I know a couple F & W and both their opinions are different.
Like many others, i've seen wolf numbers increase sharply in the areas i hunt. Down in the crowsnest pass these past 2 weekends i saw wolf tracks all over the place. more than a couple times they were in my tracks... they seem to always come out at night.
i'm on the fence on this one. part of me thinks we need an advantage to thin them out but another part thinks it's not fair chase...

Its less about being 'fair chase' and more about safe discharge of a firearm. How many stories do we read on AO forum every year about guys not feeling comfortable in broad daylight let alone in pitch darkness.
Not a chance would I ever be for any form of firearm or bow hunting at night.
