EVENTS – Annual Wolfer Summit

Our 4th Annual F4WM Wolfer Summit is your chance to learn how to hunt and trap wolves successfully, from the very best in the business! Those who get the job done year in, and year out.

This amount of knowledge about wolves and targeting them only gathers at one location, once per year, and it is at this event!

Join us at this event to learn how YOU can help reduce our overabundant wolf population.

We’re happy to announce that Idaho Fish & Game will be in attendance on Sunday August 9th and will be hosting the required Wolf Trapper Certification class. Sign up today- spots are limited!

DRY CAMPING (included in entry fee):

Bring your camper, RV, or tent, and feel free to take advantage of our gracious hosts’ hospitality. We are very thankful for the Finney Family allowing us to host this event on their private property, and even more so for the opportunity to camp out there.

Please be kind and respectful of this beautiful property and do all you can to leave it better than you found it. You are responsible for hauling your own garbage, picking up after yourself, and caring for the land we have been blessed to use. Please be courteous and respect other campers’ quiet time by keeping noise at reasonable levels and not running generators while folks are trying to sleep. Please- no fires…

Your interest in learning more about hunting and trapping wolves is what keeps this work moving forward. By showing up, asking questions, and building your skills, you’re helping protect the wildlife and hunting opportunities we all care about. We look forward to seeing you all there this year!
