Wolf control board seeks OK to keep operating

"Rey said that for the first time in the board’s history, it spent more on wolf control in fiscal year 2018 than it took in. Rey previously said in a budget hearing before another committee the board spent $765,000 last year, about $136,000 more than it took in.”

"Tanya Espinosa, a spokeswoman for the Agriculture Department, said in an email on Monday that in fiscal year 2018, Wildlife Services killed 83 wolves in Idaho. Of those, 73 involved livestock attacks and 10 were an effort to boost elk numbers in northern Idaho and requested by Fish and Game."

765,000 isn't that about what Washington spends on a consultant?   

That seems like money well spent.

I hope the third livestock predation spells the end to the grouse flats pack.  The Blues are a small area to support 3 "recognized" packs ( Tucannon, Touchet, Grouse Flats)
I've saw 5 animals up close in a pack in there last spring - not sure if that pack was one of these or a yet to be recognized one.

Funny thing about wolves is everyone that didn't want them and are in some way, shape, or form affected by them are the ones funding the "program management" of them while everyone that thought wolves was such a great idea is held accountable for nothing at all and asked nothing of.

Thank you Wolfbait for keeping these type of real world situations front and center! I know others don't always want the reality and common sense facts laid out but it's important! Keep it in wolves and those who don't want to know can block
