F&G Wolf Hunt Proposal Survey Questions Now Online
Idaho Fish and Game is gathering public opinion on its proposed wolf seasons that would use hunting and trapping to reduce the population to a level that is sustainable, meets federal recovery goals and reduces conflict levels statewide.
The proposal and the survey questions are available on the Fish and Game website at: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/hunt/wolf/proposals.cfm.
Fish and Game will survey 1,000 randomly selected hunters and 2,000 members of the public about the proposed wolf season. For anyone else interested, but not included in the survey, the questions will be posted on the website along with a place to offer comments. The results will be presented to the Idaho Fish and Game Commission at the July 27 and 28 meeting in Salmon.
The comment deadline is July 24. Written comments may also be sent to: Wolf Comments, Idaho Fish and Game, P.O. Box 25, Boise ID 83707.

Thanks for the update Tom!

I see that a Trapping course will be mandated. Any Idea on the where and when of the course?

No details yet on where and when for trapping course. IDFG staff are still working on format, etc. and to some extent waiting for Commission direction (at the July meeting). I suspect training will be widely available and likely occur during the fall, perhaps late summer. I'm sure there will plently of notification when the training schedule is developed.
