jhoffman, the so called turn over is a highly debated subject in Idaho right now. The article is partially correct. The state is "in control" however Idaho has to ask for permission to dispatch the animals. Kinda like a drivers permit only allows you to drive with your folks in the car. The ID fish and game is trying to get the go ahead to kill 75% of the wolves in the Lolo zone right now. The elk heards have been hammered hard. There is alot of poltical crap going on right now, and there are many sportsmans groups keeping a close eye on the situation. The greenies are doing all they can to stop it. I keep seeing a picture of the scared little wolf with ice on its face pleeding to help save the wolves. Give me a break. Those suckers don't look like that when they have claimed an elk kill.
