Idaho wolf hunt without quotas in much of the state
« on: June 30, 2011, 07:03:03 PM »
Idaho wildlife managers will propose a wolf hunt without quotas in much of the state, but hunters so far have purchased only a fraction of the tags needed to kill the rangy predators, compared with the first hunt in 2009.

Having no limits on how many wolves can be killed in many hunting areas could be alarming for wildlife advocates who fear Idaho will manage wolves back into federal protection. There would still be quotas on parts of the Montana-Idaho border, where Department of Fish and Game managers seek to preserve a corridor where wolves from both states can wander back and forth and breed.

But with only about 3,100 tags sold through Thursday — compared with some 30,000 in 2009 — hunters are likely to fall well short of Idaho Department of Fish and Game's hopes of keeping predator numbers in check.

Honesty is the best policy,  but insanity is a better defense.

I think most folks are waiting to see if the hunt is actually going to happen.

Exactly, I'm not buying a tag until I'm on my way to go hunt a wolf. :twocents:
