Idaho Fish and Game pays $30,000 to kill 23 wolves
 
by Associated Press March 5, 2014
 
Idaho wildlife officials say it cost $30,000 to kill 23 wolves last month in northern Idaho.
 
Idaho Fish and Game announced earlier this week the money is coming from licenses the agency sells.
 
The agency last month said USDA Wildlife Service agents killed the wolves using a helicopter in the Lolo elk zone near the Montana border to improve elk survival in the area.
 
It's the sixth time the agency has taken action to kill wolves in the Lolo zone in the past four years. Forty-eight wolves have been killed in all.
 
The state's predator management plan calls for killing wolves when Idaho Fish and Game determines they are causing conflicts with people or domestic animals, or that they are a significant factor in declining numbers of elk or deer.

IDFW should issue Arial gunning permits. Could be pretty cool to shoot wolves out the window of a plane or chopper. Instead of paying they could get paid to do it... I know in Alaska the bush pilots carried an AR for whacking them when seen on the chance encounter.  :twocents:

No kidding. I bet more than a few guys would cough up cash to get strapped into a chopper and handed an AR to knock down wolves from the air. For extra, you could get the whole hunt videod for later enjoyment.

WTH........ Don't they know hunters would be more than happy to buy a tag and kill the wolves instead of a the Wildlife agencies dropping 30k?
