Good News for Idaho Wolves!!!
I copied this from the Idaho Statesman a few minutes ago. Can't wait to do my part!
Gov. Butch Otter told a crowd of more than 300 hunters he can't wait for a chance to hunt wolves in Idaho.
"I'm going to bid for the first ticket to shoot a wolf," Otter said to a cheering crowd.
A group, Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, bused in hunters from across southern Idaho to rally for the removal of wolves from the federal government's Endangered Species list. Federal officials said late last month the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service intends to file a rule proposing delisting in Idaho and Montana by the end of the month.
The final decision could come within the next year.
Otter declared today as Idaho Sportsman's Day. He joked about the big crowd gathered on the steps of the Capitol.
"I'd say the ducks are pretty safe today," Otter said.
