Idaho's wolf season runs almost the whole year here, and SWO hunt them on calling, over bait, and by glassing. Three-day minimum. They are explicit about what they will and will not promise: "Unlike guaranteed trophy hunts, we believe in the intrinsic value of earned success." They control the food, the guides, the stock and the camps, and they do not claim to control the weather or the animals.
