Wolves are always hungry

An apex predator, wolves are a valuable component of a healthy ecosystem. Baiting remains most the effective hunting strategy.

Sounds like a good idea, might have to give it a try.

“My late friend Gary Gehrman often used his spring and autumn bear bait stations to bait wolves in late fall and winter. He would put meat chunks, scraps, and bones in secured barrels with heavy-gauge wire mesh on the open end.

Most wolf hunters secure the bait. Barrels, as mentioned, can work. On icy water, cut a number of wedges large enough to freeze chunks of carcass, hides, and large bones. Puncture through to water; pack and freeze the bait in with slush.”

Animal hides are good bait too.
