RE: Coming soon! Idaho Wolf Hunts
Sunds like the wolves are doin fine. Once you can hunt them, most hunters find wolf hunts very challenging and enjoyable. Having a 150 lb dog coming in to your predator call is an awsome expierience.

Again, not exactly. The Idaho management plan only refers to that 10 pack figure in terms of depredation control, not hunting or harvest. These are two very different things. Then if the population drops below 10, control and management refers back to the USFWS Final Rule

Aside from that, it only talks about management "similar to bears and mountain lions" which can mean anything and does not guarantee a general tag hunt.
Again, this is all up in the air right now. The wildlife bureau is just now beginning to determine how wolves will be hunted in Idaho.
I realize I'm not telling you guys what you want to hear, I'm just trying to give it to you straight. It's a pretty complex issue and I wish it were simple.
The quotes you hear in the newspaper are mostly politicians trying to placate, shake hands and kiss babies.

from what i heard fish and game claims there is only 650 wolves and 70+ packs, and they only want 100 wolves in 10 packs, 550 tags sounds like a start to me.

RE: Coming soon! Idaho Wolf Hunts
I'll wager that if they opened it up wide open they will be just like the coyotes we have all over Idaho now. We didn't rid ourselves of them the first time by shooting them, it took years of bounties, poison, and trapping. You will rarely see anything but tracks and aftermath. I just hope they hurry up and open it so we can instill fear to keep them away from our ranches.
