I've hunted wolves a couple times. I've never had success, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But the one time I chased them in Idaho was during archery elk season. Everyone we talked to assumed we were also out hunting elk (even though we were carrying guns). As soon as we told them we were looking for wolves, they'd get excited and would try to offer us advice and possible locations to check out.
All that to say, take advantage of the local hunting community. Talk to people who are out there in the field, at gas stations, and everywhere else. People seemed pretty willing to share spots if they knew you were looking to bag a wolf.

I don’t know Justin but he is one of the 4 wolf trappers in the areas I hunt and thanks to him and the others there are a few elk remaining, sadly two of the trappers are in the mid 60s and their extensive knowledge hopefully gets past on as I know one of them has trapped a crazy number and when I met him in the backcountry I shook his hand 3 times as he whipped out an 8x10 photo showing me his impressive collection

the reality of what the wolves did in north Idaho and northwest Montana is only known to guys like Justin and families with a long history of hunting this country….don’t want to see it happen elsewhere if it can be slowed or stopped.
