The wolf hunts are on the chopping blocks again as the judge has to decide if Idaho and Montana have decimated the wolf population enough to have another hunt this year.

U.S.Government subsidizes Ranchers for Wolf kills on Livestock

The Government has granted money to many western states in an effort to pay for the killing of livestock by wolves.
Hopefully the rancher will benefit from this program as the government is a little slow in making it's promises come true.

Wolf season is over in Idaho

April 1,2010 and wolf season is over in Idaho.There were approximately 185 wolves harvested in the first wolf season since way back when.
It is now a wait and see game on what will happen this year on wolf hunting in the west.But don't hesitate to buy a tag because if the wolf is placed back on the endangered list you will get your money back.
Good hunting all

A hunting controversy

One hundred eighty five wolves have been harvested in the Gem state,Idaho with thirty five left to fill the quota.
Only four days left in the hunting season on wolves,so doesn't look to good on that prognosis.
Also the zones in the north east portion off the state have to much snow to get to the wolf packs.Could mean an influx of wolves in the Idaho,Montana panhandle this year.

A hunting controversy

As of today there have been 183 wolves harvested in Idaho,with 37 left to harvest by the March 31,2010 dead line.
Seven hunting zones have been closed as the quota has been reached.

With only 20 days left in the wolf hunting season for Idaho,the hunters have harvested 179 wolves with 41 more left to harvest.
As I have stated before,that I didn't think Idaho would meet the 220 wolf quota the Idaho Fish and Game proposed to kill.
And most likely next year will be even worse as the wolf has found man to be a prediter and will hide when he smells or sees a human.
