Its been shown in Alaska and Canada that wolves respond quite well to rabbit distress calls just like coyotes.  Some Idaho  hunters I know were even suprised to find that a cow elk call is music to a wolf's ears, when an entire pack ended up in their lap last year. Also, being extremely vocal and territorial, wolves will often respond to howling by humans. If you have had any luck calling wolves please share.

I my self will try a cow elk. 
It will be a first for me so we will see how it goes.  I my self am a distance shooter so I have never actually  used a call before other than pre-scouting

I am hearing that over on predatormaster the guy who shot the 1st wolf in Idaho says he used a wounded coyote sound. Like maybe a coyote pup distress? I am going to try something once or twice. I have called in 2 bears so far by finding a fence line and shaking the heck out of it as if a deer were caught in the fence. Then I make a deer beller or distress by mouth and shake the fence again. I have had 2 bear come running so far doing that. Don't know if it will work for wolves but it is worth a shot. Sooner or later we all will have to think outside the box when it comes to calling wolves so I figure I may as well start early. I really think the wolves will wisen up after a few missed opportunities by hunters

I was really close to getting a shot off at a wolf this archery season in Idaho unit 10.  I was hunting over some wallows when I could hear barking off in the distance.. I howled several times and the sucker came running.  I had a shot close to 50 yards but I didn't have a good shot.  We moved because of a  wind change.  This seemed to irritate the wolf more.  After a long barking session back and forth, the wind changed again and I was had... What a thriller. Never have I been so juiced up over hunting. Howling definetly works. Even a couple barks seemed to help.
A buddy of mine was able to call in two wolves with a hoochie momma durring rifle season. That's another option.

Wolf howlers have become popular lately. I make a cow horn wolf howler now.

i'm going to try a distress call of a coyote or something like that, havent thought it out completely but i was thinking a tail and putting it on a spring loaded stand with a string attached to move it. between the calls and the tail that might be enough to get them running in. thoughts anyone?
