Idaho wolves kill six cows in one week


“People don’t realize what’s happening,” Davis said. “This management is not working. We can’t continue to get more and more depredations.”

"Stuebner, of the Rangeland Resource Commission, said there have been many more wolf kills of livestock on private land than federal and state wildlife managers expected when they first placed wolves in central Idaho under Endangered Species Act provisions in 1995 and ’96.

Wildlife Services’ recent findings are similar, Espinosa said Aug. 7. The agency since May 31 confirmed 27 wolf depredations in the Cascade and Donnelly areas, the vast majority of which were on private property, she said."

I'm guessing they were old and sick cows.

One old cow,          $1400
Calf loss,                $ 300   Could be thousands if he was a replacement bull that stopped gaining weight when his mother was taken.  If the surviving calf was 5 months old less, 3 months old more.

Total/cow               $1700           
killed,

Production loss, weight and open cows, would be the next big hit, a nice round number would be $250/ pair


Kind of an expensive FWS experiment

IDAHO is not WA in regards to Wolves and management. 
Hunting Wolves in Idaho from a legal standpoint is easy, I grab a Wolf tag every time I head to Idaho to Hunt, it is about the cheapest hunting tag available as an out of state resident, like $25 if I recall.  I HIGHLY encourage anyone hunting in Idaho to grab a wolf tag as well as their intended target.

Not saying they are not a problem, but at least in ID there is a simple solution the ranchers can use and their hands are not tied like here.  Put out traps, contact local hunters/trappers, etc and git er done.
