It's come full circle... again.

Gov't spends money to study planting wolves

Gov't spends money planning to plant wolves

Gov't spends money attaining wolves

Gov't spends money planting wolves

Gov't spends money tracking wolves

Gov't spends money protecting wolves

Gov't spends money paying for wolf damage

Gov't spends money to remove wolves


I'm sure I skipped some steps.

Shows you how bad the wolf situation is when hunting and trapping are allowed and its still not enough...

This jogged my memory, and I remembered 2016 action:

https://idfg.idaho.gov/press/lolo-wolf-control-action-completed

IDFG removed 20 wolves from the Lolo unit in 1 week.    That was after hunting and trapping..... and the Lolo is a fairly small unit.   That's some insane wolf density.

And again.....   Tax dollars used to remove wolves placed there with tax dollars.     

P.S.   This removal was paid for with hunter license dollars.   Go figure.
