Title: Idaho wolf hunting tags now on sale
Post by: denali on May 05, 2011, 11:46:24 PM: The Idaho Department of Fish and Game has started selling wolf tags – $11.50 for resident hunters and $186 for nonresidents, vendor fees included.

Tags are available at license vendors and Fish and Game offices in Idaho. A valid 2011 Idaho hunting license is required to buy a tag.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service earlier today published the rule that removed wolves in Idaho from the endangered species list. The rule took effect upon publishing.

Gray wolves are now under state management and considered a big game animal.

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission will set seasons, rules and limits later in the summer, according to the news release.

I already have a lot planned for this season, but I am going to keep track of when the season is and what the rules are. If it fits in my schedule I would probably go, but I am sure there will be a number limit for non-resident tags.

Maybe we should look at a member group hunt. Anyone interested?

what was your total cost?

$154 for the hunting liscense (wich I had to buy anyways for my deer tags) and $186 for the Wolf tag. so $340 plus dealer costs.

Post by: HUNT on May 06, 2011, 08:21:42 AM: If I remember correctly- Last year they were going to allow you to shoot a wolf with you deer tag or your elk tag..... Then the wolf season was cancelled. I wonder if they will allow you to do the same thing again this year????

Post by: deerdog on May 06, 2011, 06:23:50 PM: I don't think they will let you shoot a wolf and use your deer or elk tag, but you can use your deer or elk tag to shoot either a bear or cougar. As I used my deer tag last year to shoot a cougar.
