post the next one. But as always the wait and anticipation is worth it. Stay safe out there more than ever now. And trust your instincts.
Love hunting canines. No wolves here, but called a coyote almost in my lap one morning, fixated on movement crosswind. 6th sense kicked in about the same time I heard and felt gravel hit my side (sitting down, back against a tree, rifle on sticks). He came from upwind and almost ran into me. Turned himself inside out teying to get away and I stoooex him with a "woof" at about 20 paces. Was friggin awesome. Can't imagine calling one 4 of 5 times the mass of a 'yote. Peace Brother! Keep up the good work and thanks for the access to your life. Guiding is truly an all encompassing lifestyle. It's all or nothing.
Hi Steve, I'm in Michigan & here we have coyotes that have a bit of grey wolf blood line mixed into them. Makes for some rather large yotes, cousin shot one that weighed 51 lbs., but best I've done is 44lbs. I'd love to hear from you on what the best trail camera you've found is, that is valuable info. Thanks for your time, stories & sharing of knowledge. : )
Steve, Pls forward you're recommendation of trail cameras. as i'm looking to buy a few and know that buying good equipment is expensive but the wrong equipment 4X expensive. For those who do pack a shotgun for bear defense, I highly recommend the Brenneke Black Magic. As president of our local range association I did a lot of range clean up and once found a spent slug near the 75 yard line, that I could of reloaded again. Bob
I was hoping that you would let us know which camera you prefer to use obviously stealth cam is not one of them 😀 I have been using Bushnell but was curious as to what you prefer.
I've had really good luck with Foxelli. I have 4 , no issues. I had 1 good Stealthcam , the second wouldn't work unless you were 2 feet in front of it at night. My climate is a bit warmer.
Dang Steve! That is a Werewolf! In N.C.,if I had to choose , a 28" bbl. 870 could get it all done. But...glad I don't have to!! God Bless you my friend!!
Your a left hand shooter like me. I only have 3 bolt action rifles and my other 4 are Remington 7600 pump actions. I have two 7600's in 308 but I'm having one chambered in 6.5 Creedmore.
Remington 870 Express. Here in the states a bear bow is a manufacture of Fred Bear.... a bare bow ... a bow without sights or pulleys is called a recurve bow.
That's an old wingmaster! My dad had one like it, his dad bought it for him. It got stolen years back. I've been looking for one like it since. There a dime a dozen, but the one's with the lines on the fore grip are hard to find. Most are checkered.
I work for a utility company in Wisconsin and the linemen have stories of having to check or fix backwoods lines in the winter where they're 100-200 yards from the truck where wolves will escort them back to the truck or just sit at the bottom of the poles where they can just see their eyes reflecting in the flashlights.
That’s crazy, I have 5 stealth cams and use them regularly for spring Bear starting early March and they stay out until November for late deer, I just move them around as needed for what species I’m targeting. Only time one gave me any issue was when I forgot to format the SD card after I checked it.
Dear Steve, I really enjoy listening to your stories. Your channel turned up on my UA-cam home page because I like to watch grizzly bear videos. I watch grizzly videos because they scare the crap out of me. You are an amazing storyteller. I even enjoy your grizzly hunt stories. I’m a 71 year old woman and outdoors is my heaven, much as you have expressed in your videos. You always speak of the beauty of nature and I appreciate that. But I’m afraid I must give up my enjoyment of your storytelling. You can eat a bear, you can eat a sheep, you can eat a moose, you can eat a deer. BUT you would never eat a wolf. I feel you do have a heart but I’m very disappointed in you Steve. Goodbye, cjk
I bet the animal lovers, loved you for that story ( the wolf story). You know what I mean Steve?! A lot of people can’t understand that predator management thing, their just seeing a animal, you know? I hunted coyotes years ago, because they are thick as thieves around here, or at least out in the country side of Central Ky., and there was or used to be a shoot on site order ( or something similar), for coyotes. Me and a buddy of mine shot several way back in the day, I used 12 gauge slugs, course we were out deer hunting, that’s the reason for the slugs, but we sat for hours sometimes and never saw a deer so we would go coyote hunting. You can imagine what a 12 gauge slug would do to a coyote, no need to say more! lol! Anyways, good stuff Steve, as always!
I had a trail cam set in the perfect spot. What appeared to be a good buck according to the tracks in the snow, walked right by my cam, & it failed to work. Very frustrating!

I am still going to try to learn from all of you. Please tell me, why do you think it is alright to kill wolves indiscriminately?
