I'm not sure how many tags were sold but the harvest limit was set somewhere around 220, which is about 1/4 of the total population. A total of 4 have been taken legitemately and one dumba$$ poached a female. The judge said that he's not making a decision right now but think that, in the future, he will probably side with the environmental groups on suspending the hunts. I know that the area I used to hunt elk is now almost devoid of elk because of the wolves. I've also talked to several friends who are now looking for new spots to hunt deer and elk. The wolves are really getting out of control but at least the gov't is doing something about it, even if it is about 3 years late. We'll have to wait and see how this first season goes.
