From Steve Alder>IDFG contracted the wolf control to the USDA>IDFG is in the air! Just got the following email: In my opinion, it will be almost impossible until next winter to be effective because the wolves are down out of the snow with the elk.

I just got word they were able to fly the last couple of days---------do not have a count-------however it is tough, as we predicted it is not like the open country down south. The elk are following green up with wolves right behind so not able to chase in open on snow-----very expensive and dangerous flying. I understand a news release with more details is planned for later today.
