During their November 6th meeting in Lewiston, the Idaho Fish & Game Commission passed a motion directing the Department to implement a number of actions relative to wolf management. The specific motion reads:

The Commission hereby authorizes and directs the Department as follows:

1. To review and update the underlying data which supports our Wolf Management Plan to include current data, review of conflict levels, population status, and harvest objectives needed to hunt wolves in the fall of 2009, assuming de-listing occurs.

2. To develop and implement plans and methods to obtain census information on wolves within federally classified wilderness areas utilizing the accepted "Minimum Tools Analysis" process.

3. To develop and aggressively utilize all available tools and methods to control wolf-caused depredation of domestic livestock.

4. To develop and aggressively utilize all tools and methods available under the new 10(J)Rule to control wolves in critical areas that are impacting ungulates starting with the Lolo Zone and progressing to other critical areas, in the event de-listing does not occur.

5. To continue to develop, implement and utilize wolf monitoring and estimation techniques and modeling.

6. To assemble and disseminate accurate factual information to inform and educate the public on wolf biology and successful wolf recovery and management in Idaho.

Brad,

Thank you for posting this information and the link. The time has come for F&G (and hunters) to draw the line in the sand and take a stand. Too much political BS involved with the wolves and if nothing happens quickly, we will be so far behind the curve, our big game herds will take forever to recover, which will invovle further restriction and regulation by F&G.

Thanks again.

Monday in 69 or on the border of 66 the Feds took out 4 more wolves plus were still tracking the 5th. These wolves have been raising havic on the cattle in that area and have even taken a horse. Glad to see these wolves gone.

They took out 2 from that pack about 3 weeks ago but obviously that did little good (just 2 less mouths to feed)
 
Brad,

Thanks for posting. Thanks for continuing to battle for the sportsmen on this issue. I found too many dead bulls last spring with wolves still chewing on them. Makes me sick.
 
Poachers are a problem....


Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
 
Jeff what is the point of that video and how does it relate to this thread? IDFG does a lot of investigating before they arrest someone.
Its fair chase, or its foul!
