Wolf hunts in Idaho
Not sure if this is the best spot for this but I couldn't think of anywhere else. Anyway, Idaho finally set the harvest limit for wolves at 220. Let's see if it does any good. Story from the Idaho Statesman:
Hunters will be able kill a maximum 220 wolves in Idaho this season. Idaho Fish and Game commissioners set the limit for the state's first wolf hunt at their meeting Monday in Idaho Falls. The quota represents 25 percent of Idaho's wolf population. The commissioners voted 4-3 for the hunter harvest limit of 220, rejecting a plan that would have allowed hunters to take up to 430 wolves. Wolf hunting seasons are scheduled to begin Sept. 1. Tags are scheduled to go on sale Aug. 24. Defenders of Wildlife said in a press release that it plans to file an emergency motion to suspend the hunts and temporarily place wolves back on the endangered species list. Last month, wildlife officials in Montana voted to let hunters shoot 75 wolves starting in mid-September