@@violet9853 The case for wolves is population control or if they are in an area that threatens others. Wolves are beautiful animals but they are predators that are dangerous. If you didn't cull the wolf population then the elk, deer, rabbit and everything else in area would have low population numbers. Its to keep balance to nature in the area. Otherwise it'll be like Siberia. The same thing goes into deer/elk hunting it culls the herd so plant life and vegetation doesn't get wiped out. Also you aren't the type I was talking about when I said blindly defending. You didn't wish death on me and a whole mess of other things. You're respectful and wanting to start a conversation.
@@violet9853, first they are not killed indescriminately. After, field studies, data collection, and biodiversity goals are met, biologist make decisions as to when and where hunting is needed. Many management techniques are employed before hunting is considered. In most cases hunting requires game management to set license, tags, and area limits. Violet, you do realize wolves kill and eat deer, elk, moose, goats, sheep, caribou, antelope, livestock, pets, and you if they were hungry and you're all that's available at that time. 🐺 wolves must be managed, being hunted and dispatched humanely is better than many other methods.
@@judithbeers7598 oh my, of course I didn't know, but I am truly thankful to find out! I knew there was something wrong with my thinking, only from an emotional point of view, not knowledge. I am finally getting the info I need to change my mind, and possibly change my life some day! 🤔 I truly appreciate you taking your time to explain. I know I made a fool of myself, but better than not knowing.
@@violet9853 modern man has supercharged a super predator and it is mans duty to correct the balance. Paved, plowed and packed trails are not going away, so the wolves have to be managed.
Thx Steve ❤️✌️
Another awesome video Steve, I don’t hunt but I’m buying the app anyway to support you. Keep those videos coming. I always learn something about world out there when I watch your videos.
DAAAMN NICE SHOT STEVE!!! I had an Rem 870 wingmaster also it was nice light gun!...btw Tyvm for you taking up the Sasquatch fight for those who need it brother!! Best of luck!!
Hell yeah Steve can't wait for new app thanks for all your doing. Cheers from Rocky mountains Alberta
I have trust in you and hope we get to the bottom of all the madness very few are talking about ,I have faith for this journey ur bringing me on with these entities we are unsure of ... Thankyou sir
I was on the Montana side of the little Joe road and saw the largest wolf I had ever seen. It was all black and I thought it was a bear at first. I have seen a lot of wolves, but that one actually scared me. It could have picked up my 140lb German shepherd and carried it off. Another great hunting story Steve, keep them coming.
You may want to look into the topic of dogman. I've heard a few other first hand stories of outlandishly big wolves and now that I've looked into the dogman, it makes me wonder if what people are often seeing is often not just a really big wolf.
@@jz8184 No dogman, just an incredibly big wolf.
Just goes to show how strong a wolf is. And people think they need to protect them to the degree we do, now they are destroying the habitat.
Not trying to pick a right but they were there first. In the early 1900s they were hunted to extinction in the US. Since being reintroduced into Yellowstone they are thriving again. I agree the wolves don't need all of the protection but they do need some.
@@jacobheisesr9160 I don't think anyone should kill wolves, or other wild things, for that matter. I am having a hard time trying to understand all these hunters...especially when they are just being, and doing nothing to no one.
@@violet9853 hunting is important to our culture and it is only since the invention of the modern market that hunting has been looked down upon. every culture in history has survived off of what the land gave us and only in the last hundred years or so has society gotten away from that and lookat where we are now.
@@violet9853, they are not just doing nothing to anyone. Do you know they often butcher prey while prey is still alive. They kill and only the fetuses in some cases. Obviously, you have no real factual knowledge of who 🐺 wolves really are. They are not warm and fuzzyies. They are deadly ruthless killers.
@@jacobheisesr9160 great point. Thank you! I needed to hear opinions from people who know! I'm embarrassed I said that. I hope you guys will forgive me. 😮
Wow, love the education your blessing me with.
I cure jet lag by staying awake for 24 hours and going to bed at my real normal time and setting a alarm to get up at my usual time and kinda force my regular schedule on myself ! Great wolf story !
