Electronic calls fair game in Idaho wolf hunts

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Idaho wildlife officials will allow wolf trapping and the use of electronic calls in this year's wolf hunt.

Members of Idaho's Fish and Game Commission said Wednesday night they hope the measures will help reduce the state's wolf population.

The decision comes the same week that Montana more than doubled its quota for this year's wolf hunt, with the same goal of reducing its wolf population.

Idaho's population is estimated at a minimum of 835 wolves, while Montana had at least 524 wolves at the end of last year.

Hunting seasons in both states could be halted by U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy. The judge is expected to make a ruling in a lawsuit seeking to restore Endangered Species Act protections for wolves in Montana and Idaho.

Glad I had them(all their wolf sounds) added to my Foxpro, I was intending to use them to scare coyotes out of the thick stuff if they wouldn't come to any feeding or mating calls.
