[QUOTE="Muskrat Outdoors, post: 2237441, member: 119188"] I disagree with you. Idaho Fish & Game has taken it slow and easy, adding a little more all the time. I live in Salmon, Idaho where wolves were a real problem a few years ago. Now I have trouble finding tracks in the snow. What they have been doing is working. The deer have fawns, and the elk have calves again where there was none a few years ago. I have a friend who is a Game Warden who likes to hunt wolves too. I talked with him today and he said the Anti-hunter/pro-wolf folks have already filed a petition against the bonehead action the state did. That is the first step. Once the petition is denied, the will file a law suit that will most likely end this years wolf hunting and trapping seasons. Their goal is to get wolves re-listed and block management for at least 5 years. You think we have too many wolves now? Just wait! Idaho hunters and trappers take roughly 700 wolves each year....block management for 5 years, that's 3,500 wolves that won't be taken.....and they breed, so you can add about a 1/3 more to that number........any way you look at this, the state screwed up! Leave it in the hands of F&G that is paid to manage them, not a bunch of idiots in office. I am a wolf hunter and trapper and voted against this BS. If they block the season I'll be ****ed! I have lost two elk guiding jobs after the outfitters I worked for went out of business due to lack of game. I have done ranch work for nearly 40 years. Take it easy, or lose it all! The anti's have a lot of power and you can't bully your way through this. If we try, we will lose. Extremes on both sides has been the problem from the start.
