Wolf Fine

[brdhuntr]

Ok, does anyone know what the actual fine can be for killing a wolf. Maybe our friend from Salmon can reply.

Put it this way, I bought a 2010 wolf tag and it says I have the right to hunt 'em at least for this year.

I believe that would be a poaching violation. That would result in a hefty fine that would range in the $3,000-$5,000 range, suspension of your hunting license for a 1 year minimum, and possible jail time.

And also, since they put the wolves back on the threatened/endangered species list, that would most likely result in some federal charges as well if caught.

Negative boys. It would not be poaching any more, at least not like poaching a deer or elk, Wolves are no longer under the Mgt. of the State. You shoot one or get accused of shooting one, the guys in the black suburbans show up. They are "special agents" and are Fed employees.
Your local State CO for F&G might be with them, (likely not because they want to be) but you will be in Fed court over it...

far as I know, it would be the same as "taking" a Bald Eagle. Don't know the fine, but I expect it would be significant.

Just practice the Ol Drop and rot.

Not sure exactly but I guarantee you don't want to find out. It'd be federal and pretty harsh I'm sure.