Wolves ain't stupid.......I've had a few run ins with em over the years....usually they will keep their distance......had to chase a couple off of us once with a camp axe...another time while goose hunting at a remote tent camp ,four of us with heavy #2 mag loads just went nuts on a good sized pack, probably a dozen to fourteen of them that got waaaay too close and would not back off...we killed five of em.....punched some holes in em and threw em in the lake....feed the crawdads, feed the trout....anyways.. we had a great two more days of absolutely undisturbed goose and duck shooting, full limits all around...ran into a Conservation Officer heading out , he checked our weapons, ammo , tags , carcasses etc..we told him what happened with the wolf pack...he just shrugged and said ' thats fine!...if you can...kill more next time fellas'
Check some vids here on how to turn pellet loads quickly into slug results. Has something to do with lightly cutting part way through the plastic hull just above the brass. The brass stays but the rest goes down range. For your encounter too late now but anyone with a bit of time to consider options may be safer if all they have are pellet loads. Good job keeping calm under pressure too! Wolves are way bigger than people realize until close.
chris horwath: they’re called “cut shells” chief, been around since before slugs existed to get better ballistic results. And yeah some gray/timber wolves can grow to HUGE sizes....there’s pics of hunters holding up dead wolves and the wolf is taller than they are, feet to head, and their heads can be absolutely massive, much bigger than a dog’s head
@@taylorrhodes1895 Re shells I advised but didn't get into pointless trivia. Thanx for the name to help folks look it up here. YT has ways to do it and even show test results with modern plastic hulls and ammo products. Re wolves I know. They can get 32-34" at the shoulder and largest North American one was 235lbs.
The knowledge that is being passed. Is greatly appreciated thanks Steve
I like that "get out there and make a difference". Make that your site phrase.
That's the kind of hunt I'd love to watch! Great story.
Great story and great wolf knowledge Steve 😊
Damn, I bet a Wolf COULD blow a straw house down!!
😎
MacKenzie Valley wolves are reputedly the biggest, they look skinny at 180 lbs. Also where the story of the Waheela comes from. Dire Wolves.
@@worldbigfootcentral3933, Frazier River Valley has big ones too!
Sweet!! Keep it up your an inspiration to alot of people!! Thank you Steve
Good to know about stealth cams. I have the same issue with cuddeback. My first in lasted years. Old 35mm style. All the new ones last maybe a year. Then they don’t want to fix it. They want 100.00 and you can pick a new one. Same deal over and over. Frustrating to say the least.
Enjoy your videos !! Like reading the comments from people like me !!!
Another great hunting story. Now is the time that I hate. Having to wait on you to post the next one. But as always the wait and anticipation is worth it. Stay safe out there more than ever now. And trust your instincts.
Love the hunt stories. Would love to see you upload those more.
Came for the squatch stories never never left sice.
Same here bro! I'm addicted to this dudes stories
I saw 2 wolves chasing a deer when I was a kid about 30+ years ago. They are so much bigger than coyotes it's ridiculous.
Love what you do.
One question , What game cam do you recommend?
Cuddyback
I love all your stories. Thank you again Steve. Almost feel like I know you. Anyway great video:)
Hey Steve, please post a list of trailcams that you dislike or have had problems with when you get a chance sometime. Thanks.
Great story Steve! Look forward to more coyote and wollf hunting info.
Love hunting canines. No wolves here, but called a coyote almost in my lap one morning, fixated on movement crosswind. 6th sense kicked in about the same time I heard and felt gravel hit my side (sitting down, back against a tree, rifle on sticks). He came from upwind and almost ran into me. Turned himself inside out teying to get away and I stoooex him with a "woof" at about 20 paces. Was friggin awesome. Can't imagine calling one 4 of 5 times the mass of a 'yote.
Peace Brother!
Keep up the good work and thanks for the access to your life. Guiding is truly an all encompassing lifestyle. It's all or nothing.
Hi Steve,
I'm in Michigan & here we have coyotes that have a bit of grey wolf blood line mixed into them. Makes for some rather large yotes, cousin shot one that weighed 51 lbs., but best I've done is 44lbs.
I'd love to hear from you on what the best trail camera you've found is, that is valuable info.
Thanks for your time, stories & sharing of knowledge. : )
Steve, Pls forward you're recommendation of trail cameras. as i'm looking to buy a few and know that buying good equipment is expensive but the wrong equipment 4X expensive. For those who do pack a shotgun for bear defense, I highly recommend the Brenneke Black Magic. As president of our local range association I did a lot of range clean up and once found a spent slug near the 75 yard line, that I could of reloaded again. Bob
I was hoping that you would let us know which camera you prefer to use obviously stealth cam is not one of them 😀 I have been using Bushnell but was curious as to what you prefer.
