Pursue the Elusive Wolf: Guided Hunting Expeditions with Outdoors International

Embark on a challenging and unique wilderness adventure in pursuit of the Gray Wolf, one of North America's most intelligent and elusive predators. Outdoors International is your expert consulting service, dedicated to connecting experienced hunters with premier, vetted outfitters and guides specializing in legal, regulated, and ethically conducted wolf hunts in specific regions where populations are managed through hunting and/or trapping seasons. Understanding the complex regulations and finding reputable operators is key, and we help you navigate these specialized hunts at no extra cost compared to booking direct.

Wolf hunting is often considered one of the most challenging pursuits due to the animal's keen senses, vast territories, and often nocturnal habits. Success requires patience, skill, and expert local knowledge. Our partnered outfitters operate under strict government quotas and regulations, often contributing to wildlife management objectives. It is crucial to note that wolf hunting is prohibited under the Endangered Species Act throughout most of the contiguous United States.

  • Primary Legal Wolf Hunting Destinations (for US Citizens): We connect hunters with specialized outfitters in regions where wolf hunting is legally sanctioned and managed:

    • Alaska, USA: Offers state-managed hunting and trapping seasons for wolves across various regions, often conducted in remote wilderness settings.
    • Canada (Provinces/Territories like British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Yukon, NWT): Many Canadian jurisdictions have regulated wolf hunting and trapping seasons, offering diverse opportunities from deep woods hunts to Arctic tundra expeditions. Hunts may involve baiting, calling, or spot-and-stalk methods, depending on the region and outfitter.
  • Potential International Opportunities: Regulated wolf hunting exists in parts of Europe (e.g., Spain, Eastern Europe) and Asia (e.g., Russia, Kazakhstan). Outdoors International can explore these highly specialized, legally compliant options with vetted international partners upon specific inquiry.

  • The Wolf Hunting Experience:

    • A True Wilderness Challenge: Pursuing wolves often involves enduring harsh weather conditions (especially winter hunts), extensive tracking or patient waiting, and operating in remote areas.
    • Diverse Hunting Methods: Depending on location and regulations, methods may include spot and stalk, calling (predator calls), hunting over bait sites (common in winter/bear seasons), or trapping (where legal and offered by licensed trapper guides).
    • Combination Hunts: Wolves are often taken opportunistically or as an add-on species during hunts for other big game like moose, caribou, deer, or bear in Alaska and Canada.
    • Trophy & Conservation: A wolf pelt makes a unique trophy. Regulated hunting, where scientifically justified and legally implemented, can be a component of wolf management plans aimed at balancing predator-prey populations and mitigating human-wildlife conflict.
  • Legality, Ethics, and Regulations are Paramount: Outdoors International strictly adheres to all wildlife laws. We ONLY work with licensed outfitters operating within legal frameworks established by relevant government wildlife agencies (e.g., Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game, Canadian provincial/territorial authorities, CITES regulations for international transport). We prioritize ethical hunting practices and respect for the wildlife resource.

My hunt was absolutely top notch.

The outfitter is a fantastic man and incredibly hard working and knowledgeable, there is no doubt he will do everything within his power to make peoples hunts successful and enjoyable. I plan to do it again with him next year for sure.

Wade Zuver

Our hunt was excellent.

We saw bucks every day along with all other sorts of wildlife. Mountain goats, bears, and foxes were common sights. Fishing and crabbing was special bonus. The food was excellent, the crew was amazing. Outdoors International did a great job of finding exactly what we were looking for.

Jesse Neveau

What an amazing experience!

The hunting lodge was out of this world!, Rooms, food and the scenery were all A+. Our guide was exceptional and had us on Shiras moose all five days. We saw over 30 total with at least 10 bulls. They had a plan for everything including taxidermy and game processing.
