Book: Wolf Huntin’ Yellowstone

Yellowstone’s wolves are getting smart these days. With trapping and hunting pressure mounting on the edge of the Park, these adaptable animals are staying well within the preserve, forcing hunters to push the boundaries—of the sport, that is. In his latest book, Wolf Huntin’ Yellowstone: A Complete Guide to Exterminating the Park’s Predators (Collared Lion Press, $19), hunting guide Gene Fortay shares his intimate knowledge of the area’s wolf packs—and the best ways to kill them. Complete with windage and elevation tables, calibrated to the best pullouts in the Lamar Valley, this book helps everyone get in on the fun. All you’ll need is a long-range rifle—or not, because Fortay includes an entire section on baiting and trapping tactics. So grab some chicken livers, a pile of ammo, a coil-spring trap or two, and a set of heavy-duty shears, then make for Yellowstone. Wolf-hunting paradise awaits!