I've had really good luck with Foxelli. I have 4 , no issues. I had 1 good Stealthcam , the second wouldn't work unless you were 2 feet in front of it at night. My climate is a bit warmer.
Great story. Wolves would be pretty intense to hunt. Thanks for all the stories!
Hi Steve. Cool story. Big wolf!
Dang Steve! That is a Werewolf! In N.C.,if I had to choose , a 28" bbl. 870 could get it all done. But...glad I don't have to!! God Bless you my friend!!
Loved the story buddy! Wolves are tough SOB's! :)
Bare bow is there any other way to bow hunt
Rick aka purple Hobbit shame they don’t make many compound bows that accommodate fingers shooters anymore
Your a left hand shooter like me. I only have 3 bolt action rifles and my other 4 are Remington 7600 pump actions. I have two 7600's in 308 but I'm having one chambered in 6.5 Creedmore.
Had same problems with stealth cams, sick of them. Whats the best cam in your opinion?
Remington 870 Express. Here in the states a bear bow is a manufacture of Fred Bear.... a bare bow ... a bow without sights or pulleys is called a recurve bow.
That's an old wingmaster! My dad had one like it, his dad bought it for him. It got stolen years back. I've been looking for one like it since. There a dime a dozen, but the one's with the lines on the fore grip are hard to find. Most are checkered.
I work for a utility company in Wisconsin and the linemen have stories of having to check or fix backwoods lines in the winter where they're 100-200 yards from the truck where wolves will escort them back to the truck or just sit at the bottom of the poles where they can just see their eyes reflecting in the flashlights.
Way better story about wilderness and your skills then reading someones bigfoot tale. Thanks, this is why I cam here in the first place.
you mentioned quite a few videos back you were going to talk about the game cameras you do like and use. Will that be happening soon?
poor wolves, i know things need to be done, but im just a massive canine lover. But i love your stories almost as much. Entertaining for sure!
Ad he still was alive! That's so how strong the wolf is.
Damn that is a big boy you got Steve, really amazing
Good story, thank for another informational video Steve
Great story that was a monster wolf 👍
ALMOST 100,000 SUBS STEVE.... NICE BRO.... AWESOME CHANNEL
Steve ,at about 5:15 do you have a for sale sign on your horse?
Its a keep out no trespassing sign
Channel is growing. You'll be at 100k soon.
Is that Mr. Macaroni back there? Another good video Steve.
That’s crazy, I have 5 stealth cams and use them regularly for spring Bear starting early March and they stay out until November for late deer, I just move them around as needed for what species I’m targeting. Only time one gave me any issue was when I forgot to format the SD card after I checked it.
Dear Steve,
I really enjoy listening to your stories. Your channel turned up on my UA-cam home page because I like to watch grizzly bear videos. I watch grizzly videos because they scare the crap out of me. You are an amazing storyteller. I even enjoy your grizzly hunt stories. I’m a 71 year old woman and outdoors is my heaven, much as you have expressed in your videos. You always speak of the beauty of nature and I appreciate that. But I’m afraid I must give up my enjoyment of your storytelling. You can eat a bear, you can eat a sheep, you can eat a moose, you can eat a deer. BUT you would never eat a wolf. I feel you do have a heart but I’m very disappointed in you Steve.
Goodbye, cjk
If you’re so disappointed in him watch someone else
@@jeffsmith7215 yeah Jeff I think I said that
I bet the animal lovers, loved you for that story ( the wolf story). You know what I mean Steve?! A lot of people can’t understand that predator management thing, their just seeing a animal, you know? I hunted coyotes years ago, because they are thick as thieves around here, or at least out in the country side of Central Ky., and there was or used to be a shoot on site order ( or something similar), for coyotes. Me and a buddy of mine shot several way back in the day, I used 12 gauge slugs, course we were out deer hunting, that’s the reason for the slugs, but we sat for hours sometimes and never saw a deer so we would go coyote hunting. You can imagine what a 12 gauge slug would do to a coyote, no need to say more! lol! Anyways, good stuff Steve, as always!
How do I contact you about a guided hunting trip
I think there's an email link on his how to hunt website.
pretty sure if you go to www.howtohunt.com you can't miss it.... His full name is Steve Isdahl.... I will expect a story if you go!
I had a trail cam set in the perfect spot. What appeared to be a good buck according to the tracks in the snow, walked right by my cam, & it failed to work. Very frustrating!
Great story Steve. What hunting apps do you have that would benefit mid-west or eastern hunters? Whitetail, Eastern Turkeys, and coyotes mainly.
